To Look For the Cold Lips
I have gone cold, and one of the parties who suffer its effects are our lips, because of the extreme fragility of their skin because now, with low temperatures, are more subject to external aggression, and lose their hydration natural. Therefore, you notice them more chapped and cracked.
Your skin, very sensitive
it is different from the rest of the body, and very definite characteristics. For one, its outer layer is much weaker and thinner than the face, so that its barrier function is less effective. That means that the mouth is much more prone to dehydration, with consequences that have: peeling, tightness and small cracks.
The red color of the lips is given by the extreme fragility of this semimucosa, which allows transparent capillary network. So when you press a lip against another, they are redder, as it increases the blood supply.
Did you know?
The mouth has no melanin, which is why it does not get brown and burns easily, since it has no protection from ultraviolet rays. So if you’re on the beach or, especially at this time in the mountains, be careful using balms with high rates of sun protection. There are, for example, Isdin, RoC, Neutrogena or Nivea.
Three keys to caring
* Hydration, always. The best method for preserving health and the smoothness of the lips is to keep hydrated, which is easily achieved using a lip moisturizer repeatedly or lipstick. And the moisture also can become a good ally of her beauty: beyond the implementation of fillers, the best way to increase the volume of the lips is always keep hydrated.
* Exfoliation and balms. Furthermore, to remove the flakes that appear, nothing like a gentle exfoliation, you can get by doing something as simple as rubbing with a towel (old toothbrush trick is often too aggressive). Then, and while they are cracked, uses a regenerative effect balm to remove dead cells and alleviate the feeling of tightness. And as you feel the skin of the lips is again smooth, use emollient balm rich in fatty agents. These supplement the skin’s barrier function and give an extra layer of protection, as if dressed in a coat.
* Make-up artist … try to avoid matte lipsticks or very long duration, as these tend to dry out the mouth. Instead, opt for highlights or creamy formulas that provide extra moisture and care.
