Just like the skin around your eyes, the skin around and on your lips is thinner and more sensitive than elsewhere on your face/body. This area has lots of blood vessels that are close to the surface, but fewer sebum and sweat glands – and it loses fluid fairly fast. So it’s important to look for specialist lip care products that hydrate, moisturise, protect and repair. To counter dryness and cracking, look out for formulations that include emollients such as Shea Butter and Glycerin.
