Chapped and Cracked?
Okay one of the worst things EVER is chapped lips. They hurt, they look nasty, lipstick can’t go on right, and they never seem to fully heal. Most people struggle during the winter or any severely dry weather, but I personally feel like I battle chronic chapped lips, granted I don’t know if that’s a real thing, I felt like I could never get them to heal. I would drink tons of water, I tried all of the treatments, chapsticks, scrubs, you name it and i’ve given it a go.
This honestly used to be something I was self conscience of. Not to make matters worse but I struggle with anxiety and used to pick at my lips, which of course, made it so much worse. THEN I started filling my lips which can also give you a stronger chance of chapped lips. FINALLY I found my miracle combination to treat them, and IT WORKS. Here are the products I used to literally cure my chapped lips:
1) Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
Every night before bed I slather this all over my lips. I have the berry option, I don’t know if the other ones work differently or if it’s just a preference on smell and flavor but this one has worked wonders. It is infused with vitamin C and antioxidants. They even say it helps with fine lines. After I brush my teeth I softly exfoliate my lips and then put a decent layer of this on. Then you just leave it. I swear it is a miracle worker. It makes my lips so soft, and I even have used it on my toddler when his lip splits or are getting chapped. Within a few nights the split will be completely healed and gone.

2) Hanalei Lip Treatment
I remember getting this in a Sephora reward or Ipsy bag, something and I really liked it. This lip treatment comes in clear and tints. It is made with the Hawaiian Kukui nut oil, shea butter, agave nectar, and grapeseed oil. I apply this in the morning after washing my face and brushing my teeth. It goes on smooth, but it does have a thicker feel, though it isn’t like a goopy sticky sensation. Honestly I find I only have to apply this once or twice throughout the day believe it or not. It is AMAZING. They even make a lip scrub which works wonders but honestly I don’t even feel like I have to use it often!!

Now the next question is can I just use one or do I have to use both? I truthfully have tried both on their own and still dealt with chapped lips. Theres is something about combining them that is an absolute miracle worker. I will not go without them and it is such a relief to no longer feel insecure about my lips!! Let me know if you try these and how they work!! Don’t forget though, you need to stay hydrated as well!
