Apply eye ointment to moisten lips: It is better to apply eye ointment than lip balm to dry lips in autumn and winter. Eye ointment can also be used to prevent dry lips in autumn and winter. Many lip balms on the market mainly contain vaseline oil, and erythromycin eye ointment also contains a lot of vaseline, which can play the same role as lip balm. Moreover, erythromycin can also diminish inflammation and sterilize. For those chapped, broken and bleeding lips, erythromycin is more effective than lip balm and more affordable.

In addition, there is also a good medicine for the treatment of cleft lip and mouth, that is toothpaste. Toothpaste has a better therapeutic effect, and it is more useful to deal with those severe lip cracks. Generally, toothpaste contains mint or other bactericidal ingredients, which can play a very good role.
Don't let your mouth touch the water again: if your lips are already chapped, try not to let your lips touch the water again. If peeling begins, it is best to stop brushing your teeth for a while. It is recommended to use chewing gum or dental floss instead of brushing your teeth during this time when your lips are restored.
The correct use of lip balm lip balm should be used when the lips are healthy. If the lips have begun to peel off, stop using it. Once molting or bleeding begins, lipstick should be stopped. At this time, you can apply some edible vegetable oil or honey to keep your lips moist and avoid dryness caused by lack of water.
