Don’t Pick at Flaky Lips—Try This at Night (Before-Bed Lip Care Routine)

When you see flaky skin on your lips, your hand reaches for it first, right? It seems like you can just peel off a little, but it always comes off in a bigger piece than you expected and stings. The next day, that spot feels even rougher.

It’s much quicker to soften the flakes and let them come off on their own than to pick them off. And the longest time to do that is while you sleep.

3-Minute Lip Care Before Bed

1. Right after cleansing. Gently pat away the moisture and start before your lips dry out.
2. About twice as much as usual. Apply a thin layer during the day, but a generous layer at night. It’s okay if it goes slightly beyond your lip line.
3. Dab it on, don’t rub. Rubbing can actually lift the flaky skin. Just think of it as covering your lips.
4. Go to sleep with it on. Since you can’t reapply while you sleep, apply plenty from the start.

In the morning, gently wipe away any lip balm left on your lips with your fingers while washing your face with lukewarm water. The softened flakes will come away gently too.

Apply a Thin Layer Often During the Day

If you applied a generous layer at night, just reapply a thin layer throughout the day. Once after eating, and once after having coffee. If you can just resist wetting your lips with saliva when they feel tight, you’re halfway there.

Avoid These

• Picking flakes off with your fingers or biting them off
• Rubbing with a scrub every day
• Licking your lips all day
