Protecting Your Lips from the Cold. 1  1. Stay inside on cold, dry days when possible. Exposing your lips to the harsh winter weather may cause chapping. 2  2. Wear something over your face.

In fact, lips have almost no melanin, the natural pigment in skin that helps screen out the sun's harmful rays. As a result, lips rarely tan, but they can easily burn.
