treat your lips the same way you would treat the rest of the skin on your face! put a small amount of moisturizer on em after washing. i like to use something super gentle like an eye cream but whatever you have on hand will work.
THEN, before you go out, apply the lip balm of your choice. the balm is meant to be a protective layer between your skin and the dry air. if you put lip balm on top of already dry lips it's pretty much useless bc the skin can't absorb it, which sometimes makes the problem worse.
ok stay soft

Being ashy is not fun and it's also terrible for your skin. As someone who suffers from dry skin in the winter, I recommend lathering some shea butter on your face before stepping out of the house. This can be applied to your hands as well. A+D Ointment and Vaseline are also good facial products to keep your skin moisturized. Another option for your hands is Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion. This is an effective and quicker option compared to the shea butter. Sometimes the butter takes time to work into the skin. I personally make time to moisturize my hands with both. I find this lasts longer. As for lips, some good options include Chapstick brand Original Chapstick, Blistex, Aquaphor, or Fenty Skin Lux Balm.

Fellas, invest in some chapstick. Don’t be out here with cracked lips. Burt’s bees is the best but any kind will do. Use it after you brush your teeth morning and night. That’s all you really need, unless you’re out skiing or something. Your lips will thank you and so will your lovers.

this is the good stuff right here, aquaphor healing balm stick, it’s literally just a thick chapstick that’s for your hands. i was sick and tired of wanting to heal my skin and having to rub all this goop and cream into my hands (getting my fingertips all goopy in the process). this chapstick thing is a LIFESAVER it avoids weird fingertip texture with cream AND it’s incredibly easy to apply to a smaller area or your entire hand!! BUY THIS

chopping up a ton of stuff while drinking red wine and listening to your upsetting podcast of choice and making a big pasta that you live on for days after. also letting yourself take the time to chill out and cook something when everything else feels super overwhelming ... just a small clemency

something cool about Pittsburgh is that pierogis are a staple food. my deli keeps them in the reach in at eye level and so I always end up buying a pack of them frozen. today i was tired and didn't want to cook but also the idea of Uber Eats-ing something was really depressing so i softened some scallions and green garlic in my wok and then let the pierogis brown on either side for like 6 minutes in the hot oil. then i made a dipping sauce with a scoop of creme fraiche and kewpie and a ton of chopped up herbs. when the rogis were done i sauteed several handfuls of spinach in the wok. don't feel bad about calories or carbs because you are also eating spinach ok. make a lazy pierogi dinner today
