Winter is here and many people's skin will feel very dry, especially the lips. Having cheilitis is a very uncomfortable thing. In fact, in our daily life, we can prevent the occurrence of cheilitis in this way. Let’s take a look.

How to prevent cheilitis

1. Correct bad living habits: smoke less, drink less, do not use antibiotics at will, do not use inferior or unsuitable lipstick, and do not blindly get lip tattoos. Avoid factors that may cause allergic reactions. Change the habit of biting lips and tongue to avoid mucous membrane trauma.

2. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, such as protein-rich foods, and less sour, spicy, astringent, hot and fried foods. Don't eat inferior foods pickled with industrial salt, fried with "waste oil" or stir-fried with lime.

3. Correct bad habits and do not lick, bite or peel off lip dandruff.

4. Reduce the stimulation of tobacco and alcohol, eat less spicy and greasy foods, and avoid exposure to the sun.

5. Regularly take products that strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness, such as drinking decoctions of coix seed, water chestnut, red bean, etc.

6. Eat more fresh vegetables, such as bean sprouts, cabbage, white radish, etc. to increase the intake of B vitamins.

Will wearing lipstick cause cheilitis?

Generally speaking, wearing lipstick will not cause cheilitis, because the causes of cheilitis are varied, not just lipstick. For example, genetic diseases or allergic bacterial infections may cause symptoms of cheilitis.

In fact, lipstick must follow certain hygiene standards during the production process. The hygiene standards of lipsticks produced by regular large factories are very strict. Even if the lipstick is lacking in moisturizing properties, it will not easily cause cheilitis. Therefore, when buying lipstick, you should try to choose lipstick produced by large manufacturers, and stay away from products without any labels or lipstick from WeChat merchants, because these lipsticks may not meet the hygiene standards during processing, which may cause cheilitis.

After applying makeup on your lips, you must pay attention to removing makeup. Improper makeup removal will not only cause pigmentation on the lips, but may also cause bacterial infection on the lips over time and cause cheilitis. When removing makeup, we can drop a lip makeup remover on the makeup remover cotton, and then stick it on the lips and leave it for a while. This step is to allow the makeup remover to blend with the lipstick and remove the lipstick in an oil-dissolving way. After removing makeup, you should also rub your lips with facial cleanser. This is the correct step to remove makeup.

Therefore, in order to prevent the occurrence of cheilitis, everyone must remember to remove makeup after applying lip makeup. This is not only to prevent cheilitis, but also to prevent dullness of the lips caused by pigmentation. Friends who have already had cheilitis should also stop using lipstick for a period of time to heal first and then become beautiful.
