Chapped lips - what to do?
Chapped lips is an unpleasant condition that can be caused by both a disease and poor lip care.
Chapped lips, which result in cheilitis or vitamin A deficiency, eczema or psoriasis, atopic dermatitis or other diseases, must be treated comprehensively. The emphasis is on treating the disease itself, which maintains the painful condition of the lips.
Chapped lips can be the result of improper and neglectful treatment of them. The bad habit of licking lips leads to overdrying of the red border of the lips, which in turn provokes cracking of the skin, wounds that do not heal for a long time. It is not recommended to lick your lips in windy weather, in heat and cold. So that the skin of the lips does not dry out, it is lubricated with moisturizers and oily creams, alternating these procedures. In frosty weather for the street, a fat cream is suitable, and at night, respectively, they choose a moisturizing one, or in the winds and in heat - a moisturizing one, and at night - a fat cream. You can use cosmetic petroleum jelly as an alternative to cream.
What to do with chapped lips if you don't have the right lip cream or Vaseline on hand? Creams can be replaced with vegetable oils, the best effect of which is given by applications of sea buckthorn oil or St. John's wort oil. But as a last resort, olive oil will do.
Makeup for chapped lips should also be gentle: it is better to use oily lipstick (dry lipstick is applied to lips previously lubricated with cream or oil). Do not powder your lips before applying lipstick.
