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. Covering up the bottom half of your face will help to prevent moisture loss and chapping. 3  3. Breathe through your nose.
The skin of the lip forms the border between the exterior skin of the face, and the interior mucous membrane of the inside of the mouth. The lip skin is not hairy and does not have sweat glands. Therefore it does not have the usual protection layer of sweat and body oils which keep the skin smooth, inhibit pathogens, and regulate warmth.
