Hypoallergenic
When lips become dry and irritated, it can be challenging to pinpoint exactly what’s causing discomfort. Therefore, it’s essential that lip products designed as non-irritant and hypoallergenic balms be chosen; these balms will soothe rather than aggravate and can help relieve dryness, flakiness, or itching symptoms.
Avoid products containing fragrances, chemicals and preservatives which contain excessive fragrances, chemicals or preservatives that could irritate lips and cause lip rash that resembles chapped lips. Flavored lip products should also be avoided because their flavors could prompt users to lick more frequently and further dry out sensitive skin. Products with herbal or natural flavors could trigger allergies or cheilitis symptoms as well.
Use a natural lip moisturizer containing soothing shea butter for healthy, soft lips. Ointment-style products, like Vaseline white petroleum jelly (Vaseline), work best when dealing with extremely dry or cracked lips as their thicker barrier seal seal keeps more moisture locked in for longer. Look for products free from irritating substances and allergens such as shea butter, castor oil, niacinamide essential ceramides Centella Asiatica extract aloe vera that are proven to soothe irritation while aloe vera have all been known to reduce redness while exfoliants like retinol or exfoliants can worsen cheilitis further.
