The skin on our lips is very thin and
there are no oil glands to help protect them. So, it's up to you. Here are a
few things you should know about your lips and how to care for them.
Here's
How:
1. The
Reasons...
2. Heat
as well as cold can contribute to dried out lips.
3. Another
cause of dry lips is aging. The older you get, the more prone they are to
chapping.
4. Avoid
licking your lips. Easier said than done. I know but read on.
5. Another
bad habit that you can fall into is biting off bits of dead skin.
6. Chewing
on your lips is more popular than you might think. And for women who wear
lipstick, here is a bit of trivia that I dug up for you...
7. Did
you know that women who are habitual lip chewers eat four to nine pounds of
lipstick during their life?
8. How
To Protect Your Lips...
9. Drink
plenty of water to moisturize your lips from the inside.
10. Cracked
lips could be a sign that your diet is low in B vitamins.
11. Keep
lips well lubricated at all times and this means at bedtime as well. My lips
are especially dry right after brushing my teeth!
12. I
find that one lip balm is not enough. I keep one in my desk drawer, one in the
bathroom, and one in each of my purses.
