When the cold hits, your lips are the first to feel it. We all see ourselves running for a lip balm! With a few easy lip care routines, you can keep your lips soft, nourished, and plump all season long. In this blog, we suggest some super easy, very effective tips for your lip care routine this winter.
Why do lips become dry in winter?
Unlike the rest of the body, your lips do not possess any moisture or oil-secreting glands. The outer layer of the lip is super soft and always exposed to the environment - be it winter, summer, or rain. The result? Cracked, troubled, painful lips during winter.
Tips to protect lips during winter
As the most exposed part of you during winter, your lips need the TLC proactively during these temperature dips. Incorporate these simple tips into your daily routine and experience the change by yourself.

Natural nourishment with homemade ghee: Homemade ghee is an Ayurvedic staple for lip care. Rich in natural fatty acids, it promotes the healing of cracked lips, moisturizes and nourishes lips, and soothes irritated lips with its anti-inflammatory properties. Carry a small jar of ghee in your bag and apply it whenever your lips feel dry. It's your very own lip balm.

Moisturize with Virgin Coconut Oil: Kerala Ayurveda’s Virgin Coconut Oil isn’t just a skincare product—it’s a winter must-have. Made by extracting the oil from milk and water using cold centrifugation, our Virgin Coconut Oil is unbleached, cold-pressed, and 100 % natural.
Rich in medium-chain fatty acids and lauric acids, the oil penetrates the outer layer of your skin to hydrate, soften, and prevent moisture loss from your skin. Vitamin E and polyphenols contribute to the anti-inflammatory effects, thus reducing inflammation and protecting skin from aging. Thus, Virgin Coconut Oil can be your ultimate friend for your lips and skin throughout the year.
- Hydration is key: Don’t let the cold fool you—your body needs hydration even in winter. Drink at least eight glasses of water daily and add warm herbal teas of your choice to your routine for a comforting twist. Always drink warm or room-temperature water slowly and in small sips to support digestion. Hydration helps maintain the skin’s barrier function, preventing dryness and chapping.
This winter, give your lips the love they deserve. By incorporating natural remedies like ghee and Virgin Coconut Oil, along with staying hydrated, you can keep your lips soft and healthy all season.
