To your health
DO use protectants.
chapped Lips
Dos and Don’ts
Contributed by Katie Wilbers,
RPh, pharmacist
At one time or another,
everyone has had chapped
lips — lips that are dry,
scaly, cracked and sensitive.
Following these dos and
don’ts, along with advice
from your doctor or pharmacist,
will help you prevent
and treat chapped lips.
Lip treatments like carmex moisture Plus, blistex and
chapstick are protectants. these products contain ingredients
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to
provide a barrier from the wind and cold that cause chapped lips.
Apply protectants before going outside and reapply frequently while
your lips are exposed to the weather.
DO use hydrocortisone.
this cream has been approved by the FDA for topical application
to treat minor skin irritations. Hydrocortisone 0.25% to 1%
is available over the counter. Apply hydrocortisone several times
each day to heal chapped lips.
DON’T use products with salicylic acid.
Salicylic acid causes the outer layer of skin to peel off,
exposing the healthy skin underneath. However, the same
action that causes the peeling also harms the new skin,
causing it to chap as well.
DON’T lick your lips.
Saliva evaporates very fast and leaves your lips dryer than
they were before.
