Dry Lips –
why are my lips dry?
Does Labello
dry out lips?
Lip balms contain oils and moisturisers that soothe dry skin. They form a barrier on the skin's surface, which locks in moisture and prevents other harmful substances or environmental stresses affecting the skin below.
Lips are particularly susceptible to dryness, as they do not contain the sweat and oil glands that the rest of our skin does, so the only way to restore a protective barrier is by using a lip balm.
There is no chance of this process causing further dryness and applying Labello lip balms is an essential part of a healthy daily lip care routine.What is making my lips
so dry?
You may not know this, but your lifestyle could be having more of an impact on the health of your lips than you think.
One of the top causes of dry lips is dehydration. The root cause of this could be not drinking enough water or possibly cold weather causing your skin to dehydrate.
Other factors include drinking too much alcohol or smoking, licking your lips regularly, eating very spicy or acidic food or breathing through your mouth instead of your nose.
Making small changes to your lifestyle can really make a difference to the health of your lips and after seeing the results, you'll never want to go back!

The basics
There's no need to let dry and sore lips leave you feeling blue. There are a number of steps you can take to make them feel more comfortable and smooth.
When it comes to lip care, it's important to always stay one step ahead of the game by having a thorough lip care routine – prevention is better than cure. But we're all only human and sometimes get caught out.
If you do find yourself with dry and flaky lips, an easy way to exfoliate them and get rid of the dead skin is by gently rubbing your toothbrush over them. Using generous amounts of intensive lip butters like NIVEA Lip Butter Coconut are fantastic as an overnight lip treatment too.
