3 Honey-Based Remedies For Monsoon Lips: Bid Adieu To Cracked, Chapped Lips

During the rainy season, weather changes can lead to many skin conditions. Therefore, your skincare routine should be modified to avoid the adverse effects of seasonal changes on your skin, which also applies to your lips.

As a result of the humid weather on rainy days, our skin's barrier function is affected, which leads to an increase in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL), which leads to dry skin. Humidity often causes lips to appear pale, which requires special attention.

DIY Honey-Based Lip Scrubs

Honey can help moisturise your lips and prevent cracked lips from becoming infected. Additionally, it is a mild exfoliator that can remove dry, dead skin from your lips. Use a cotton swab or your fingers to apply organic honey to your lips throughout the day. Here are three honey-based remedies for monsoon lips.
