Preventing and treating dry, cracked lips

Cold, dry weather, sun damage, and frequently licking your lips are just some of the reasons why your lips might feel dry and chapped this winter. Understanding the causes and triggers for dry, chapped lips goes a long way in preventing and treating them. Here are some tips to try at home.

Choose non-irritating lip products. Look for lip balms, lipsticks, and other lip products that contain ingredients like castor seed oil, ceramides, dimethicone, or mineral oil. Make sure your lip product is also labeled “fragrance free” and “hypoallergenic.” Avoid ingredients such as camphor, menthol, or eucalyptus, as these can irritate your lips. If your lips burn, sting, or tingle after using a lip product, stop using that product.

Apply lip balm throughout the day and before you go to bed. If your lips are very dry and cracked, try a thick ointment, such as petroleum jelly. Ointment seals in moisture longer than waxes or oils.

Protect your lips outdoors. Apply a lip balm with an SPF of 30 or higher before going outdoors, even in the winter. Look for a lip balm with titanium dioxide and/or zinc oxide and reapply it every two hours while outdoors.

Keep your skin hydrated. Drink plenty of water and use a humidifier at home — especially in your bedroom while you sleep.

Stop licking, biting, or picking at your lips. When your lips feel dry, it may feel natural to wet them by licking them, but this can worsen the problem. When you catch yourself licking your lips, apply a non-irritating lip balm instead.

Avoid holding metal items with your lips. Everyday items like paperclips, jewelry and reusable metal straws can irritate your lips.

Chapped lips are usually harmless, however sometimes they can be a sign of a medical condition. If your dry, chapped lips do not heal after following these tips for two to three weeks, call our office at 503 364-3321 and make an appointment with one of our Board Certified Dermatologists.
