Mostly people take extra good care of their facial and body skin with cleansers, toners and moisturisers filled with sun protection. But the lips suffer from the lack of attention, which should not be. Lip care is an essential part of good grooming because the lips play important functions in health and beauty
Causes for Dry Lips Licking your lips in an effort to put moisture back can worsen its dry condition. Saliva contains acids that dehydrate the skin especially when it evaporates. Biting, scrubbing and peeling on the chapped lips make it highly susceptible to cold sores, bacteria and infections. You will then end up with a health issue in addition to the dry lips. Environmental factors like cold air and high heat leads to dry lips because of dehydration in both instances. Tips For Healthy Lips the best tip for lip care is to avoid all of the abovementioned causes for dry lips the most important tip is to use the right lip care products, of which the lip balm is number one on the list. A lip balm is like a protective shield for the lips in that it provides a buffer between your delicate skin and the environment. When looking for a lip balm, I usually look for ingredients such as: • Castor seed oil • Shea butter • Sunflower oil • Squalene • Hyaluronic acid • Glycerin These ingredients form an occlusive barrier for the lips, which means that moisture is sealed in while also healing the cracks where infections start to set in. Lip care is convenient, easy and affordable. We don't have to visit a plastic surgeon for fillers that will make our mouths pout like a trout - lip balm will do the job of making our lips look healthy and sexy. |
