What to do if pregnant women have chapped lips in winter

1. Apply natural vitamin E

Cut a capsule of natural vitamin E and apply it on your lips before going to bed to protect your lips from dryness and cracking the next day.

2. Apply honey

Honey has a strong moisturizing and skin-rejuvenating effect and is very suitable for moisturizing and protecting the lips. When your lips feel dry, apply honey lightly on them and leave it on for 20 minutes; or apply a sufficient amount of honey on your lips first, then cut a piece of plastic wrap according to the size of your lips and cover them with it, keep it on for 4 minutes and then wash it off.

3. Apply olive oil

Olive oil can be used before going to bed and has a good moisturizing effect. However, you must wait for a while, about 20 minutes, until your lips absorb the nutrients before going to bed, otherwise it will easily get on the pillow. In addition to olive oil, sesame oil and camellia oil are also acceptable.

4. Apply edible lipstick

The so-called "edible" lipstick is just a metaphor, referring to the fact that the safety level meets food-grade standards and the ingredients are food. Currently, some skin care products specifically for pregnant women are made from ingredients such as soybeans and rice. This "edible" lipstick is mainly made from ingredients extracted from natural foods. It is safe and gentle, and does not contain any pigments, heavy metals, mineral oils or other ingredients that may harm the health of the fetus. When pregnant women have dry lips, they can apply "edible" lipstick anytime and anywhere, which is safe and convenient.

5. Apply baby lip balm

Skin care products that are suitable for babies can usually be used by pregnant women, so pregnant mothers can choose lipsticks for babies. For example, Pigeon’s baby lip balm, the main ingredients are olive oil, castor oil, edible wax base, oily ingredients, etc. Helps prevent and improve dry and cracked lip skin and keep it moisturized.

6. Apply lip balm for pregnant women

Pregnant women should of course use special lipstick for pregnant women. For example, Jivi Baby VB Folic Acid Rosy Lip Gloss is designed for pregnant women. This lipstick has a gentle formula that can deeply moisturize, instantly soothe dry, cracked, and pale lips, and awaken skin vitality. It is also rich in folic acid and will not cause allergic reactions, making it very suitable for pregnant women.

Note: When a pregnant mother's lips are dry and flaky, do not use your hands to tear off the dry skin on your lips, as this may tear your lips. The correct way is to apply a hot towel for 3-5 minutes, and then use a soft brush to brush off the dead skin on your lips. In addition, pregnant mothers should not lick their lips with their tongue, because saliva contains starch and other substances. After the water evaporates, the starch will absorb the moisture in the lips, making the lips more dry and cracked.

What to eat when pregnant women have dry and cracked lips in winter

1. Eat more foods rich in riboflavin

Pregnant mothers can relieve chapped lips by eating more foods rich in riboflavin, such as sports foods such as liver, kidney, heart, milk and eggs; beans such as green beans and edamame; fresh vegetables such as Chinese mustard, rapeseed, water spinach, spinach, radish leaves, amaranth, green garlic, etc.

2. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A

Adding some foods containing vitamin A to your daily diet, such as sweet potatoes, leeks, carrots, eggs, pork liver, etc., can enhance the resistance of local skin and prevent cracks.

3. Eat more foods rich in vitamin B

You can also eat more foods rich in vitamin B. The intake of vitamin B is extremely useful for treating chapped lips, because some chapped lips are caused by a lack of vitamins in the body.

That’s all we have to say about chapped lips in pregnant women. This can be treated through diet.
