1, vitamin deficiency
Chapped lips and peeling are often related to people's eating less fresh vegetables and insufficient intake of B vitamins in their daily lives. In particular, vitamin B2 deficiency can lead to skin and mucous membrane damage and lip peeling.
2. Water shortage
Because the lips have only a thin layer of mucosa and no stratum corneum, once the body is short of water or the humidity in the air is low, the moisture in the mucosa will be reduced, resulting in chapped lips and peeling.
3, cheilitis
If you always dry your mouth and peel off repeatedly, it may be caused by chronic cheilitis. Panniculitis often occurs in young people, and some bad habits are the inducement. If the lips are dry, they will lick or bite, leading to increased pain, bleeding lips and infection. The wound is difficult to heal, and it will recur, forming a vicious circle, which will develop into chronic cheilitis after a few days' delay.
4. Bad living habits
Many people often lick their lips when peeling their mouths. Because the enzymes in saliva will absorb the moisture of lips, make lips drier, and then lead to oral desquamation. However, many people want to moisturize their skin by licking their lips because their mouths are peeling off, but they don't know that the result is to aggravate the degree of chapped lips.
Step 5 get burned by the sun
The skin of the lips is thin and delicate, and the lips are easily burned by ultraviolet rays, resulting in peeling.
6. Improper use of cosmetics
Paraffin and pigment in lipstick can take away moisture, and users who make up for a long time are generally prone to peeling lips.
7. Physical factors
The decrease of osmotic pressure of interstitial fluid in human body caused by excessive internal heat and some diseases such as diabetes leads to excessive drainage and water shortage of interstitial fluid. Anemic people often have peeling lips.
8. What lip protection do you eat?
1, drink plenty of water
It is also important to replenish body water in time. Under normal circumstances, the daily water intake should be 1500-2000ml. Office workers who sit in front of the computer for a long time are more affected by radiation, so they should add more water to themselves.
But the way to replenish water is worth noting. It is not suitable for "flushing irrigation", and the amount of drinking water should be controlled at about 200 ml each time.
2, vitamin supplements
Vitamin deficiency is easy to occur in winter, and the health of lip mucosal cells is closely related to vitamins. Eating more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins and taking tablets containing vitamins A, B and C in moderation can improve dull lips.
In the cold and dry winter, delicate lips need the nourishment of vitamin C and vitamin B2. You can eat more eggs, dried fruits, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits in winter, which are rich in vitamin C and vitamin B2. Cucumber, eggplant, pear, radish, banana, apple, etc. They are all good products for moistening dryness in winter, so you might as well eat them instead.
3. Eat less irritating food
Try to eat less irritating foods such as onions and garlic and drink less, because alcohol will accelerate the evaporation of water in the body.
Need to be reminded that there are many fresh oranges in the market in winter, but don't eat too many oranges, because oranges are fragrant and warm fruits, and eating too much will easily get angry and make your lips drier.
Step 4 recommend food
Yam: It is rich in nutrition, contains free amino acids, polyphenol oxidase and other substances, and has a nourishing effect. It has been a good tonic since ancient times and has been eaten in many ways.
Fresh vegetables: bean sprouts, rape, Chinese cabbage, white radish and other fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.
Stewed rock sugar with tremella: Stew rock sugar with 50g tremella and 10 red dates and drink it 3-4 times a day.
Foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs: Chopped kelp and boiled soup can also nourish yin, so you should eat more foods that nourish yin and moisten the lungs, such as sesame seeds and honey. Ophiopogon japonicus, Radix Rehmanniae and other decoctions can nourish yin. Angelica sinensis and Polygonum Multiflori Radix can be decocted in water, or cooked with soup, which has the effect of enriching blood.
5, diet and spleen
According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, "the spleen opens in the mouth and the qi is abundant in the lips", that is, the spleen is combined with the meat and the lips are muscle tissue. The color of lips is closely related to the transportation of spleen, so strengthening the spleen is the key to prevent chapped lips. Corn, sorghum, wax gourd, lentils, pumpkins, sweet potatoes, carrots and other fruits and vegetables are all good foods for strengthening the spleen.
