Dry Lips

Lips are more prone to dryness because the skin here is thinner and loses moisture easily. Lip licking, smoking, dark lip tints, and certain ingredients in products can all contribute. Frequent reapplication of lip balm may help temporarily, but not all formulations support long-term repair. Intense moisturisation and barrier-focused products tend to be more effective. If dryness persists, it is often linked to underlying eczema or exposure to allergic triggers.
