Lip Salvation

Having forgotten to pack lip salve for a New Year skiing trip, I thought it was the perfect time to try the no lip salve approach that my friend swears by. By the third day my lips felt so chapped I thought there was no way back, but, to my surprise, from the next day onwards they kept improving until they were completely chap free.

My top tips for chap free lips:


  1. Don’t panic if your lips start to feel chapped; relax, it is a few days before they will look chapped, so go with it.

  2. Don’t bite or lick them; wetness will just make them worse.

  3. Resist applying lip salve; once you do, your lips will start to rely on it and you’ll get yourself into an unnecessary and costly routine that will lead to you/your partner/Kate Perry ingesting god knows what.
