    Mix brown sugar, aloe vera gel, cinnamon powder, and 2 drops of vitamin E oil and scrub your lips in a circular motion. The sugar acts as a scrub, the aloe vera brightens the skin, the cinnamon powder makes your lips fuller, and the vitamin E oil provides essential nutrients.

    Certainly. Oil-based heavy creams are great for this purpose. Using Vaseline or brands such as Aquaphor before bed can heal chapped lips and help lips heal, as well as stay moisturized.
