Sleeping with the air conditioner turned on will dry your lips out as air conditioner dries the air out. Use a humidifier to keep the air moist. Drink more water. Water is called life’s juice for a reason. It helps keep your body hydrated and gives your lips the plump look you are looking for.

Every part of our body is covered with skin cells. Skin cells are constantly being shed so use an exfoliator to remove the dead skin cells. If you have sensitive skin or your lips are very chapped or cracked use the exfoliator with caution as you might cause bleeding and irritate your lips. Protect your lips from the harsh enviroment by using lip products containing sunblock properties.

As much as matte lipsticks being all the rage now, matte lipsticks actually dries your lip alot.
