3. Maintain with Homemade Lip Balm

A good lip balm helps lock moisture in to prevent drying and cracking. Apply any time you’re headed out into the cold. If you’re starting with step 3 because your lips are chapped or split already, this lip balm will protect the delicate skin on your lips from further damage, so they can heal.

Organic Authority has a great, simple recipe for a DIY lip balm. If you want to make a vegan lip balm instead, you can use candelila wax in place of the beeswax, 1:1.
