Don't let the nip in the air chap your lips! And no, you don't really need those chapsticks or greasy tinted lip balms to pamper your pout. Not only do they dry the skin further, but also strip them off their natural health and color. Trust the natural stuff hoarded in your kitchen shelves to bail you out of this beauty blue. Read on and get making your own DIY beauty balm at home.

• Moisturize your lips with shea butter every night before bedtime.

• After brushing your teeth, gently brush your lips as well. This will exfoliate them and get rid of chapping, and will also plump up your lips temporarily.

• A dab of honey on your lips will act as a humectant and draw moisture from the air into your skin, thereby keeping your lips soft, plump and kissable.
