Lip balm for… men?

Why is it important to take care of your lips?

As we know, the lips have a great cosmetic, social and sensory importance. It should be noted that they do not have bone or cartilaginous support; they are formed by a mobile and elastic structure composed of skin, mucosa, salivary glands and muscle mass, characteristics that favor their different functions such as facial expression, speech emission, physical attraction, among many others. ^1,2

Habits that affect the appearance and hydration of the lips

Sometimes we don't even realize it, but some habits cause the lips to look bad, causing them to become dry:

• Lick your lips frequently, as saliva dries them out.
• Drink little fluids
• Having an inadequate diet
• Nibble the lips
• Tear off one's "leathers"
• The use of some medications
• Do not use lip protection, especially in cold or sunny weather.
