Heal chapped lips

Here’s an easy at-home remedy to keep cracking at bay:

1. Mix two parts Vaseline with one part sugar to make a paste. (The petroleum jelly moisturizes, while the sugar crystals exfoliates.)

2. Rub a soft toothbrush or a cloth on lips for about 30 seconds, then wipe away with a soft tissue or a warm damp cloth.

3. Coat lips with a moisturizing balm. For extremely dry, cracking lips, I like to use a medicated on with quick-soothing ingredients like menthol or camphor.
