Fellas, invest in some chapstick. Don’t be out here with cracked lips. Burt’s bees is the best but any kind will do. Use it after you brush your teeth morning and night. That’s all you really need, unless you’re out skiing or something. Your lips will thank you and so will your lovers.

treat your lips the same way you would treat the rest of the skin on your face! put a small amount of moisturizer on em after washing. i like to use something super gentle like an eye cream but whatever you have on hand will work.
THEN, before you go out, apply the lip balm of your choice. the balm is meant to be a protective layer between your skin and the dry air. if you put lip balm on top of already dry lips it's pretty much useless bc the skin can't absorb it, which sometimes makes the problem worse.
ok stay soft

this is the good stuff right here, aquaphor healing balm stick, it’s literally just a thick chapstick that’s for your hands. i was sick and tired of wanting to heal my skin and having to rub all this goop and cream into my hands (getting my fingertips all goopy in the process). this chapstick thing is a LIFESAVER it avoids weird fingertip texture with cream AND it’s incredibly easy to apply to a smaller area or your entire hand!! BUY THIS

Being ashy is not fun and it's also terrible for your skin. As someone who suffers from dry skin in the winter, I recommend lathering some shea butter on your face before stepping out of the house. This can be applied to your hands as well. A+D Ointment and Vaseline are also good facial products to keep your skin moisturized. Another option for your hands is Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Lotion. This is an effective and quicker option compared to the shea butter. Sometimes the butter takes time to work into the skin. I personally make time to moisturize my hands with both. I find this lasts longer. As for lips, some good options include Chapstick brand Original Chapstick, Blistex, Aquaphor, or Fenty Skin Lux Balm.

My go to for when I need to cook something but don’t want to cook anything. Fry up a diced onion in a pot till it starts to brown. Toss in a cup of lentils and add 3.5 cups of water. Season with a decent amount of salt, bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 20. Then stir in 1/3 cup of rice, cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the rice is cooked, the lentils are very tender and the whole thing has a porridge consistency, another 20-25 (but start looking out for doneness after 15). The lentils might stick at the bottom toward the end but that’s fine; let it sit for a few minutes when it’s done cooking then scrape and stir in the lentils at the bottom. adjust salt, season with pepper and if you want, cumin, and stir in about 1/4 cup of good olive oil. There’s dinner. She’s done in an hour and most of it is hands off. Deceptively tasty and satisfying for how simple it is.
