When it comes to our daily skin care routine, many of us overlook one of the most important (and obvious) areas in the mirror: our lips. Environmental factors such as dry weather and masks can affect our pout and require lip balm to take care of it.
The skin on your lips is different from the skin on the rest of your body because it's thinner and more delicate. The skin on your face can be up to 16 layers thick, while the skin on your lips is only three to five layers thick. For this reason, sun exposure, wind, exposure to toxins and other stressors can all damage lips. As a result of these factors, the lip sealant can break, leading to chapped, irritated, redness and peeling.
While lip balm can moisturize throughout the day to prevent cracked or chapped lips, especially during harsh climates, it's best to treat your lips.
A treatment can not only cover and protect, they can also rejuvenate, repair and nourish. Lip masks provide a more powerful ingredient that strengthens the skin barrier to lock in moisture, has a longer-lasting effect and dovetail with the natural repair of the skin.
