Flaky lips are painful and unattractive. Here's how to get back that perfect pout.

Apply your favorite lip balm and rub lips together. Using a dry toothbrush, brush lips gently in circular motions until the flakes have dislodged. Wipe lips clean and rub in more lip balm. Repeat daily and skip the lipstick until your pout returns to normal. If you really can't live without a little colour on your lips, try using a tinted lip balm.
