Soft and smooth are the ideal texture most people want for their lips. Chapped and peeling lips can be painful and aren't the easiest canvas to apply lipstick to. External elements like extreme cold or a dry climate can make matters even worse. Since dehydration is the primary cause of chapped lips, keeping them moisturized is the key to healing them. Here's a simple DIY lip mask that'll do just that.
The Mayo Clinic recommends drinking between eight and nine 8-ounce glasses of water a day. Substitute juices if desired, as any fluid intake counts toward your daily hydration goal.
Mix honey and a dash of sugar in a bowl. Apply a thin layer of the mixture to your lips.
Apply a layer of coconut oil on top of the honey mixture. Let this lip mask absorb for 10 to 15 minutes.
