1. Scrub.
Mix 1 teaspoon each of brown sugar and olive oil, or try Tarte Maracuja Lip Exfoliant ($16, ulta.com). To smooth, rub lip scrub on with a finger, in a circular motion, for 30 seconds. Remove with a warm cloth.

Spread on a soothing lip mask — combine 1 teaspoon of yogurt with 1/2 teaspoon of honey, or try Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask ($26, sephora.com). Leave on for 5 minutes. Wipe off with a cloth.

Pack in moisture with a layer of a heavy lip treatment like Good Housekeeping Seal holder Vaseline Lip Therapy Crème Brûlée ($2, amazon.com) or a swipe them with a natural oil such as coconut oil.
