Brilio.net - When entering the dry season, lips sometimes feel dry and look dull. In this condition, the lips become dehydrated, making them dry and chapped easily. Reporting from Vinmec, Wednesday (3/7) weather makes up as much as 70% of body weight which plays a role in eliminating toxins, while maintaining moisture in the skin, hair and lips. When the dry or hot season enters and you don't drink enough water, it can cause dry and scaly lips.
Apart from that, dry lips can also be caused by using unsuitable toothpaste. Now many toothpastes are made from sodium lauryl sulfate. These ingredients can irritate and cause your lips to become dry and end up chapped.
