Secrets of the lip skin: why is it so fragile?
Structural peculiarities:
The stratum corneum is only 1/3 the thickness of the facial skin, with few natural moisturising factors (NMF);
No sebaceous glands: unable to secrete oil on its own to lock in water, relies on external moisturization;
Few melanocytes: more sensitive to UV rays, prone to sunburn and dullness.
The root cause of common problems:
Dry, cracked/peeling: lack of water + damaged barrier;
Deep lip lines: collagen loss + chronic dryness;
Dull lip color: sun exposure, lipstick residue, smoking, or poor blood circulation;
Lip inflammation: allergy, bacterial infection.
Four Steps to Daily Care: The Golden Rule for Hydrated Lips
Gentle cleansing:
Make-up removal is a must: use eye and lip make-up remover (avoid rubbing) to dissolve lipstick and sunscreen;
Avoid excess: A light wipe with water in the morning is sufficient, so there is no need for frequent cleansers.
Exfoliate regularly:
Frequency: 1 time per week for healthy lips (1 time per 2 weeks for sensitive skin);
Method: soften with a hot compress, gently massage with a lip scrub, and wash with water.
Deep moisturizing:
Choice of ingredients: closed oils + moisturisers (hyaluronic acid, panthenol);
Night repair: thick application of a lip mask containing collagen and jojoba oil, cling film covered for 5 minutes for better results.

🚫 Sensitising/irritating ingredients:
