Brilio.net - Dry and chapped lips are a condition where the lips lose their natural moisture so they become dry, rough and often feel uncomfortable. Not infrequently, dry and chapped lips can cause pain, irritation, and can even bleed in more severe cases. This condition can be caused by various factors, for example environmental conditions, dehydration or the habit of licking your lips.
Moreover, fasting often causes dry and chapped lips . The reason is that during fasting a person may experience dehydration due to lack of fluid intake during the fasting period. Apart from that, fasting can also affect a person's drinking and eating habits which can cause lips to become increasingly dry and chapped. To prevent dry and chapped lips during fasting, it is important to ensure adequate fluid intake when breaking the fast and at dawn.
It is important to avoid consuming too much food and drinks that contain caffeine or sugar. These types of drinks can increase the risk of dehydration. Therefore, you can maintain a healthier eating and drinking pattern and use a good lip balm.
Not only using moisturizer, you can also treat dry and chapped lips by using ingredients in the kitchen, such as sugar and honey.
Sugar has good exfoliating abilities for the lips.
Sugar is one ingredient that can be used to treat dry and chapped lips. Although sugar has exfoliating properties that can help remove dead skin cells from the surface of the lips, using it directly may not be ideal for dealing with dry and chapped lips. This is because sugar has a rough texture and can cause irritation or even injury to sensitive lips.
