19 Ways To Beat Chapped Lips

Dry, cracked, chapped lips are one of my biggest beauty pet peeves. Not only does it look unsightly, I am sure that it has to be very painful. As we enter the fall and the winter months, chapped lips can sneak up on even the most well intentioned lips.

I combat dry lips in my house by applying Aquaphor, religiously. My children know not to even think about leaving the house without doing their daily hygiene rituals, one of which includes putting Aquaphor on their lips. And of course, chapped lips can happen at any time of day, so I make certain to have small tubes of Aquaphor in my car, in the kid's backpacks, in my purse, in my husband's briefcase etc.

I swear by Aquaphor but was very curious to see how others beat the beast of chapped lips. Chapped lips be darned! This winter we shall all vow to go chapless!

Check out 19 ways to cure chapped lips. And honestly, information like this should be a public beauty service announcement. Don't be stingy, make sure to share this list with your friends and family. Chapped lips are never, ever good.
