4hw.org: because of the cold and dry weather in winter, the lips will often dry, sometimes drinking too much water will not help, so what's the reason for the dry lips in winter, how to prevent the dry lips? Here are some tips to help you!
1. Drink water. It's better to warm boiled water. Tea and boiled water, I compared, feel at this time drinking tea is not very good, let the lips feel a little dry, may be because tea has diuretic effect.
2. When I eat VC and VB, I add the amount of VC to 300mg / d. VB is also very important, especially VB3, which has the function of anti dermatitis and enhancing skin barrier.
3. Go to bed early. Sleeping late will make your lips more dry and scorched (of course, I try to sleep before 11:30, which is also late enough). I always feel that sleeping late will reduce the function of skin barrier. I hope there will be some experiments to verify it in the future.
4, oil or Lip Balm Moisturizing and moisturizing. I tend to apply natural vegetable oil or VE, which has moisturizing effect and moisturizing effect. This year I was outside, I didn't bring any oil, but I just had a bottle of barrier repair essence, which contained ceramide and astaxanthin. I took it for an emergency for a few days and finally got through it.
5. Use toothpaste without fluoride. Some people are allergic to fluoride, which not only affects the lips, but also causes discomfort in the mouth.
6 use humidifier in office. This improves the air humidity in the room and instantly moisturizes the lips.
Causes of dry lips
1. Lick lips
Many people like to lick their lips when they feel dry. In fact, saliva can only temporarily wet the lips, but the evaporation is faster, making the lips more dry. Biting your lips can also aggravate dry cracks.
2. Dehydration
Not drinking enough water can cause chapped lips.
3, allergy
If vitamin B12 is taken too much, it may lead to cobalt allergy and dry lips. If you are allergic to nickel, do not let your lips touch metal products.
4. No lip gloss.
Lip gloss can provide protection for lips, and products with SPF are optional.
5. Breathe with your mouth
Breathing with your mouth often will definitely dry your lips. People with cold or those with sleep problems can apply some lip balm before going to bed.
6, toothpaste
Many toothpastes contain sodium dodecyl sulfate, which can cause skin dryness and itching. In winter, the use of such toothpastes should be minimized.
