LIPS# CELLULAR STRUCTURE# LAYERS# EXFOLIATION#
Lips are used for activities such as facial expressions, talking, eating, drinking and kissing. Given how much we use them it is important to keep them soft, supple and healthy.
There are only 3-5 cellular layers of skin on the lips which is why lips can so easily start to bleed if they are chapped or dry, or if picked the skin off them. In comparison, there are 16 layers of skin on the face. Cellular layer on the lips is much lighter in color then the rest of the body (not in Pakistani people). Particularly in light-skinned people, lip skin contains fewer cells called melanocytes – these are the cells that produce melanin which determines the skin color. So lips are essentially more translucent than the rest of the body which is why the blood vessels are more visible through the lips, giving them their pinky/reddish coloring. For those people with darker skin tones, the skin on your lips contains more melanocytes which is why your lips can be significantly darker in color.
There are no sweat glands on the lips. Which essentially means they do not produce sebum skin’s natural oil. Therefore they dry quicker then the rest of the body. Dry skin gets damaged quicker, which is why chapped lips are such a common occurrence.
When lips get dry we tend to lick them more, Saliva contains salt which furthers dry out lips. Therefore, one might get temporary relief but things will go from bad to worse. Nonetheless certain amount of lip licking is necessary to wash away dead skin cells, so don’t avoid it altogether.
A lip balm/butter/polish/gloss offers an effective protective layer that you would normally get from skin’s natural sebum. In covering your lips with an occlusive layer, it does two things – firstly, it locks moisture in and secondly, it makes it harder for the heat and cold to dry out your lips.
WHY USE LIP SCRUBS? With gentle exfoliation, dead skin cells can be eliminated and newer layer of skin will be exposed, inhibiting lips being attacked by toxins which helps to fight aging effects.
