Today we’re going to talk about chapped lips. What causes dry lips? How do you fix cracked lips? What is the worst thing you can do for chapped lips?

If you have chapped lips, the first thing you might do is reach for some lip balm or chapstick. But, that’s actually one of the worst things you can do for chapped lips.

This is because the ingredients in lip balm and chapstick often contain alcohol, solvents, or mineral oil that pulls oil out of the skin around your lips. This, of course, causes you to need more. So, there’s a cycle going on here. It’s the same with hand creams.

What causes chapped lips? — It’s a vitamin B2 deficiency.

0:22.0	So today I want to talk about chapped lips, okay?
0:25.0	One of the worst things you can do is actually taking a lip balm or a chapstick
0:31.0	because a lot of times the ingredients contain alcohol or some solvent or
0:37.2	mineral oil that pulls oil out of your skin around your lips and then you need more of it and then you put it on it
0:43.8	dries it out same thing with the hand creams as well and sometimes they put wax
0:47.8	in there so you're putting this wax on your lips and trying to create moisture
0:51.6	but let's talk about what's behind this situation.
0:55.0	It's a Vitamin B2 deficiency.
0:58.0	When you're low in riboflavin, okay, your lips will dry out. Eventually you can get cracked corners of your
1:07.7	mouth through here. Because B2 is an antimicrobial vitamin, you can then become infected with Candida and it can turn red.

1:37.0	this co-enzyme, this activator, for the protein that does that action
1:42.0	and then you end up with dry lips.
1:43.8	So what are the foods that have B2?
1:46.6	Eggs, leafy greens, nuts, dairy,
