Low Humidity. : You should have humidifier in your bed room. Avoid very hot rooms. Apply 1% Hydrocortisone ointment twice daily.

Too dry- moisturise: Chapped lips? Hydrate well- water is best. You can apply lip balms with beeswax base or oil base creams. Remember that lips require solar protection just like your skin – apply & reapply balms or creams with a minimum spf of 15. Going skiing ?- protect from sun & windburn by covering with a scarf or a ski / snowboard face mask with visor. Dry air? - use a humidifier. Try not to lick your lips!
