Having dry, cracked, and dehydrated lips can be uncomfortable and frustrating, especially after trying so many masks, glosses, and home remedies. On TikTok, #drylips has more than 142.2M views, indicating that everyone experiences it occasionally.
Your lips are delicate, which makes them susceptible to becoming dry and cracked. Your lips have only 3-5 layers of skin, which makes them lose moisture quickly. It can be difficult to maintain hydration on your lips since they do not have the same barrier or natural oils as your skin.
Board-certified multi-specialist physician, Dr. Azza Halim shares her secret for hydrated and plump lips that guarantee a smooth canvas for immaculate lipstick application. Her secret starts with drinking LOTS of water to hydrate the skin from within. After cleansing the lips with a hot wet towel, exfoliate them with a quality exfoliator. Finally, stay away from lip balms that have flavored ingredients.
