What causes dry lips?

Dry lips are a very common condition in our daily life, and this condition has a great impact on us. When the lips are very dry, we will always lick our lips involuntarily, and dry lips can easily cause dead skin on the lips. It is easy to cause lips to crack when eating, drinking water or talking, which will cause pain and bleeding. In order to treat this condition, we need to understand its cause. Here we will introduce the causes of dry lips.

Causes of dry lips:

1. Dry weather and lack of moisture can cause chapped lips, which manifests itself as the accumulation of dead skin on our lips or corners of the mouth.

2. The body lacks vitamins. When we find that the corners of our mouth are dry and cracked, and there are white secretions at the corners of our mouth, it means that our body lacks vitamins, so we must pay attention to vitamin supplementation. In daily life, if we eat less or even no fresh vegetables, our body's insufficient intake of vitamin B2 and vitamin A can also cause chapped lips.

3. Cheilitis. If you often feel chapped lips, it may be caused by vitamin B2 deficiency and indigestion. It may also be chronic cheilitis. It is recommended to seek professional diagnosis from a doctor. Cheilitis mostly occurs in young people due to some bad habits, such as licking or biting lips, etc., which will aggravate the pain, cause bleeding and infection of lips, make the wound difficult to heal, and cause repeated attacks, resulting in a vicious cycle. After a few days of delay, it will develop into chronic cheilitis.

4. Oral diseases can also cause chapped lips, so you should pay attention to oral hygiene. If your lips become cracked, scabbed and do not heal for a long time, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

5. Physical factors: people who are allergic to certain cosmetics or sunlight, people whose emotions are easily fluctuating and who get easily irritated, people who smoke and drink too much or eat spicy food, etc., can easily cause chapped lips.

Second, lip care:

1. Day care: During the day, lips, like facial skin, are subject to the stress of pollution, dryness, and sun exposure. Therefore, lips also need moisturizing, isolation, and sun protection to fight against the "persecution" of external pressure! Therefore, it is best to choose lip care products that are light, non-sticky, and have a certain sun protection factor.

2. Night care: Resting at night and relaxing your body and mind is a good time to repair and moisturize your lips. Compared to daytime, lip balm needs to double the hydration and moisturizing effects at night. It needs to have deep effects such as repair, anti-oxidation, and lip wrinkle removal, and can also be used as a lip mask. For dry, chapped lips, applying it overnight can often restore moisture to the lips.

3. Periodic care: Just like our facial skin, lips also need regular care, including thorough cleaning, removal of aging cuticles, application of lip masks, etc.
