1. Causes of dry mouth in winter
1, the climate is dry, people's intake of vitamins and water is relatively small, and the skin is easier to dry.
2. The red part of the lips is mucosal tissue, and there is no barrier to isolation from the outside world. The external environment is more likely to cause damage to it, and its water locking ability is weaker.
3, the lips have no sweat glands and pores, can not secrete sweat and sebum, can not form an oil-water protective film, and are easily damaged by external stimuli.
4. The epidermis of lips is thinner than other skin of the body and is very sensitive to climate change. Ultraviolet rays and dryness can induce fine lines, cutin, chapped and other symptoms. Lips are prone to rupture in the seasonal transition with large temperature difference or in autumn and winter.
2. The secret of lip protection in winter
1, choose a reliable lip balm.
The key and shortcut of lip care is to choose a reliable lip balm. When choosing lip balm, don't be superstitious about some luxurious ingredients that sound high-end like facial skin care products, because sealing oil is the most popular part of lip care for this delicate part lacking sebaceous glands. Therefore, cheap ingredients such as mineral oil, mineral fat and cashmere fat can give lips a better moisturizing effect.
Step 2 carry lip balm with you
In winter, especially when you go out, you must always have a moisturizing lip balm and apply it immediately when your lips are dry. Make lip skin feel moist.
3, lips should also be protected from the sun.
Ultraviolet rays can accelerate skin aging, and this principle also applies to lips. Lips that are often exposed to the sun are more likely to become dry and dull, so lip care products used during the day should not only moisturize, but also have the ultraviolet protection function of SPF8 or above.
4. Massage is very important
After using lipstick, you can massage it a little, which can promote the blood circulation of the lips, make the oil penetrate into the lip lines more evenly and fully, and improve the dark visual impression of the lips.
5. Drink 8 glasses of water every day.
The skin on the lips cannot metabolize automatically. Therefore, you must drink 8 glasses of water every day to moisturize your skin. This is a long-term and key "lip protection task".
6. Don't lick your lips when you are dry.
When the lips feel dry, many people will lick their lips unconsciously to relieve the dryness. In fact, this is a very bad habit. Saliva contains a special alkaline enzyme, which will aggravate the dryness of lips and may lead to chapped lips over time.
7, the key to lip care before and after makeup
Before applying lipstick, you must apply enough lip balm and massage it to promote absorption. If you feel dry lips after applying makeup, you can first press to remove the remaining lip makeup, and then apply lip care products with good ductility.
8. When removing makeup, handle it in different regions.
When removing makeup, be sure to use lip-specific makeup remover, such as makeup remover or makeup remover. Because the lip skin is very thin, if you use cleansing oil or other products with too strong cleaning power, it will hurt the lip skin and make the lip drier.
9, targeted vitamin supplements
There are three kinds of vitamins suitable for nourishing the lip skin, vitamin C, vitamin B2 and vitamin A, which can help improve the cutin metabolism of the lip skin, repair the mucosal function and make the lip skin stronger.
10, and the lips should also be wrinkle-proof.
In fact, some mild local anti-wrinkle products can also be applied to lips or lip skin, but be careful not to lick them. In addition, lip line improvement products specially designed for lip contour and skin quality also need to be used frequently to intensively nourish lip skin.
1 1, gently remove dead skin.
When the lips are chapped or peeled, do not tear them by hand, and it is not recommended to use scrub, salt or sugar, which will hurt the mucosa of the lips. The best way is to fully moisturize the lips. After the dead skin softens and falls off easily, gently massage and rinse it with your fingertips, and then apply lipstick with a strong moisturizing feeling.
12, eat less spicy food.
Spicy food will increase the burden on the lip skin, because the lip skin has no barrier protection, only a thin layer of mucosa. Eating some heavy food will stimulate mucosal function and even cause ulcers. Eat more fresh vegetables, such as soybean sprouts, rape, cabbage, white radish and so on. To increase the intake of B vitamins.
Lip protection, from now on. When your mouth is dry, don't lick your lips, they will get thicker and thicker, and even lick out a "sausage mouth".
