What are the methods for lip care in winter?

Compared to the most important part of our body, lips are organs. There are many kinds of organs, and the lips are the most in need of care. Lips are the least stressed part in winter. The weather is relatively dry in winter, and many people will find that a layer of dry and peeling skin will appear on their lips, which will become very painful. What are the ways to protect lips in winter?

Compared to other parts of the body, the skin on the lips is thinner and more delicate, and its thickness is only one-third of the skin on other parts of the body. In addition, there are no sebaceous glands and melanin that protects the skin, so it is very easy to be damaged.

Especially in the cold winter season, frozen lips will become dry, peeling and even have ugly lip lines. In addition to applying lip balm daily, you need to give your lips more intensive and detailed care to have hydrated and plump lips in winter.

Keep your lips moisturized all winter by adjusting your lips from inside to outside

【Diet】

1. Drink plenty of water

It is also crucial to replenish your body's water in time. Generally speaking, the amount of water the human body consumes every day should be between 1500 and 2000 ml. Office workers who sit in front of computers for long periods of time are more affected by radiation and should drink more water.

However, it is worth noting the way to replenish water. It is not advisable to drink a lot of water at one time. The amount of water you drink each time should be controlled at around 200 ml.

2. Vitamin Supplement

Vitamin deficiency is easy to occur in winter. The health of lip mucosal cells is closely related to vitamins. Eating vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, and taking appropriate amounts of vitamin A, B, and C tablets can improve dark lip color.

In the cold and dry winter, delicate lips need more nourishment from vitamin C and vitamin B2. In winter, you can eat more eggs, dried fruits, beans, fresh vegetables and fruits, which are rich in vitamin C and vitamin B2. Cucumbers, eggplants, pears, radishes, bananas, apples, etc. are all good foods for moisturizing winter, so you may want to eat them in rotation.

3. Eat less irritating food

Try to eat less irritating foods such as onions and garlic, and drink less alcohol, because alcohol will accelerate the evaporation of water in the body.

It should be noted that although there are many fresh oranges on the market in winter, do not eat too many oranges, because oranges are aromatic and warm fruits. Eating too much can easily cause "heatiness", which will result in drier lips.

4. Recommended food

Yam: It is rich in nutrients, contains free amino acids, polyphenol oxidase and other substances, has a nourishing effect, has been a good tonic since ancient times, and there are many ways to eat it.

Fresh vegetables: soybean sprouts, rapeseed, Chinese cabbage, white radish and other fresh vegetables rich in vitamins.

Tremella stewed with rock sugar: stew 50 grams of Tremella and 10 red dates with rock sugar and drink it 3-4 times a day.

Foods that nourish Yin and moisten the lungs: Chopped kelp can be boiled into a soup and drunk, which also has the effect of nourishing Yin. You should also eat more foods that nourish Yin and moisten the lungs, such as sesame seeds and honey. Drinking water boiled with Ophiopogon japonicus, Rehmannia glutinosa, etc. has the effect of nourishing yin. Angelica and Polygonum multiflorum can be boiled in water and drunk, or added to soups or dishes, they have the effect of replenishing blood.

I like to use lip balm in winter, but we must know that although lip balm is very effective and moisturizing in winter, we must truly understand the meaning of it. If you want lip balm in winter, you can eat foods such as yam and fresh fruits and vegetables, and try to eat less onions, ginger, garlic and irritating foods.
