Various factors influence in drying up the lips. Let’s see what are those reasons and get ready to take precautions and preventive methods.

WEATHER

Different changes occur in our bodies based on changing weather conditions. Winter is widely known for causing dryness. As soon as dryness approaches, the skin gets scarce of its natural oil production.

Apart from the skin of other regions, it is the skin of the lips that get affected easily. Lips are highly vulnerable to dryness and can get chapped easily. This can be prevented by using the apt lip balm or moisturizer.

DEHYDRATION

Scarcity or lack of water content in the body affects the skin as well. In fact, it is the skin that shows symptoms first. Dryness, dullness, and scaling of the skin are the effects of limited water intake. Lips too are vulnerable to this condition.

Keeping the body hydrated is very important in keeping the lips healthy and free from dryness.

LICKING THE LIPS

People tend to lick their lips for temporarily moistening their lips. This often happens involuntarily and unintentionally. This process might intend to moistening the lips, but it actually does the opposite. Saliva makes the lips drier again and eventually causes chapping and cracks.

The best wat to avoid this is to prevent yourselves from form licking the lips and depending on a lip balm or moisturizer whenever necessary.

CHEMICALS

Most of the beauty products available today contain chemicals and some of them are known to cause damages eventually on regular or improper usage. Ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide in the beauty products are likely to cause dryness.

Smoking and certain medication also tend to increase the dryness of lips. Keep an eye on the products you use and try replacing them with natural or mild products.

SUN DAMAGE

As we know, overexposure to the sun can cause serious damages to the skin. Lips get dried easily underexposed sun.

Be prepared with sunscreen products whenever you go out and face the sun. Stay out of the sun and be in cool places as much as you can.

To add to the light base that you have created, add a hint of bronzer in the right spots (where light hits your face) to add some more dimension, warmth, and sheen to your skin.
