Winters make our skin and lips dry and dull and the most annoying thing is that the lips get cranky and sometimes may even bleed. The reason behind this is that during winters the air gets dry and our lips gets covered with dry and peeling dead skin which may become worse if proper attention is not given.
Rather than purchasing lip balms from market you can make your own at home which is very easy to make and also very economical.
