"The skin of the lips is much thinner than the rest of the body and does not have sweat or sebaceous glands. This means that it can dry out much faster than the skin on the face," explains Dr. Carmen Martín, specialist in Aesthetic Medicine.
"There are many causes that can cause us to have dry lips. It could well be due to being subjected to high levels of stress, drastic changes in temperature or not drinking enough water. The truth is that these reasons are add others derived from situations such as constant lip licking, sun exposure, breathing through the mouth or as a consequence of other diseases, medical treatments or the use of acne medications", adds Dr. Antonio Licitra, specialist in Aesthetic Medicine and director from Med-Estetic.

Dr. Martín points out that "prolonged use of the mask can also dry out the lips, since more sweating occurs in the area and excess perspiration leads to a lack of hydration and causes the lips to end up drying out."
How to take care of the lips so that they look hydrated? "Applying a lip balm in the morning and at night will help nourish and protect the lips. Other home remedies, such as aloe vera, cocoa butter or cucumber, are also a perfect option to hydrate them," adds Dr. Licitra .
