What to do if your lips are dry and flaky

Many people often feel that their mouths are particularly dry. In fact, sometimes dry mouth is caused by thirst, and sometimes it has a lot to do with the season. For example, in spring and autumn, because the wind is strong, it is particularly easy to get chapped lips. When your lips are dry, you must not lick them with your tongue, because the more you lick, the drier they will become. So what should you do if your lips are dry and chapped?

1 Most of the reasons for dry and chapped lips are caused by dry weather and lack of water in the lips, so everyone should drink more water in normal times, especially the first glass of water after getting up in the morning is very important. It can not only replenish the water lost by the body, but also make the lips moisturized, which is very good.

2 In addition, in spring and autumn, the weather is dry and windy, and the moisture of the lips is easily lost, so you should apply lip balm with moisturizing and locking functions in time. It can not only effectively moisturize the lips, but also add a touch of bright color to the face and add points to beauty.

3 In daily life, we should eat more vegetables and fruits that are rich in water and various vitamins and trace elements, such as pears, cucumbers, tomatoes, kiwis, apples, lettuce, etc., which can effectively replenish the body's lost water and change the situation of dry and dehydrated lips.

Precautions

Dry and flaky lips are a common phenomenon, which is mostly caused by dry weather and lack of water, so hydration is the key. In addition to drinking plenty of water, you should also eat more fruits and vegetables that are rich in water and vitamins.

Get rid of these four bad habits

1. Apply lip balm before applying lipstick or lip gloss: Usually the oils in lipstick or lip gloss are mostly composed of synthetic esters. Frequent use will make the lip skin drier. Before use, be sure to apply lip balm that has the effect of repairing and moisturizing the lips.

2. Not carrying lip care products with you: Routine habits such as drinking water, eating, and wiping your lips with a napkin will actually cause the skin on your lips to become dry. Don’t forget to carry lip balm with you to replenish your lips with appropriate amounts of oil anytime and anywhere to avoid your lips being dry at any time.

3. Like to tear off the dead skin on the lips with hands or lips: Direct "biting" will cause wounds and make the lips more "injured". You can use a toothbrush with a little lip balm or Vaseline to brush it directly on the peeling lips, which will help to fall off the dead skin. If you cannot remove all the dead skin at once, do not remove it forcibly. As long as you keep your lips moisturized, the condition will gradually improve.

4. Purse your lips: When your lips feel dry, do not keep licking them with your tongue, because the saliva contains proteolytic enzymes, which will make the lip skin drier and even cause cracks. You should apply lip balm at any time.
