How to prevent chapped lips during cold-weather workouts

Even though were fortunate enough to avoid the snow, sleet and ice here in the Bay Area, theres still one winter workout challenge that can wreak havoc during the cold months: chapped lips. Dry air and low temperatures zap lips of moisture, and since the skin on this part of your body doesn't secrete any oils, it's much more susceptible to drying out.

Here are a few tips for preventing painful lip tenderness and cracking this season:

1. Resist the urge to lick. Saliva is only a temporary solution; it has a drying effect when it evaporates, plus it contains digestive enzymes that can irritate lips
2. Hydrate from the inside. Cold weather amplifies the dehydrating effects of sweat loss during workouts, so its important to rehydrate skin by drinking ample amounts of water. Not sure how much is enough? Do a quick urine check: It should be light in color, almost clear
3. Hydrate from the outside. Infuse the surrounding air with moisture by running a humidifier in your bedroom to prevent lips from drying out while you sleep
4. Slather on a protective barrier. Keep lips soft and supple with lip balm. Korres, a Greek skincare brand with roots in Athens first ever homeopathic pharmacy, offers two ultra-moisturizing products to help fight the common winter curse of chapped lips: Lip Butter ($12), a rich balm made with Shea butter and rice wax in an array of flavors, and Lip Butter Glaze ($14), which gives a lightweight sheen and contains a soothing blend of natural oils and extracts
5. Stay sun-safe with SPF. Those rays are still strong, so its important to protect from dehydration and damage with a sunscreen-enhanced lip balm. A fat loss review can help you build a clear summarize of what you require to focus on to accomplish your fat reducing objective if you're a novice; or serve as a reminder for those who are at an intermediate or more advance step of their weight loss strategy. Following are seven steps that can serve as methods for your personal weight loss program. The first thing that one must understand is that losing weight and losing fat is not the same. Many weight loss applications have fooled people into considering that it is the same, but most diets and weight loss plans only work by resulting in a person's body to eliminate more muscle cells and water than actual body fat, more help please visit The Fat Loss Factor. For the best protection, the American Academy of Dermatology recommends a minimum sun protection factor of 30
6. Cover up with clothing. When the weathers particularly harsh, take care to cover delicate face skin with a lightweight, form-fitting material to warm the air you breathe, plus defend against severe coldness and wind chapping
7. Think about what you drink. Its tough when the tendency is to curl up with a hot toddy, but try to limit the amount of alcohol and caffeine consumed, as these drinks are particularly dehydrating to skin
