For nearly two years of mask-wearing, everyone has learned special skincare for mask-induced skin issues, such as improving the skin around the eyes and dealing with mask-induced acne. However, it seems that there is one detail that is often overlooked, which is lip care! It is important to know that the lips do not have sebaceous glands, so they do not produce oil like facial skin to combat dryness. Lacking innate protection, the lips not only easily become dehydrated but also struggle to retain moisture. All you can do is diligently apply lip balm to enhance their protection.
To improve dry and peeling lips, the key is to use a highly moisturizing lip balm. Develop a habit of lip care day and night, even applying lip balm multiple times. Apply thinly during the day and thickly at night. When using colored lipstick, you can first apply a layer of lip balm as a base to smooth the lips and make the lip makeup more adherent and less likely to show lip lines.
