Lips ka skin baaki face se thinner hota hai, isliye dryness, cracking, aur pigmentation idhar zyada visible ho jaata hai. Cold weather, dehydration, constant licking, spicy foods, aur harsh matte lipsticks sab milke lips ko rough bana sakte hain.
Sabse common habit – dry lagte hi lips ko lick karna. Thodi der ke liye moist feel aata hai, lekin jab saliva evaporate hota hai to aur dryness leave karta hai. Upar se enzymes lips ke barrier ko irritate kar sakte hain. Same with excessive biting and picking—micro cuts, bleeding, aur infection ke chance badhte hain.
Basic routine simple hai:
- Din bhar thoda-thoda paani.
- Gentle lip balm with oils/butters (like shea, cocoa, etc.).
- Raat ko thoda thick layer laga sakte ho.
Very harsh scrubs (sugar + hard particles) roz use karoge to damage ho sakta hai. Week me ek baar soft cloth ya mild exfoliation enough hai.
Pigmentation kabhi smoking, sun exposure, certain lipsticks, ya allergy reaction se bhi ho sakta hai. Sunscreen-based lip balms, tinted SPF products, aur irritating ingredients avoid karna helpful hota hai. Agar colour change sudden ya patchy ho, to dermatologist ka opinion lena sensible step hai.
