Though it may sound counterintuitive, gentle exfoliation is key when it comes to fixing chapped lips. According to Sadick, it stimulates the healing process. Exfoliate no more than twice a week.

For a lip scrub that won't be too harsh on lips, try Fresh Sugar Lip Polish, $24. Its brown sugar crystals slough off dead skin without irritating.

For a DIY lip scrub, massage your lips with a soft-bristled toothbrush, or make a paste out of brown sugar and honey or coconut oil.

To treat severely chapped lips, follow your lip exfoliation with Sadick's healing regimen:

Apply aloe vera twice a day to alleviate inflammation (we like Aubrey Pure Aloe Vera Gel, $12.95). Finish with a lip balm containing colloidal oatmeal and natural oils, such as Carmex Comfort Care Lip Balm, $1.99, which, says Sadick, will moisturize, protect and aid skin regeneration. Like Glossier's The Balm Dotcom, this Carmex balm is made with castor oil, beeswax and cupuacu butter.

"Any oil-based product that is non-irritating, such as coconut, emu and sunflower oil, can be excellent for chapped lips," says Swann. "Natural and synthetic oils function as a wet-barrier on skin, preventing desiccation and dehydration."

Reach for oil-infused balms like intensive moisturizing multitasker Kopari Coconut Balm, $32, or lip oil treatments like Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil, $44 -- a supremely hydrating and lip-plumping elixir.

Or, if you don't mind the mess, you can apply a dab of olive oil or coconut oil to chapped lips before bed.

"Apart from sealing in moisture, honey has a plethora of anti-inflammatory ingredients that soothe chapped lips," says Sadick. If you don't feel like slathering your lips with straight honey, give a honey-infused balm like Nuxe Reve De Miel Ultra-Nourishing Lip Balm, $15, a try. It's thick and nourishing, without any stickiness.

Just as cucumbers can hydrate and soothe puffy eyes, the spa-like treatment is an equally effective chapped lips remedy, says Sadick. Think of them as a sheet mask for your lips. Just press the cold, sliced cucumbers against your lips for a few minutes and voila: instant rejuvenation.

For more portable options, try cucumber-infused lip balms, like Neutrogena MoistureShine Lip Soother, $7.99, or ElizabethW Cucumber Lip Balm, $5.
