Tip: This method helps replenish lip moisture and alleviate dryness. Perform every 5 days; after about 3 sessions, your lips will become hydrated and soft.
Tip: Never lick your lips, no matter how dry they feel.
Avoid licking dry lips, as saliva contains amylase. When saliva evaporates, the amylase left on your lips intensifies dryness, creating a vicious cycle of "the more you lick, the drier they get." Frequent licking also allows bacteria in saliva to enter cracks and cause infections.
