Tip 1: How to prevent dry lips

Do you tend to moisten your lips with your tongue? Try not to. The saliva will make your lips feel less dry for a while, but then it has the opposite effect. The enzymes in your saliva dry out your lips. Instead, apply a layer of lip balm to hydrate, protect, and keep them supple.

Tip 2: Remove the flakes on your lips

As tempting as it may be, don't pull on loose skin! This can cause wounds, and you certainly don't want that. By gently exfoliating your lips twice a week, you gently remove dead skin cells and flakes. The jojoba beads in our exfoliator gently remove dry flakes, and the enzymes loosen dead skin cells. Massage the exfoliator onto your dry, chapped lips, let it work for 5 minutes, and then rinse. Thanks to prickly pear extract, vitamins, and shea butter, your lips will be instantly soft and perfectly hydrated.

Tip 3: Our lip gloss helps against chapped lips

Prevention is always better than cure. So treat your chapped lips to a good lip balm like our Hybrid Lip Gloss . Then you'll never suffer from extremely dry lips again. This multifunctional superhero is packed with skin-loving ingredients like castor oil, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and bisabolol that hydrate and repair your dry lips. Thanks to the soft formula, the gloss applies easily and doesn't feel sticky when pressed together. That makes Hybrid Lip Gloss the best lip care for your dry lips. Tip: Are your lips extremely dry or even chapped? Then use Hybrid Lip Gloss at night too!

Tip 4: Water = lip care from within

Proper hydration prevents your lips from drying out. It's also good for your skin, keeping it elastic and soft. So don't forget to drink plenty of water every day. The rule of thumb is 2 liters per day. But because we're not all the same, you can also apply this rule: your body weight x 35 ml = your ideal daily water intake.

Tip 5: Aim for a healthy lifestyle (and beautiful lips!)

You've known for a long time that smoking, alcohol, and caffeine are bad for your health. But did you know they also dry out your lips faster? Your body needs water to break down the alcohol, which rapidly reduces the moisture content in all tissues (including your lips). And the soot particles you exhale while smoking stick to your lips, making them dry. All the more reason to maintain that healthy lifestyle.

Tip 6: Protect your lips

Your lips are extra vulnerable when humidity drops and in cold weather. They can easily dry out and become chapped. Apply a moisturizing, protective lip balm as soon as you notice your lips starting to feel dry, and reapply throughout the day.

Tip 7: Vitamins make chapped lips soft again

A varied diet keeps your lips healthy. A vitamin A, B2, and C deficiency can cause dry lips and flaky skin. So fill your shopping cart with fruits and vegetables, as they're rich in the vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants you need right now. Both your lips and your skin will benefit!
