Because of the cold weather, my lips get dry and cracked a lot of the time. Also, my lips don't feel smooth when I press them together. What's the best way to get the dead skin off your mouth?
Thanks girlies! I just used my toothbrush and some lip balm and they're looking fa-bu-lous!! ^_^

There are a few things you can do to keep your lips soft and nourished all year long.
Start with mixing a bit of honey and baking soda. Apply this mix on the lips and rub it in gently. This paste will remove the dead skin cells and the peeling skin and leave the lips very soft. After this, apply a lip balm.
I also find applying only honey to be very good. If your lips are severely chapped, it might cause a tingling sensation but don't worry about that! Honey is the best natural antiseptic and cleanser you can find around, it won't harm the skin one bit. Its ingredients will penetrate the skin and nourish the lips wonderfully.
Applying good old Vaseline is very effective also. Apply it before going to bed and your lips will be soft and healed in the morning.
If you're in a hurry and notice that your lips are dry and flaky. What I do is carry a mini toothbrush in my handbag(you get these free on an airplane).In the restroom I give them a quick brush on them and apply my favorite lip gloss for beautiful lips in a flash.
Take few apple seeds, grind them and add a little bit of water to make it a paste. Rub it on cracked/dry lips before going to bed at night.
Hope this helps you!Posted 2 years ago # -
put your toothbrush under the tap and then go over your lips with it then put some vaseline on or something

Run your toothbrush under warm water, then brush your lips. I know it sounds weird but it really helps. When you are finished, apply Vaseline.

This may sound crazy but I used to have horrible, dry, cracked lips. If you put Vasoline on an old toothbrush thats not too dirty you can just scrub the dead skin right off of your lips it works!

i use homemade sugar scrub, you can just use sugar to scrub your lips, or you can mix it with some honey and then scrub your lips. don't scrub too hard, and then use lots of lip balm. it works!
