Chapped lips: why balm alone is never enough
Balm soothes for five minutes then the cycle restarts. What actually breaks it.
The habit that sustains the problem
Licking your lips brings immediate relief, then the saliva evaporates taking more water with it. Repeated fifty times a day, it is the main aggravating factor.
Lips have no sebaceous glands: they cannot protect themselves. Anything that removes their film leaves them exposed.
Repair before hydrating
On already-cracked lips a fragranced balm stings rather than soothes. A panthenol repairing balm, fragrance-free, calms overnight.
Apply it mainly in the evening: the only time it stays in place for hours.
The sun, on lips too
The lower lip is one of the most exposed areas of the face and one of the least protected. At altitude or on snow, protection is essential.
A balm with SPF solves it without adding a step — and that is what makes it actually get used.
