  • Wear lipstick. Studies have shown that creamy lipsticks in addition to a sunscreen will help soothe lips that are already chapped. The lipstick filters out the light, including harmful rays, so pucker up and put on that lipstick.

  • Use a sunscreen. The sun can damage your lips (especially the bottom one) the same way as it damages the rest of your skin, so use a lip balm that contains a sunscreen.

  • Don’t lick your Lipsl. When you lick your lips, you apply moisture, which then evaporates and leaves your lips feeling even dryer than before.
