The lips are always very noticeable, a lot depends on their expression. Sit in front of a mirror and carefully study your face, or rather, his grimaces. Lips take an active part in almost all grimaces. For example, the corners of the lips drooping down will give a squeamish expression on the face, and this is not always beautiful, and over time, thanks to such a grimace, we acquire drooping corners of the lips and near-labial wrinkles.

If the corners of the lips are slightly raised, it is already better, because it is almost a smile, and a smile gives the face a kindness. Like facial skin, lips can reflect our health status. In addition, the lips are constantly exposed to wind, sun, frost, dust and other environmental factors. A bad habit - licking lips, biting - damages them, and is the reason for the development of dryness and creating a favorable environment for pathogens.

The skin around the lips is thin and sensitive. In this area, there are few sweat and sebaceous glands, therefore, temperature or mechanical effects negatively affect the state of the epidermis. The orbicularis muscle of the mouth loses its tone over time and gives out age. The lips seem to be compressed and tucked inward.

If cracks form on the lips or in the corners, dry lips may be the cause. This means that the body asks for nutrition with vitamins A, E and B2. But dry lips have many other causes as well.




1. Bad habit of licking lips.
2. Smoking. In this case, the natural moisture of the lips is absorbed by the cigarette paper, and the smoke dries out the epidermis.
3. Excessively hot, cold, spicy, sour, and salty foods.
4. Hereditary factor.
5. Too dry air or insufficient water intake.
6. Possible diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, hormonal disorders, allergies.

Decorative cosmetics, that is, lipstick, can also dry the skin. If this particular reason is established, it is better to abandon such lipsticks and use a protective lip balm. Recently, the most popular are matte lipsticksthat do not leave marks, stay on the lips for a long time. But it is these lipsticks that dry the skin.

If problems with dryness are constant, and even cracks appear, you should consult a doctor who will determine the cause, prescribe special treatment or medical cosmetics, procedures, identify vitamin imbalances, possible gastrointestinal diseases, and the herpes virus. Very often, dry lips are accompanied by dry mouth.
