Q: Staying hydrated is a great way to keep your lips moist, smooth, and wrinkle-free. Drinking water also has many other benefits, including clear skin. If you notice your lips are looking more chapped than usual, drink some water or use Vaseline or another petroleum jelly. There are other ways to stay hydrated as well. Snack on water-rich foods, such as watermelon or cucumber. Sports drinks and coconut water are also great options. Avoid drinking from bottles, when possible, as this can cause fine wrinkles around your mouth. Bottles with a nozzle-tip should be fine, however. The easiest way to do this would be to cover your mouth with a scarf. If it is too warm for that, or if you simply don't like wearing scarves, consider using some lip balm or petroleum jelly (i.e.: Vaseline) instead. Acidic foods include things like oranges, kiwi, orange juice, and lemonade. Not only can these foods sting your lips, but they can make any current flaking worse. Salty foods may also dry out your lips because of the fine, salty coating they leave on your lips. This does not mean that you have to give these foods up forever; once the flaking stops, you can try slowly reintroducing them into your diet. The more you mess with your lips, the drier and chapped they will become. Biting your lips too often can scrape away the delicate skin, leaving it chapped. Saliva, although moist, actually dries out your lips, especially if you applied lip balm. If you like to wear flavored lip balm, switch to an unflavored one so you won't be tempted to lick your lips. You can also apply petroleum jelly instead. It doesn't taste good and may help you break the habit of licking your lips. It is very tempting to pick at the dry, flaky skin, but this will only make things worse by slowing down the healing process. Instead, apply a natural, hydrating lip balm instead. Make sure that you use one that is labeled for chapped lips.
A: Drink 8 glasses (1.9 liters) of water daily. Protect your lips during cold or windy weather. Cut back on acidic and salty foods. Break the habit of biting or licking your lips. Do not pick at your lips if they are chapped.

Q: Especially in the winter, a colorful scarf can provide a cute and colorful addition to your uniform or dress code. Wear cute cardigans, or other cold weather clothing items, with some detailing that attracts attention. You can also sport unique jackets that express your sense of style in the colder months. Dress code or no dress code, you can use accessories to express your individuality and style. Often belts have to be leather and the buckle size is restricted, but there may not be color guidelines or belt buckle type guidelines. Get bright colors or patterns that attract attention. Did your mom already buy you a drab brown belt? Glue glitter on the buckle or otherwise embellish it. If you can't add anything or don't want to, you can just use a black belt with a vintage buckle. If there aren't any jewelry restrictions in the dress code, you can wear bracelets, necklaces, earrings, or rings that stand out and make you feel special. Adding funky and bold jewelry will make you stand out without pushing the clothing guidelines. Then you can look really original. This is a great way to add a flare of individualism to a dress code without too much pushback from the administration. For guys, try wearing a cool chunky watch or a fun necklace. You might also consider adding interesting buttons or pins to your jackets or backpacks. A great way to spice up your personal style is by wearing glasses that help you express your individual personality. Consider getting colorful frames, big boxy frames, uniquely shaped frames, or even frames with a pattern on them. This option is perfect for both boys and girls to add a little flair to their wardrobe. You can always express your individualism and creativity through the bag you choose to carry. School dress codes rarely have restrictions placed on what kinds of backpacks and bags students can use. Choose one that expresses your personality and customize it however you want. If there are limits even for bags you can always put pins and such onto it for decoration and flare. Many dress codes provide few restrictions on hair. While you probably can't dye your hair crazy colors, you can put bows or headbands of different bright colors, as well as pigtails, braids, or anything colorful or unique that the dress code doesn't restrict. Your hair doesn't have to be boring! Look online for hair tutorials and ideas. Crazy styles can be fun, and there is rarely a rule that says you can't.
