Fine skin cracks and a compromised skin barrier allow bacteria and viruses to enter your body more easily and cause inflammation. Healthy, intact lip skin is therefore important for health reasons.
Dry, chapped lips not only look unattractive, but they can also be very painful. When styling, dry lips can quickly cause frustration. The reason: lipsticks "creep" into dry skin lines and can appear uneven and patchy on uneven and dry lips. Well-cared-for lips are simply part of your well-groomed appearance.

This area of skin dries out particularly quickly during the cold season. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, it is due to the lack of moisture supply: the skin on the lips gets its moisture from small blood vessels connected to it. In cold weather and dry heated air, these blood vessels constrict and can only transfer a small amount of moisture to the tissue. That’s why your lips lose moisture faster than other areas of skin, especially in winter.
The corners of the mouth also often suffer during the cold season: they often feel dry and rough and crack easily. Chapped and cracked skin therefore regularly needs fat and moisture.

Dry, warm air as well as salt or chlorinated water strip moisture from sensitive skin in the summer. The simplest trick is therefore: drink, drink, drink! Because chapped, dry lips in summer can be a sign of dehydration. The best lip care for dry lips on warm days: a nourishing lip balm that can help retain moisture in your skin.
Despite carefree summer moods, you should remember sun protection for your lips. They are among the skin areas that burn the fastest. This is because the lip skin produces very little melanin, which naturally protects the skin from UV rays. This can quickly lead to red and chapped lips. Therefore, apply a lip balm with sun protection factor or sunscreen – ideally with mineral sun protection factor.
