The ninth month of the lunar calendar is considered to be late autumn.
It is said that autumn is the golden beauty season, but this year's beauty plan may be difficult to achieve. Fengmu The year luck with too much energy, the climate feels like a hair dryer. It doesn’t matter if the wind is strong, but the important thing is that the water vapor is blown away, which is so dry.
Traditional Chinese medicine says "wind overcomes dampness", and the same is true for people. Dry eyes, dry nose, dry mouth, dry skin, dry hair, everyone has deeply experienced this super strong autumn dryness. Especially the lips, the beauty season becomes the lip destruction season in minutes. The hair is dry, the skin is even bleeding, and you don’t even dare to laugh, for fear of ripping it out.
You should know that dryness is nothing. The most feared thing about lips is wind. In windy weather, lips will crack and peel when they are always moving, and applying lipstick won’t work. What's going on? What are the common lip-breaking habits in daily life? How to relieve dry lips from the inside out? Today we will talk about this topic.
Is the lips easy to dry, is it because of their delicateness?
You say your lips are tender, but they are not considered to be, at least they are not very smooth to the touch. The reason why it is easy to dry is that compared with other parts of the body, the skin and mucous membranes of the lips are very thin, only one-third of the thickness of the surrounding skin, which is very sensitive.
More importantly, the lips have almost no sebaceous glands and sweat pores, and they cannot secrete sebum moisture to moisturize themselves. Therefore, once the weather is dry or cold or the sun is exposed to the wind, it will easily dry and peel.
Compared with other parts, the lips also have another characteristic, especially the fear of wind. I wonder if everyone feels the same way. In the dry autumn and winter, although the lips are dehydrated, they will not crack. However, if they are blown outdoors by the wind, they may end up cracking and bleeding. There is a very vivid saying in traditional Chinese medicine for symptoms such as
, which is often related to spleen and stomach problems. According to the Inner Classic, "The spleen opens up in the mouth, and its beauty lies in the lips." The spleen and the mouth are connected, and the essence is poured into the lips. However, the spleen belongs to earth in the five elements and is naturally easily restrained by wind and wood. This is the reason why lips are afraid of wind, so there is a saying of "lip wind".
Lip damage daily: 3 things many people have done wrong!
To save "Desert Lips", please avoid the following 3 daily lip-destroying pits.
1. Licking lips
Do you have the habit of licking lips with your tongue often, especially when your lips are dry, and you will subconsciously lick it? But have you noticed it? The more you lick your lips, the more you get, the more you get! Licking your lips frequently will not only not make your lips moist, but will also backfire, aggravate dryness and chapping, and may even cause chemoitis .
This is not a scare. Commonly licking your lips with your tongue is like washing your hands frequently in dry weather. The evaporation of the water in the saliva will take away the already tense water, forming a vicious cycle of licking the more you get, and the more you lick it, the more you lick it, the more you lick it, the more you lick it, the more you lick it, the more you lick it, the more you lick it, the more you lick it, the more you dribble it. It may even cause pigmentation to occur in the skin at the corners of the mouth.
, and lips rarely contact saliva directly, and they have no resistance to various large amounts of digestive enzyme in saliva. After licking the lips, the digestive enzymes that remain after the saliva evaporates still stick to the lips to "digest the skin", which is completely self-harm and destroy the lips.
2, lip-torture
If you are used to licking your lips, it will take a minute to peel and scab. After the water in the saliva evaporates, the macromolecules in the digestive enzymes will remain on the lips, forming a scab together with the cells falling off the lips. If you get the skin together, you can’t help but tear it all, and if you don’t tear it, it’s uncomfortable, and it’s deadly.
On the one hand, the tissue under the scab has not grown intact yet, and forcibly tearing it off will form more scabs. What's more serious is that the skin on the lips is very thin and rich in blood vessels. Once the capillaries around the dead skin are torn and bleeding, it is easy to cause infection.
So, you really have to control your hands.
3. Use the wrong lipstick
Lipstick all look similar, but the ingredients are different.If you use the lipstick incorrectly, not only will it not work to moisturize the lips, but it may also become dryer the more you use it. Below are common ingredients for lipsticks. You can pay more attention to the instructions and judge whether they are suitable for them:
Recommended ingredients:
❶ Sodium hyaluronate, ceramide , squalane : moisturizing and repair
1 ❷ Castor oil, jojoba oil, Vaseline : water lock
❸ allantoin , vitamin E: relieve cleavage of lips sneezing
Not recommended ingredients:
❶ salicylic acid , phenol: Although it can remove dry skin of the lips, it can easily damage the lip stratum corneum, causing damage to the skin barrier of the lips and making it harder to retain moisture.
❷ Mineral oil, mineral wax : Although it has a water locking effect, long-term frequent use will reduce the secretion of oil on the skin glands around the lips, and at the same time reduce the lip's own moisturizing ability. Pay attention to the method of applying lipstick. Many friends are used to applying left and right, but this cannot achieve moisturizing effect. Because the lips are arranged vertically, applying it up and down makes it easier for the effective ingredient of the lipstick to moisturize the lips, thereby alleviating dryness.

In autumn, dry evil is the most likely to damage body fluids. There is dry evil outside invasion, and spleen deficiency cannot transport and distribute body fluids throughout the body. This is manifested in the lips that are itching, peeling, and cracking.
