Can you often wear lip balm for dry lips?

Lip balm should be used in moderation, as if you use lip balm too often, your lips may become drier.

The human lip mucosa has no sweat glands and usually only a small number of sebaceous glands, which are very fragile and easily lose water due to the lack of a natural protective membrane. In addition, the stratum corneum of the lips is extremely thin, making it difficult to retain moisture, and the climate is relatively dry in winter, and people's lips are easy to peel and crack. Lip balm can be effective in relieving dry and flaky lips, but if you apply lip balm frequently, it may disrupt the lip's own barrier ability, resulting in a decrease in sebaceous gland secretion and making the lips drier.

In addition,Applying your lips frequently can cause your lips to become dependent on lipstick. Once discontinued, symptoms such as dry, peeling lips will worsen. In addition,Some of the chemical ingredients present in lipstick may cause problems such as skin irritation and damage to the lips after long-term use.

Therefore, it is not recommended to apply lipstick frequently, about 3 times a day. If the dry and peeling of the lips is aggravated, it is recommended to go to the ** department.
