While licking your lips may feel good, it is only a temporary solution and may actually make them more chapped. The more you lick, the drier they get because the saliva attracts moisture from deep within the skin and then evaporates into dry air. Another thing to consideris that saliva has digestive enzymes and those can breakdown the skin. DIY Lip Scrub: brown sugar and honey. Sugar exfoliates and honey is antibacterial and hydrating. Apply lip balm when finished. ~~~ * * * #skintips #skincaretips #beautytips #estheticiantips #liptips #beautyhacks #diy #lipscrub #diylipscrub #honey #antibacterial #hydrating #lipbalm #chappedlips #drylips #winterskin #skingoals #skinaddict #skincarecommunity (at Orange, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAQpSughFt/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=wi4x01en17am
