1. Exfoliate your lips 

 Before you head to bed at night, apply a good quality lip balm. After waking up, use a damp washcloth or a toothbrush to gently rub off any dead or dry skin. This will also boost circulation to the area.

2. Try a homemade lip scrub 

 Using this recipe, you can exfoliate the thin skin on your lips with raw sugar while you lock in moisture with almond oil and honey.

 One of the most common causes of dry skin is not drinking enough water. Getting eight glasses of water a day will benefit your body in lots of ways, and fuller-looking lips are an added benefit.

4. Use vitamin E

 If you have vitamin E capsules, you can simply cut one open and apply the product right to your lips. Vitamin E boosts circulation and may help generate new skin cells, making your lips softer.

 You can purchase pure aloe vera gel or even crack a leaf from an aloe plant in your home for this remedy. Aloe vera has soothing and healing properties, helping lips to look their best.

 Using a few drops of lemon juice, you can make your lips appear brighter and slough off dead skin. Just rub the lemon juice on to your skin and watch your skin brighten up before your eyes. Make sure your lips aren’t cracked or super dry before you use this remedy, as it may sting and make things worse.

9. Take off your makeup before bed 

 Sleeping in your makeup isn’t good for your skin, and your lips are no exception. Even if there’s no visible lipstick or product on your lips at the end of the day, give them a gentle swipe with a makeup-removing wipe before you hit the pillow.

10. Coconut oil for lips

 Coconut oil is also considered an emollient. Emollients are non-cosmetic moisturizers that help keep the skin moist, and they’re primarily used to protect the skin. They trap moisture in your skin, so these tend to work best immediately after bathing. However, you can apply them throughout the day as needed, especially when considering your lips, which lose moisture more rapidly than the rest of the body. Some people use coconut oil as a wrinkle treatment. When you use the oil on your lips, you may help your surrounding skin look smoother and more radiant.

 While coconut oil may be used in place of your daytime lip balm, it can also work well as an overnight treatment mask. The key here is to combine the oil with a thicker protectant, such as honey. You can use equal parts and mix honey and coconut oil until a thick cream forms. Apply to your lips and then rinse off in the morning.

 For added moisture, consider combining coconut oil with other moisturizing ingredients, such as:

•  avocado oil
•  beeswax
•  olive oil
•  raw honey
•  shea butter

 You can apply these ingredients with equal parts coconut oil for even more moisture. Apply as a mask, or leave on overnight and during the day for maximum results.

 Be sure to see your doctor if you develop any side effects after using coconut oil or any combination recipes. You may also need medical advice if your lips remain extremely dry and chapped.
