Lips have no oil glands and thin skin, so dry winter air chaps them fast — leading to peeling, cracking and soreness. The fix is constant moisture + protection, and stopping the habits that dry them.
How to heal cracked lips
- A thick occlusive balm (petrolatum/Vaseline-type, shea, lanolin) through the day and a heavier layer at night.
- An overnight lip mask for badly cracked lips (e.g. Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask). See the lip care guide.
- Gentle exfoliation once a week if peeling — a soft cloth, then balm. Do not pick.
- SPF lip balm in the day — lips burn in winter sun too.
Stop doing these
- Licking your lips — saliva evaporates and dries them more.
- Peeling the flakes — it cracks and bleeds.
- Menthol/camphor/strong-flavour balms if lips are already raw — they can sting and dry.
When to see a doctor
Painful cracks at the corners, persistent inflammation or a rash that will not heal may need a doctor.
