Just like our skin, dry lips are inevitable during the cold, dreary month of February. You should absolutely make running to CVS a priority if you want to keep your lip moisturization on fleek.

First, though, you should consider that there is something you do every day that can actually make dry lips even drier. I will let you in on a little secret because I'm nice like that.
This may come as a shock, but something you do often is actually making your dry lips worse. Avoid licking your lips! I know this can be hard, because sometimes we even do it subconsciously, but stop it!
Your saliva is acidic, so constantly licking your lips when they are dry can cause them to become even more dehydrated.
When you feel the urge to lick your lips, reach for this lip balm instead. Your lips will thank you for it.
