Fimela.com, Jakarta Fasting requires us to hold back our appetite and drink during the day.Hot weather during the day and lack of drinking water causes our lips to become dry and even cracked.During Ramadan, one of the main beauty complaints is dry and chapped lips due to fasting.Lips are especially vulnerable because unlike other areas of the skin, they don't have oil and sweat glands to keep them moist.In addition, the cause of dry to chapped lips is because the skin on our lips is 15 times thinner than the skin on our bodies.So it requires extra care and protection, especially during the holy month when hydration levels are at their lowest.Fortunately, there are several ways to help treat flaky, dehydrated lips.Listen as follows;The best way to treat chapped and dry lips is to increase your water intake during iftar and suhoor.In general, drinking two liters of water per day will keep us hydrated.Incorporate soups, and herbal teas into the diet all of which contribute to total fluid intake.Exfoliating lips makes them softer and more hydrated, without stripping away their natural moisture.You can make your own lip scrub at home using kitchen ingredients such as honey and sugar.Once the skin on your lips has peeled off, look for a lip balm that contains ceramides and natural oils.Use a lip balm like Lip Balm, or petroleum jelly to keep your lips hydrated.Lip masks are easy to use and pack, look for lip masks with moisturizing ingredients like hyaluronic acid, shea butter and vitamin E. To use, place on lips for 10 minutes.Then, remove the patch and allow the remaining serum to absorb into the skin.Dry air can strip moisture from the skin.Consider incorporating a humidifier into your room during the holy month to add some much-needed moisture to the air.We tend to lick our lips to get rid of dryness, but it actually makes them even drier.Not only does saliva contain acids that can irritate the lips, but constant licking will strip the skin of its natural oils.Instead, use a soothing cream to nourish and soothe dry lips.*Reporter: Jeihan Lutfiah Zahrani Yusuf
