What causes chapped lips?

The main reasons for chapped lips include: 1. Drinking too little water and insufficient body fluids can cause chapped lips. 2. Lack of vitamin nutrients, especially B vitamins, leads to chapped lips. 3. Frequently having the bad habit of licking your lips can also cause chapped lips. 4. Eating too much hot pot, Malatang and other spicy and irritating foods can cause lips to suddenly become chapped.

Chapped mouth skin may be caused by drinking too little water, sweating too much, and a dry environment, or it may be caused by a lack of vitamins and trace elements in the body. Properly increase water intake, apply lip balm, and eat more fresh vegetables.

The following common reasons why lips are always chapped and flaky:

First, it is caused by dry skin. This condition is more common in winter, when the climate is cold and the air is dry. The skin of the lips is easily dehydrated when exposed to a dry and cold environment for a long time, leading to dryness and peeling. If you don't pay attention to drinking water or applying moisturizer at this time, or eating irritating and spicy food, this situation will become more serious.

Second, allergic cheilitis. Allergic cheilitis is a disease caused by the skin of the lips coming into contact with substances that cause allergic reactions. Common causes include allergic reactions caused by contact with toothpaste, cosmetics, lipstick, etc. It may also be related to eating some irritating foods, such as mango, durian, etc.

Third, it is caused by bad habits. For example, some people like to lick their lips. This licking action can also cause dryness and peeling of the skin of the lips.
