The skin on your lips is delicate, and it easily dries and begins to flake. If you have dry, cracked lips, you need to condition your lips instead of trying to cover them up. A light lip scrub and the right kind of lipbalm can do the trick in a matter of minutes.
If you dont have a lip scrub you can buy one, (I recommend e.l.f. Studio Lip Exfoliator )
or you can make one from home.
DIY LIP SCRUB:
Mix a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of honey.
Rub the scrub over your lips in a circular motion.
Rinse your lips, and repeat if necessary.

If you don't have the items to make a homemade lip scrub you can try using a toothbrush to do the job. Wet your lips and rub a clean toothbrush over them using a gentle circular motion. Rinse your lips and repeat if necessary.
Your lips are exposed to all kinds of substances that can dry them out on a daily basis. Hot and cold temperatures, food and beverages you consume, wind, sun, and air pollution all have an effect on the state of your lips. Protect them every day by using a good moisturizing lip balm, (I recommend Nivea Lip Butters) to provide a thin barrier between your lips and the rest of the world.
Look for a balm made with natural substances. Key ingredients that moisturize your lips include coconut oil or butter, shea butter, and vitamin E oil.
To make your own healthy balm, simply melt together 2 tablespoons coconut oil and 1 tablespoon beeswax. You can scent the mixture with five drops of your favorite essential oil. Pour it into a clean lip balm jar and allow it to cool before using.
Hope these little tips helped you!
