Dr. Schultz’s Tip of the Week: How to “Lick” Chapped Lips

As the weather changes to colder temperatures and humidity drops, many people experience not only dry skin but also chapped lips. The reason they are so difficult to heal is because almost everyone tries to help them by licking them in an effort to moisten them. But the function of saliva is to aid in the process of food digestion by starting to dissolve it. So instead of moistening your lips, saliva is actually corrosive and irritates, exfoliates, cracks and further dries them. Instead, lip balms, ointments like aquaphor and petroleum jelly, and other viscous coatings are the way to fix your chapped lips.
