5 Things You Are Doing That Are Making Your Chapped Lips Worse

Choose your lipsticks very carefully when trying to heal chapped lips. Shamban says to steer clear of matte lipsticks or any lip products with chemical fragrances or mint, menthol or eucalyptus flavoring, which will only exacerbate the dryness and irritation. Certain metals found in glitter can also lead to irritation so skip them until your lips are completely healed.

"Use petroleum-based or a super emollient lip ointment or a tinted balm instead," suggests Shamban. Try Glossier Ultralip Hydrating Shine + Color, $18.
