Many people are
Lips are prone to dryness and skin
Some people are even severe enough to crack and bleeding
Today we will talk about the tips for lip protection
Why do lips become skinny in autumn?
Good lips, why do you get skinny in autumn?
This is because lip skin is thinner , only 1/3 of the thickness of the body's skin. At the same time, it has almost no sebaceous glands and sweat pores openings, and cannot secrete sebum or moisture to moisturize itself. Therefore, the lips are particularly sensitive to dry air, strong winds, low temperatures and other environments. In autumn and winter, dryness and skin are prone to occur.
In addition, due to the rich distribution of capillaries in the lip area, if cracks appear, it is easy to damage the capillaries and bleeding.
"Dry skinny" lips always make people unable to help licking, but they find that the more they lick, the more they get, the more they lick it?
This is because lips rarely contact saliva directly, and they have no resistance to the various digestive enzymes and water in saliva. They often use their tongue to lick their lips, just like washing hands frequently with water in dry weather. The evaporation of the water in saliva will take away the already nervous water, forming a vicious cycle of licking the more they drip, and the more they lick, the more they lick, the more they dribble .
So, stop licking your lips! licking the lips and the skin around the mouth frequently will cause erythema, desquamation and dryness to worsen, causing or aggravate cheilitis .
Here I would like to remind you that In addition to dryness and seasonal changes, can cause cleavage of the lips and cleavage of the lips, and other diseases such as actinic chewingitis, lichen planus of the lips and discoid lupus erythematosus can also cause chapped lips and desquamation. It is particularly easy to ignore and miss diagnosis in daily life, so you need to be vigilant. If you often experience cleft lips of unknown reasons, it is best to seek medical treatment in time.
There are some tips for applying lip balm
Whenever your lips are peeling and chapped, many people think about applying some lip balm as soon as possible.
Lip balm can relieve it, but the more the better! Although glycerol in lipstick has a certain water absorption effect, it can absorb water molecules in the air and make the skin moisturize.
However, it is precisely because of its characteristics that if glycerin products are used only in the dryer seasons, it will absorb moisture from the skin, making the skin drier and even dehydrated.
So, even in the dry season, do not use lipstick too frequently, usually 3-5 times.
In addition, when choosing a lip balm, you must carefully look at the ingredients list. Some products contain chemical ingredients that will irritate the lips; choose lip products that are irritating, have good moisturizing effects and reliable ingredients.
You can clean your lips before going to bed, apply it with a wet and hot towel, and then apply it vertically according to the rules of the lip lines. This will moisturize all night until the next morning, and the lips will not dry easily.
Do these things well in daily life, so that lips
stay away from dryness!

Timely replenish sufficient moisture , which is of great help to balance human functions and can effectively prevent cleft lips. When choosing lip products correctly, be careful not to use them frequently. It is generally recommended to use them about 3 times a day.
2. Conditioning diet
You can eat more eggs, dried fruits, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits in daily life. These foods are rich in vitamin C and vitamin B2, which can nourish lips. People with allergic constitution can use cotton swabs to apply sesame oil or honey to their lips, which can play a good moisturizing effect.
3. Reduce external stimulation
Try to avoid external stimulation such as wind and sun exposure. Wear a mask when going out to reduce evaporation of moisture on lips.
