As soon as you arrive in the autumn, your lips are peeled. Did you maintain your lip?

With the arrival of autumn, peeling and redness of lips are common phenomena for many people, and it is particularly easy to ignore and missed diagnosis. Recently, a classmate who has just been in high school has seriously affected his daily life because of his lips. The reporter learned that when classmate Zhang felt that it was not a big deal when the lips appeared, he would lick his lips from time to time or "open tears" directly. Occasionally he thought of a little lipstick. The lips were cracked, and he became more and more serious. When he was embarrassed to go to the hospital when he communicated with his classmates because of severe lips, he diagnosed the refractory lanitis.

Maybe many people have the same habit as Zhang when their lips are dry, that is, licking their lips and finding that licking lips cannot solve the problem, they directly tear off their lip skin, but often the result is that the lips are not only "not buying", but also the lips. It will make the situation worse.

Lips are often peeled? Drink plenty of water and you may not be able to supplement your lip water

Many times, the skin of the lips is not just because of dryness, it is often combined with exfoliating lampitis, which is a relatively stubborn type of skin disease. Kong Yulong, the attending physician of the Department of Dermatology, Nanjing Jiangbei Hospital, said in an interview with reporters that the thickness of the lip skin is only 1/3 of the thickness of the body's skin, and there are almost no sebaceous glands and sweat holes to secrete sebum or moisture to nourish themselves. Therefore, in a dry environment in autumn and winter, it will become particularly sensitive. In addition to peeling, if you do not pay attention to maintenance, more serious patients will crack and bleed.

In the cognition of many people, the lips are dry, and drinking more water is definitely helpful, but the fact is not so simple. "Under normal circumstances, there is no inevitable connection between the entire facial hydration (including the lips) and how much we drink water. Even if the daily drinking amount is increased, these water will not be absorbed by the skin." Kong Yulong suggested The moisturizing and hydrating can be used as the daily facial skin care. The coating lip balm is used as the habit of the year and four seasons, but it should not be too much every day.

With the arrival of autumn, the lip care products of major supermarkets have also been launched in large numbers. The reporter saw in a daily necessities store in a shopping mall in Hexi that all kinds of lipsticks were covered with a whole shelf, and the product types also Various. Some are lip balm with simple moisturizing function, and functional lipsticks that dilute the effect of lip lines, and some lip masks that can be used before bedtime, can be applied to lips overnight, etc. Most of them are from more than ten yuan to seven or eighty yuan. No. But how to choose a lip care product that suits you is also a topic worthy of attention.

Moisturizing is the main needs of the lips, but excessive moisturizing will be counterproductive

For daily lip care, ordinary Vaselin ointment is enough to solve the problem. When we buy lip balm, we can first look at the ingredients of the product. "If it contains fragrance spices, mint alcohols and other substances, it is easy to cause allergies, and minimize use." Kong Yulong said that lipstick is mainly moisturizing, and people who are particularly easy to dry and peel are not recommended to use effective lipstick, such as fading. Most of the lipsticks such as lip lines, exfoliating dead skin, etc., most of them will add a type of acidic ingredients such as salicylic acid. It has a certain irritation and will aggravate lipitis. "If the lips that are unknown often occur, it is best to seek medical treatment in time. Don't put on or lipstick."

Lip balm is a good choice for replenishing the moisture and relieving dry peeling symptoms, but it must be reminded that the more the lip balm is not applied, the better. There are a lot of lip -moisturizing products on the market, claiming that it can be coated all night at night, and the next day to keep the lips all day, these effects are not convinced. Kong Yulong explained that a large amount of water supplementing the lips for a long time is likely to destroy the brick wall structure of the skin. "Excessive skin hydrophobic combination will make the skin structure loose, cause damage to the skin barrier, and imbalanced water control. It may be because it cannot resist external stimuli, and the lips become more sensitive."

In addition, the autumn climate is dry, and diet can be strengthened appropriately. Usually eat fresh vegetables such as spinach, carrots, eggplant, etc., which can prevent the onset of lapitis. Wash your lips with water after meals, and apply a certain thickness of Vaselin ointment according to the drying situation of your lips.
