Why are lips dry? How to maintain dry lips?
Why are lips dry?
1, lick your lips with your tongue
Once the lips are dry and desquamate, many people will unconsciously want to "moisten" their lips with their tongues, but the result is often counterproductive, which makes the moisture of the lips evaporate faster and the symptoms of dry lips worsen. Moreover, many people do not pay attention to the moisturizing maintenance of lips, which will also damage lips in dry winter.
2. Lack of vitamins and water
Lack of vitamins, lack of water. Cracking from the corners of the mouth is a phenomenon of vitamin deficiency. Take more vitamins, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid partial eclipse. In addition, pungent foods such as frying, frying and spicy food can also chapped lips, and the mint substance of chewing gum can also make lips sensitive.
How to maintain dry lips?
No matter which season, there will be some dry skin on your mouth. I can't help biting it off every time, but sometimes I push too hard and I will spray blood! It is not good to lick your lips often, and it will get drier and drier. Is there a fairy who feels the same way with me! I tell you, it's time to exfoliate! The formation of dead skin is a normal process of body metabolism. If you don't exfoliate for a long time, it will be difficult for your skin to absorb some skin care products, which is why even if you apply lipstick, your lips will peel off. If your lips are dry, you may hurt your mouth when you smile, and it will be ugly to wear lipstick. Maybe you met the male god that day and found that your lips were chapped without being hit hard! Wouldn't that be a lifelong regret! Don't you know that some common daily necessities can solve the problem of dead skin of lips?
1, salt
Yes, you are right ~ it's salt, a natural scrub product. Before use, apply hot compress to the lips to soften the horniness of the lips, then sprinkle with a little salt and gently rub. Don't rub hard with your hands. It hurts. . . Be careful if you have a wound on your lips, because it will really hurt. .
2. sugar
It has the same effect as salt. It is better to choose granulated sugar. Personally, sugar is better than salt, because the sweetness after rubbing is very good!
3. Vaseline
Vaseline feels that it can be used as a universal cream. Both hand cream and body cream are excellent! First, apply a thick layer of vaseline to your lips, and then stick a plastic wrap. After a while, tear off the plastic wrap and wash off the remaining vaseline with warm water. You will find that your lips are really tender, comparable to lip protection!
4, vitamin E+ honey+salt
Vitamin E and honey have a super moisturizing effect on lips, and the scrub effect of refined salt can remove dead skin, which is equivalent to making a lip film for lips. Kill two birds with one stone!
5. Drink more hot water
Is it enough to drink eight glasses of water every day? If you haven't had enough, drink water quickly! Drink plenty of water to make your skin moist.

What about chapped lips and peeling?
1, lip problem
Autumn and winter are dry and cold, and the most common problems of lips are peeling and chapping. Lips are really fragile, only about 1/3 as thick as skin in other places. In other places, the stratum corneum of skin is as thick as ten or twenty layers of cells, while the stratum corneum of lips is only five or six layers of cells. So the thin stratum corneum can't cover the color of the blood vessels below, which is why the lips look rosy. In such a thin place, without the protection of sweat glands and sebaceous glands, directly exposed to cold and dry air, chapped lips are really strong. Because of the sensitivity of lips, once there is any problem, we can't help licking it with our tongue or tearing it with our hands, and then the condition gets worse, causing problems such as cheilitis, and finally leading to pigmentation and deepening lip lines.
2, lip protection method
Lip care is really simple compared to face care. Let's talk about common bad habits first.
0 1, sip, lick
In fact, everyone knows that licking your lips is a way to "quench your thirst by drinking poison", but it is an instinctive reaction. I want to lick my lips when they are dry. Because the amylase in saliva is sticky, like batter, when the wind blows away, it will also take away the moisture from the lips, and the batter will stick to the lips, causing contraction and wrinkles of deep connective tissue. So I did it even harder. The correct way is to apply lip balm immediately. If there is no lip balm in an emergency, it is allowed to use lip balm with moisturizing effect for first aid, but it cannot completely replace lip balm!
02. Tear off the dead skin
Dry lips will inevitably cause peeling, even if you don't wear lipstick, it's ugly, so many sister papers just dig, tear, bite and get rid of them. Then because the dead skin will be connected with the fresh oral mucosa, it will tear and bleed if you are not careful. The correct way is to cut off the dead skin with small scissors, then soften the dead skin with lip balm, and then gently wipe it off with a paper towel.
03, don't remove lip makeup.
The lipstick of many sister papers has been worn off a lot when eating and drinking water, so when you go home to remove makeup, you can hold it in your mouth or even take it off. However, the residual pigment will get stuck in the line. If it is not cleaned up, it will not only cause pigmentation and unsightly lips in the long run, but also make lips allergic and increase the possibility of chapped and inflamed lips. Therefore, sisters must take off their lip makeup when they go home.
Then continue to talk about the method of lip protection ~ Although I have applied lip balm many times during the day, I still have to do lip protection when I go back at night.
Step 1: Remove lip makeup.
It's really important to remove lip makeup ~ In addition to applying lipstick, you also need to adhere to professional eye and lip makeup removal. The recommended products are Clinique eye and lip makeup remover and Mandan eye and lip makeup remover, especially the latter, which is cheap and does not hurt the eyes.
The correct way to remove makeup from lips is to apply a wet cotton pad for 5- 10 seconds. After gently wiping, you can also use cotton thread to remove residual makeup from lip wrinkles ~
Exfoliate
Dead skin on lips metabolizes quickly, and it is easy to precipitate, thicken, keratinize and precipitate pigment, so exfoliate regularly like facial skin. 65438+ 0-2 times a week is enough, not greedy. Before exfoliating, you can apply a layer of lipstick, apply a hot towel to your lips to soften dead skin, then apply a layer of exfoliating products specially prepared for your lips and gently massage your lips.
Lip skin care
Whitening: Sister paper with darker lips can also exfoliate for lip whitening. Choose a mild whitening product, pour it on a cotton pad, and then wet compress it with cotton pad for 3-5 minutes.
Lip mask: If you want to get up tomorrow morning to moisturize your lips, you can also apply lip mask at night. But lip mask, like facial mask, can save the product, but it can't improve much. Before going to bed or putting on makeup, apply 15 minutes to moisten lips.
lipstick
Sleeping is the best time to moisturize and repair lips, so you can apply thick lip balm before going to bed, and the next day you will find that your lips are in good condition and can fly. These four steps don't need to be done every day, but you need to remove your lips when applying lipstick, and you can apply lip balm every night.
