Common causes of chapped lips
1, because the climate is dry.
When the weather becomes dry, it is easy for the human body to lose water faster and make the skin drier. Similarly, lips, too, will become chapped because of dry weather!
2. Insufficient water intake
Some women often don't drink enough water, especially in winter, which is easy to cause dehydration, so their skin will be chapped and their lips will be chapped.
3. Due to vitamin deficiency
In addition to the lack of water will lead to chapped lips, lack of vitamin A and vitamin B2 will also lead to chapped lips. At this time, you can eat more fruits and vegetables to improve.
4, inferior lipstick stimulation
Women use lipstick very frequently and will eat a lot of lipstick within a year. Therefore, if the lipstick of poor quality is used for a long time, it will irritate the lips and cause the skin of the lips to age and dry.
5. Bad habit of vicious circle
When the lips are dry and uncomfortable, many people subconsciously lick their lips, but the result is often dry, forming a vicious circle, even licking the skin around their lips rough and thick, and even swelling their lips, forming medical "tongue licking dermatitis" and "chronic cheilitis". No matter from the perspective of health or beauty, let's get rid of the unsightly habit of licking our lips.
How to repair chapped lips in winter?
1, avoid licking your lips.
Avoid peeling off dead skin on your lips, as this may lead to injury and infection. Resist the temptation to lick your lips dry, because the more you lick your lips, the drier you get. When your lips feel dry, take a sip of water and apply lip balm.
Step 2 exfoliate regularly
Just like the face, the lips will accumulate dead skin. Gently massage your lips with a natural scrub made of olive oil and sugar. You can also use a baby toothbrush to remove dead skin from your lips, and then wipe your lips with a wet cotton cloth.
Step 3 Moisturize before applying lipstick
Lipstick will dry your lips in this weather. Always use lip balm or moisturizing cream before using lipstick. If your lips become too smooth, use a tissue to absorb excess water. Your lipstick will last longer, and your lips will not be chapped by moisturizing.
Step 4 avoid scented lipstick
Although scented lipstick smells good, avoid using lipstick with added colors and artificial flavors. These chemicals will make your lips dry and cause allergies. You can moisturize your lips with natural oils, such as coconut oil, olive oil and so on.
5, add enough water
Keeping your body hydrated can solve most beauty problems. Dehydration is one of the reasons for dry lips. Even in cold winter, make sure to drink enough water.
Keep good habits and get rid of bad habits.
1. Apply lip balm on the front before applying lipstick or lip gloss: Usually, the grease of lipstick or lip gloss is mostly composed of synthetic esters, and frequent use will make the skin of lips drier. Before use, be sure to apply lip balm with lip repair and moisturizing effect.
2. Don't carry lip protection products with you: Regular habits such as drinking water, eating, and wiping your mouth with napkins will actually cause dry lips. Don't forget to carry lip protection with you, and supplement your lips with proper amount of oil at any time and place to avoid dry lips at any time.
3. I like to tear off the dead skin of my lips by hand or with my lips: direct "biting" will cause wounds and make my lips more "injured". You can use a toothbrush to brush a little lip balm or vaseline directly on the peeling lips to help the dead skin fall off. If you can't clean up all the dead skin at once, you can't forcibly remove the dead skin. As long as we strengthen the moisturizing of the lips, it will gradually improve.
4. Lip licking: When your lips feel dry, don't lick your lips with your tongue all the time, because saliva contains proteolytic domain elements, which will make your lips skin drier and even crack. You should always wear lip balm.
What is good for chapped lips?
1, lip balm/lip balm. The main function of lip balm is to provide a barrier for lips and lock in moisture. It is basically inseparable from wax, but now there is a new formula that does not contain wax, as well as antioxidant components such as vitamins A and E and SPF sunscreen function. If the skin of lips is sensitive, it is best to choose lip balm containing natural spices and sesame oil. You can't wear lipstick once in the morning. You'd better take one with you, put one in the office, and make it up when you feel dry. Using lip balm as the background color of lipstick can make the color of lipstick more attractive.
2, lip gloss. Rod-shaped, with brush. Generally, the color of lip gloss is thicker than lip honey, with strong hiding power and rich colors. Solid lip gloss is similar to lipstick. Lip gloss with thin texture lasts for a short time, and 1 or needs to be repaired once every 2 hours, so it will feel shiny. Thick sticky lip gloss lasts for a long time. 3, 4 hours to make up the makeup, the effect is brighter. The disadvantage is that it is easy to overflow from the lip line, thus blurring the lip contour. Lip gloss is more shiny, moist and shiny. The biggest feature is bright and moist, so that the lips after lipstick are no longer dry and heavy, but bring a more shiny and light feeling.
3, lip gloss. Like toothpaste, it feels squeezed. Generally speaking, lip gloss is very light in color and belongs to gel type. The visual effect is crystal clear, but the hiding power is poor. In professional makeup, it is generally used with lipstick and rarely used alone. Its advantage is luster, suitable for light makeup, transparent makeup or nude makeup. A thicker lip gloss is better than a thinner lip gloss. The disadvantage is that the hiding power and decorative color of lip color are poor. It is easy to overflow from the lip line, thus blurring the outline of the lips. Generally speaking, lipstick is slightly heavier and lip gloss is not so saturated, so it is often necessary to mix the two to create the ideal perfect lips.
4. lipstick/lipstick. Lipstick, also called lipstick, is generally solid, and its texture is drier and harder than lip gloss and lip gloss. Lip protection effect and skin feeling are not as good as lip gloss and lip gloss, and it is not moist enough, which often makes people feel that lips will dry after 1 hour. Therefore, you must apply lip balm to moisten your lips before applying lipstick. Lipstick has the advantages of high color saturation and strong color hiding power, and it is generally not easy to overflow because of the deep lip lines, so it is the most suitable to modify lips and lip color. If you want to create a bright effect and decorate your lips to the maximum extent, you can first draw the outline of your lips with lipstick and make a base, and then apply transparent or similar color lip gloss or lip honey to brighten them.
