Skin is dry in winter. Cracks in the skin of hands and feet. The skin of the lips also cracks. There may be various reasons behind this.
1. Dehydration
One of the causes of dry lips is lack of water in the body. Due to which the lip skin becomes dry but cannot grow faster than that. Other symptoms of dehydration will also appear. But the simple solution to this problem is to drink enough water throughout the day.
2. Lack of nutrition
Many complications occur in the body due to lack of nutrition. California nutritionist Amandeep Kalsi says, energy levels, brain power, immunity, vision, digestion, nerve activity, hormone production, muscle tone and heart health - all these require vitamin B.
Vitamin B (Vitamin B) is especially necessary for the growth and recovery of twelve cells. Inadequacy of this vitamin can cause dry mouth. B vitamins cannot be stored in the body for long. Therefore, it is necessary to meet the needs of this vitamin through daily food.
3. Sunlight can be one of the reasons for the increase in lip problems in the heat of prolonged exposure
to sunlight. Sunburn can be not only on the body but also on the face. And the face gets more sun than other parts of the body.
New York dermatologist Dr. In a report published on RealSimple.com, Nussbaum said that exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause lip skin, discoloration, inflammation, etc. So use a lip balm with an SPF of 30 or more.
4. Lip Balm Addiction
Lip balm keeps the lips moist - that's what everyone thinks. But lip balm can actually dry out the lips instead of keeping them moist. This is because of the ingredients in the lip balm. New York dermatologist Marnie Nussbaum says some lip balms only contain humectants, which provide instant moisture. But cannot retain moisture.
In the report published on realsimple.com, he also said that hyaluronic acid and glycerin (Glycerin) absorb water from the air and keep the lips moist. But if the lip balm doesn't contain 'occlusive' or moisture-locking ingredients like petroleum, beeswax, shea butter, coconut oil or squalene, the lips will quickly become dry. As a result, lip balm has to be used again and again.
So look at these ingredients while buying lip balm. Read the label. And if you need to use lip balm again and again, this doctor advises to change it.
