[header] How to stop picking your lips [title] Work on conditioning your lips instead of picking. [step] Do you absentmindedly pick away the dead skin that builds up on your lips? When you feel a bit of skin flaking off, it may be impossible to resist picking it. However, picking your lips doesn't actually make them less dry or healthier. 
Instead of picking the skin off, try putting that energy into making your lips healthier. The result will be supple, dry-skin-free lips that look great, rather than rough-looking lips that bleed where you pick them.
