Drink plenty of water and replenish water.
Autumn and winter are the high season of dry lips, mainly because the moisture content in the air is very low in autumn and winter, and the human body is easy to lose water. Therefore, it is necessary to drink plenty of water to prevent and relieve chapped lips, and the daily drinking amount should reach 2000ml.
Note: Replenishing water does not mean drinking a large amount of water at a time, but drinking a small amount of water many times, which can fully absorb water and prevent "water poisoning" caused by excessive intake of water.
Change bad habits
Chapped lips sometimes give people the feeling that they are not thirsty but uncomfortable. People always habitually lick or bite their lips with their tongues. Although this discomfort can be temporarily relieved, various enzymes in saliva will decompose the skin of lips, and saliva will evaporate quickly, taking away more water and aggravating chapped lips and peeling.
Suggestion: If you want to protect your lips, you should start with these bad habits.
Cracked lips cannot be torn open with scissors.
Lips belong to the "danger triangle" in medicine. Therefore, chapped lips should never be torn with hands or teeth, but should be cut with small scissors in front of the mirror to avoid bleeding and pain caused by tearing, and even infection, panniculitis and health hazards in severe cases.
heat
Applying hot towel to lips is also a good way to treat chapped lips and remove dead skin of lips. Apply a hot towel to your lips for a few minutes, and then gently wipe off the dead skin from left to right. After wiping off the lip skin, a thin layer of honey can be coated on the lip, which can not only protect the lip skin, but also provide some nutrition for the lip skin.
Note: Before wiping the dry and cracked dead skin with a towel, make sure that the dry and cracked lip skin is fully wetted by the towel, and the wiping force should not be too strong to avoid tearing the lips.
Lipstick
Applying lipstick has always been a good way to relieve chapped lips, but lipstick is an external medicine after all, and the materials and formulas of different manufacturers are still very different. Lipsticks on the market are not necessarily qualified and safe. Therefore, special attention should be paid to lipstick, especially to expectant mothers during pregnancy. Lipstick is not recommended.
Suggestion: Pregnant mothers do not recommend applying lipstick, but can apply natural vitamin E instead, which is healthy and safe and can moisturize lips.
Vitamin additive
The chapped lips and white secretions at the corners of the mouth are more due to the lack of vitamins, mainly B vitamins. Therefore, this kind of chapped lips first needs to be supplemented with B vitamins.
Foods rich in vitamin B: milk, egg yolk, peanuts, cabbage, nuts, soybeans, lean meat, bananas, brown rice, cheese, chicken liver and so on.
Ensure adequate sleep.
Dry lips are a symptom of people who often stay up late. Many people who work in KTV or Internet cafes have poor sleep quality, and some people work very hard. Working overtime and staying up late leads to poor sleep quality. Such people are more likely to get angry, which is a major factor causing chapped lips and peeling. As long as you adjust your schedule and ensure adequate sleep, you can eliminate chapped lips and peeling.
Timely medical treatment
Ordinary chapped lips and peeling are trivial, but long-term chapped lips and bleeding are abnormal manifestations, which may be cheilitis. You should go to the hospital's dermatology department or ENT department in time to find out the truth about lip peeling.
Note: In the case of chapped lips and excessive bleeding, do not blindly apply lipstick or other drugs, and follow the doctor's advice.
Wear a mask when going out.
In autumn and winter, the air is dry, and the human body loses water quickly, especially when the mobile phone rider is facing the cold wind, and the facial water loss is very fast. Therefore, you must wear a mask when you go out. Wearing a mask can not only keep the temperature and humidity of your lips and face, but also filter out larger particles in the air.
