There are many causes of dry and chapped lips, including:
- General dry skin or eczema
- Mouth breathing due to cold or flu
- Sensitivity to toothpaste, certain fragrances in food, or even cosmetics

- In addition to some skin diseases that affect the lips
All this distorts the appearance of the lips, which are one of the most prominent signs of beauty in women
Methods of prevention

- Drink the right amount of water
- Avoid irritating foods
- While using toothpaste (you can apply a layer of Vaseline to your lips before brushing to create a protective layer of skin)
- Avoid matte or non-drying lipstick
- Of course see Dermatologist In severe cases
therapeutic interventions
- Lip fillers can help treat dry and chapped lips because the filler contains a high concentration of hyaluronic acid that provides strong hydration to the lips.
