Vaseline is better than coconut oil for lips and is an ingredient in most chapsticks including Carmex.

Coconut oil is also very good at treating dry skin and hair and lips but Vaseline also known as petroleum jelly is better.

Vaseline is good for lips as Vaseline forms a protective layer on your lips and penetrates deep down to rehydrate your skin and speed up the natural renewal process.

Applying Vaseline to the lips can help to seal in moisture and prevent chapped lips as well.

Coconut oil is also a good option for treating and preventing dry cracked lips and coconut oil also seals in moisture.

Lip balms and lip oils also work well at treating and preventing dry chapped and cracked lips.

Lip oils with healing and hydrating ingredients like honey and grapeseed oil provide essential nutrients to rejuvenate parched lips and seal in moisture.

Apply lip oil on its own or over your favorite lip color, and reapply as needed throughout the day.

Aloe Vera and Rose Water are also good for moisturizing dry lips.

Licking your lips frequently can also result in the loss of any natural moisture and can leave your lips dry and chapped.

Regular application of lip moisturizer can help you avoid these issues and can produce the most beautiful results for your lips and your overall look.

A lip balm can help smooth, soften, and moisturize lips.

Using one throughout the day can help replenish moisture and help prevent lips from becoming dry in the first place.

This means you shouldn't wait for your lips to get parched before picking up a tube.

A deficiency in B vitamins may cause dry lips.

A lack of other nutrients, like zinc, iron, and water, may also lead to dry lips.

These and other nutrient deficiencies may occur due to diet, poor digestion, poor absorption, and certain health conditions.

You can purchase a commercial lip scrub, or make your own by combining a teaspoon of sugar with equal amounts of honey and coconut oil.

Simply apply the scrub to your lips and massage gently using a circular motion until the dead skin has been loosened.

A good homemade lip scrub is to use honey and sugar.

Mix one teaspoon of honey with two teaspoons of sugar.
Massage the mixture into your lips and leave for 10 minutes or so.
Remove with the help of a wet face washer.
