Beautiful Lips Start with Good Care
Lip skin is up to ten times thinner than the rest of your face. It contains no sebaceous glands and barely any melanin, making it extremely vulnerable to dryness, cold, wind and UV radiation. Yet many people forget their lips in their daily skincare routine.
Belgian online pharmacies like Viata, Farmaline and Medi-Market offer targeted solutions - and on PharmaCompare, you will find that price differences are surprisingly large.
Why Do Lips Get Dry?
- No sebaceous glands - lips produce no natural protective oils
- Very thin skin - only 3 to 5 cell layers thick
- Licking makes it worse - saliva evaporates and takes moisture with it
- UV radiation - the lower lip is especially vulnerable to sun damage
- Heating and air conditioning - dry indoor air continuously dehydrates lip skin

- Use a humidifier during heating season
