Lips lack the oil glands that provide natural moisture to the rest of the skin and are therefore more prone to dryness, which causes them to crack easily 1-4 . In addition, it is also important to consider the factors that contribute to this.
Factors that can cause your lips to crack 1
Not hydrating 4 :
Dehydration leaves the skin of the lips vulnerable to external factors and can cause dryness.
Licking your lips 1.3 :
If this is your habit, try to stop it. Remember that saliva dries out your lips even more, which becomes a vicious circle.
Using lipstick 3 :
Any lipstick can leave your lips feeling less soft after a while. Especially matte or long-lasting lipsticks that can cause dryness when used.
Climate 3 :
Environmental conditions such as cold and sun that promote dryness and the presence of cracks.
That's why your lips deserve extra, special care 4 . Make them so important that they have their own daily care routine! Try Chapstick Classic in all its flavors: Cherry , Strawberry , and Mint , and they'll be your favorites.
