JAKARTA - Lips are very sensitive to weather, extreme temperatures, and exposure to chemicals because their skin is thin and does not have oil glands. Thus, it is not surprising that the lips quickly dry, break, or even peel the skin.
In dealing with dry lips, it is not always just using lip balm. There are several natural actions and ingredients that can be used to treat dry lips, as quoted from Healthline, on Saturday, May 17, 2025.
1. Exfoliate
To treat dry lips, start by exfoliating. This action is useful for lifting a pile of dead skin cells on the lips, which can inhibit the absorption of nutrients and dry out the lips.
When exfoliating, you don't need to use expensive products. It can be with natural ingredients, namely mixing a little sugar with honey into a natural scrub.
Use it gently on the mixed lips for one minute, then rinse with warm water and dry with tissue. Do it once to twice a week, because if it's too often it will make your lips sensitive.
2. Apply coconut oil
After exfoliating, return the moisture of the lips using coconut oil. Coconut oil is known for its emolient nature, which is able to moisturize the skin and maintain longer humidity.

In addition, coconut oil also contains anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, which are very good at dealing with dry lips, breaking or suffering minor injuries.
3. Use organic honey
To treat dry lips, you can also use organic honey. Honey has long been used as a natural ingredient for skin care, due to its antioxidant-rich content, antibacterial, and wound healing properties.
In using it, apply thin honey to the lips using a clean finger or cotton bud, then let stand for a while to absorb. You can use it several times a day according to your needs.
