If you have begun to feel your lips are dry, you can use a clean cotton swab to apply some vegetable oil or honey that is available at home on your lips. However, diabetic patients should avoid applying honey. Honey can well moisturize and nourish the skin, and can also inhibit the growth of bacteria and avoid skin breakage and infection.

2. Apply eye ointment

Applying eye ointment is better than lip balm. Eye ointment can also be used to prevent dry lips in autumn and winter. The main ingredient of many lip balms on the market is petroleum jelly, and erythromycin eye ointment also contains a large amount of petroleum jelly, which can have the same effect as lip balm. Moreover, erythromycin can also reduce inflammation and sterilize. For those with chapped, cracked, and bleeding lips, erythromycin is more effective than lip balm, and the price is more affordable.
