Sometimes, the cause of peeling lips is the result of our own actions. Oftentimes, people bite their lips somewhat unconsciously when feeling anxious, bored, or stressed. If you notice your lips are peeling or cracked, try to figure out if you've been biting your lip. If you have, take measures to stop the habit. Try to figure out what situations lead to lip biting. Do you bite your lips when you're feeling anxious or engaging in certain social situations, like meeting new people or interacting with co-workers? Do you simply bite your lips when you're bored, like when watching TV or waiting for a bus? After identifying what situations lead to lip biting, engage in anxiety and boredom reducing behaviors that do not have a negative effect on your body. You could try deep breathing, relaxing your muscles, or what is called a competing response. This is a behavior you engage in that makes it impossible to bite your lip. You could, for example, chew gum to occupy your teeth with an alternative activity. If your lip peeling occurs after exposure to a certain food, cosmetic product, or season it may be allergy-related. Cosmetic products, lip balms, toothpastes, dyes, and fragrances often contain material which irritates the lips, eyes, and mouth. If you notice your lips peel after using a particular product, you might want to ditch that item and opt for an alternative. Even if you don't believe your peeled lips are a result of cosmetic products, it's best to ditch the lipstick and lip balm until peeled lips heal. Such products can carry germs and peeled lips are more susceptible to infection. Certain seasons, like early spring, can trigger allergic responses due to the increase of pollen in the air. If you're sensitive to seasonal change, try spending more time indoors or purchasing over-the-counter allergy medications. Allergen exposure can also lead to mouth breathing, which puts strain on the lips by exposing them to more air and debris. This can cause peeling and chapping. When our lips are dry and chapped, it's tempting to lick them and peel them to relieve symptoms. These habits do harm longterm, however, and can prolong the healing time for peeled lips. Do not pull at peeling skin. While it might be tempting, it does not actually provide relief. It usually causes pain and leads to bleeding, which increases the likelihood of infection and prolongs the healing process. Dryness is one of the most common causes of dry, peeled lips. Making hydration a habit can prevent lip peeling from occurring long-term. Drink plenty of fluids throughout the day. Roughly 1.5 liters of water are needed for the average person, but depending on your lifestyle that number may change. If you exercise frequently or have a physically demanding job, for example, you may need more. In general, you should drink enough water that you rarely feel thirsty. If your urine is colorless or light yellow, you are probably in the right range. Eating a balanced and healthy diet can help keep lips healthy. Food can provide about 20 percent of your total water intake. Watermelon and spinach are two examples of foods that are 90 percent or more water by weight. If the air in your home feels dry or if you live in a region prone to pollution and dry air, invest in a humidifier. This will keep the air moist in your home and make peeled lips less likely.

Look for a speedo made of 100% polyester or a polyester blend with spandex. It will be more chlorine resistant and long lasting. Some speedos are also made in a high UV rating fabric, making them more resistant to the sun if you plan to swim outdoors. Avoid speedos made of only spandex or lycra, as they tend to fade and get loose more quickly. Opt for a speedo that is fully lined so it is not transparent. Try on the speedo in the store before you buy it. You may need to wear it over underwear or use a disposable liner in the speedo. Make sure the speedo is not too tight or constricting. It should feel snug but the fabric should not dig into your skin. Walk around, squat, and sit in the speedo to ensure it is comfortable. If it feels comfortable on you, you will likely be more confident wearing it around. Go for a dark, neutral color like black, navy, or brown if you do not want to call too much attention to yourself when you are wearing the speedo. If you have a lighter skin tone, you may opt for a warm color like brown or a burnt orange. If you have a darker skin tone, a cooler color like navy or gray may be ideal. When in doubt, black is a good, neutral color for the speedo. It can also be more slimming and flattering.

One-sentence summary -- Get a speedo made of high quality, long lasting fabric. Choose a speedo that fits comfortably. Try a neutral color.

SmartShare is a program on your LG Smart TV that allows you to stream media files directly from your computer to your LG TV over your home network. This lets you watch movies or listen to music stored on your computer without having to transfer the files onto a flash drive or burn a DVD. SmartShare works best when both the computer and TV are connected to your network via Ethernet cable. Using SmartShare over Wi-Fi may result in hitches or low-quality playback. You'll need the TV turned on in order to allow it as a trusted item on your computer. In order to stream your computer's media files to your LG Smart TV, you'll need to connect both the TV and the computer to the same home network. Again, for the best streaming performance, both the TV and the computer should be connected to the router via Ethernet. Click the Windows logo in the bottom-left corner of the screen to do so. Before you can use SmartShare, you'll need to enable media streaming for your computer. This will search your computer for the Media Streaming Options menu item that's usually found in Control Panel.

Scroll through the available options until you find your LG TV, then check its box. If the box is already checked, you don't need to click the checkbox. It's at the bottom of the window. Your PC will now be able to stream content to your LG TV as long as it is connected to the same network. It's in the middle (or the lower-right side) of the remote. Scroll right or left until you find the SmartShare icon, which resembles four colored spheres (red, yellow, green, and blue, respectively), then select the icon with the cursor and press OK. It's a tab on the left side of the screen. You should see your PC's name on the "Devices" page; select it there. Once you open your PC's page, you can browse the video, photo, and music files on your PC. Select any such file to open it on your LG TV.
