3. Use green tea bags.
While not a cure, green tea can comfort chapped, irritated lips. Green tea contains antioxidants and natural anti-inflammatories—simply steep a green tea bag in hot water for a few minutes. Remove the tea bag and apply it to lips like a warm compress for several minutes. The soothing properties of green tea will help tone down the burning sensation of dry lips. After removing the tea bag, lips feel calmer and more comfortable. Harness the soothing power of green tea to tame even the most chapped, inflamed lips.
