Chapped lips are not just a winter problem. If you find yourself reaching out for that lip balm often to keep your lips moist and hydrated, you are not alone. Dry, chapped lips are a common concern and if left untreated can result in dryness, flakiness, bleeding lips and discolouration.
So if you’re looking for a safe and inexpensive way to deal with constantly dry and flaky lips, then glycerine could be the answer. It is considered to be one of the most effective ingredients in treating chapped lips. Take a look at some of the benefits of using this glycerine on the lips and the right way to use it.
Removes dead skin cells: Apart from making your lips healthy and soft, it also helps remove flakes and dead skin cells.
Makes lips softer: Applying a thin coat of glycerine on your lips everyday will nourish them, keeping them soft and healthy.
Prevents skin irritation: Lip dryness can also lead to skin irritation; glycerine will not only keep your lips hydrated, but will also form a protective layer to prevent irritation caused by environmental factors.
Lightens natural lip colour: Let’s face it; pigmented lips look unappealing, but this can be corrected with the use of glycerine. It will help revive the natural lip colour within a short period of time.
How to use glycerine on lips
Take a cotton swab and dip it in glycerine
Apply gently all over the lips at night time before going to bed
Repeat this process every night before going to bed to achieve soft, pink and healthy lips. If you are applying it during the day leave it on your lips for at least 15-20 minutes before washing off.
