After winter, the climate gradually dries out and the phenomenon of skin dehydration becomes more and more obvious, especially on the sensitive lips. Drinking water doesn’t seem to solve the dry lips condition, redness of the skin and even swelling and crusting of the blood come along with the phenomenon. Many people like to lick their lips to relieve dryness and cracking, but in fact, this practice will only lead to more serious conditions, and even chronic lip infections. As autumn and winter are the most common times for chronic lip infections, it is important to pay more attention to hydration and increase the intake of B vitamins in daily life, while maintaining a regular rest routine. For people with allergies, it is best to choose a Vaseline lip balm that does not contain too many chemical ingredients. A chronic lip infection is mainly caused by dryness Lip infection patients are present all year round, but the number has increased significantly since entering autumn and winter. Loss of lip mucosa caused by dry climate is the main reason why most patients suffer from lip infection. Since the skin of the lips is only one-third the thickness of the skin of the body, and there are no sebaceous glands, but only mucous membranes with little melanin and a thin epidermis, they are particularly sensitive to dry air, low temperatures, cold winds and other environments, and can easily become dry. In the season at hand, many people feel that their lips are dry and chapped, thus they unconsciously lick their lips, but the result is often counterproductive, and the dryness of the lips is instead aggravated, even leading to lip swelling and blood scabs. In fact, all of these symptoms are typical clinical manifestations of chronic lip infection. When you lick your lips with your tongue, because of the dryness of the outside air, the water brought by saliva will not only evaporate quickly, but also take away the moisture that is already very little in the lips, resulting in a vicious cycle of more dryness and more licking and more dryness, which then induces chronic lip infection. In addition, for people with allergies, the pigments and additives in lipstick can cause allergic reactions, resulting in red, swollen, hot and itchy lips. This situation repeatedly occurs, and over time will also become chronic lip infection. Second, the main points of prevention and control to adjust the diet and daily habits Then how do we prevent chronic lip infection in our daily lives? We can start by adjusting our diet and daily habits to prevent and control it. 1, to ensure adequate water intake. The overall hydration of the skin is closely linked to the amount of water consumed, and the amount of water consumed varies from person to person. As each person’s skin type is different, oily skin people are not prone to dry feeling, while dry skin people are dry feeling obvious, so water consumption should be relatively increased. In addition, from time to time, a sip of water than a one-time glass of water can play a more hydrating effect. 2, diet pay attention to light, try to avoid spicy stimulating food. Especially for people who already suffer from lip infection, the barrier function of the lips has been destroyed, the consumption of irritating food is more harmful. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as soybean sprouts, rape, cabbage, white radish, etc., to increase the intake of vitamin B group. 3, pay attention to the lip moisturizing, skin care. Both men and women should use lip balm to take care of their lips. If mild peeling and flaking can choose to use Vaseline lip balm without any additives to apply, the symptoms of serious need to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition, ensure that you get enough sleep. Sleep is related to a person’s mental condition and immune situation, and poor sleep will lead to a decrease in the immunity of the lip skin, and the ability to respond to external stimuli is also reduced. At the same time, correcting bad habits such as lip licking and lip biting also plays a key role in preventing chronic lip infections.
