cracked lips

To treat cracked lips, it's important to choose the right lip balm with suitable ingredients. Dermatologists recommend avoiding certain ingredients that can worsen the condition, such as camphor, eucalyptus, menthol, and fragrances. Instead, look for lip balms containing ingredients like petrolatum (petroleum jelly), mineral oil, lanolin, honey, beeswax, shea butter, glycerin, castor seed oil, and sun-protective ingredients such as titanium oxide or zinc oxide. It's also essential to use products that are fragrance- free and hypoallergenic. Additionally, lip balms with SPF 30 or higher can help protect the lips from the sun, which is important even in the winter. Avoid lip products that contain damaging ingredients like paraffin, dyes, and phenol, and opt for brands with natural and organic ingredients
