    There are two effective methods. One is making a simple scrub with oil and sugar and rubbing it gently or the lips. The other is to use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently slough off dead skin.

    Drink plenty of water and apply a thin layer of coconut oil before going to bed at night. You should also wear a lip balm during the day if they feel dry. If you'll be out in the sun, select one with SPF.

    Chapped lips are dry. To fix the problem you'll need to hydrate your lips with an emollient product that helps trap your natural moisture. You can also exfoliate gently with a soft-bristle toothbrush to remove the flaking skin.

    Unfortunately, golden syrup is not a substitute for honey. This is because golden syrup doesn't have the same moisturizing properties as honey.

    For most people, it takes a few weeks to see results. To keep your soft lips, you'll need to continue drinking plenty of water and eating well. However, you likely won't need to use lip balm as much.

    How can a boy get soft lips?

    Follow the same instructions, they're not gender-specific and lips don't know the difference. Just skip whatever doesn't fit with your lifestyle, perhaps like colored lipstick.
  • Question
    Will this technique moisturize my lips after one week?

  • Question
    How can I get soft and moist lips when they're dry?

    How can I prevent licking my lips?

    Try wearing a bad-tasting lip balm, or distract yourself (like chewing gum). You should also stay hydrated, to prevent dryness. Drinking plenty of water helps.
  • Question
    If I follow these for a few days and then stop, will my lips become rough again?
    Community Answer
    That's what typically happens, because your lips get used to the chapstick being applied 24/7. If you skip for like a day, that's ok, but if you forget about doing this or you don't have time to do this, you can just apply chapstick and your lips will be just fine.

    How can I get slimmer lips?

    Dark lipstick can make your lips look slimmer. If you wanted something more intense, you could use lip liner to draw a slightly slimmer lip on top of your lip. Fill it in and apply foundation on the part of your lip that you don't want to show.
  • Question
