Dry and chipped lips, also known as chapped lips, are a common condition where the skin on the lips becomes dry, cracked, and sometimes even painful. This condition can occur due to a variety of reasons and is often accompanied by discomfort or irritation.
Signs and Symptoms:
Insufficient hydration and exposure to dry environments can lead to moisture loss in the lips, causing them to become dry and chapped
Cold, windy, and dry weather can strip the lips of their natural oils, resulting in dryness and chapping
Not drinking enough water can affect the overall hydration of your body, including your lips, making them prone to dryness and cracking
Habitual licking of the lips might seem soothing, but it actually exacerbates dryness as saliva evaporates quickly, leaving the lips even drier
Certain lip products, ingredients in tooth-paste, or foods you’re allergic to can cause irritation and contribute to dry/chipped lips
