Symptoms:
Chapped and cracked lips.

Cause:
Low humidity, sunlight, wind, and lack of oil on the lips. Here are several other factors you can control.

Treatment:
• Avoid licking your lips; it dries them out. Occasionally place a little vegetable oil on your lips.

• Drink enough water.

• Rub your finger alongside of your nose and then on your lips; that puts natural oils back in them.

• Finish your meal with a small amount of lecithin (which your brain, nerves, and blood vessels need anyway). When you do this, be sure and leave a small amount of it on your lips.

• Vitamin B2 and brewer's yeast both help cracked lips.

• Toothpaste dries the lips; instead use a toothbrush and baking soda.
