Why do lips become drier the more you use lip masks? Don’t use lip masks too frequently

In autumn and winter, lips are always dry and peeling. At this time, we will use lip masks to moisturize them. But why do lips become drier the more we use lip masks? What is going on?

Why does my mouth become drier the more I use lip mask?

It may be because you use lip masks too frequently, which leads to dependence. Your lips rely on the lip masks to lock in and replenish moisture, so you become lazy. Once you stop using the lip masks, your lips will feel particularly dry. Over time, mouth skin problems will become more serious.

Do not use lip mask all the time unless there are special circumstances

Under normal circumstances, lips are moisturized and do not require additional moisture. However, sometimes when the weather is dry, you drink less water or you get a sore throat, your lips will become dry and flaky. At this time, you need external help to provide nutrients to your lips. It should be noted that this external force only provides nutrients to the lips temporarily and does not need to be used all the time. The lips themselves have the function of moisturizing and can be self-sufficient under normal circumstances. Once external force intervenes, this balance will be broken.

Lips can normally moisturize themselves, but if you frequently use lip masks to moisturize your lips, your lips will become dependent and lazy, reducing their own moisture and increasing evaporation. Once you stop using the lip mask, the moisture in your lips will be insufficient to meet the demand.

How often should I use lip mask?

Lip mask is a "facial mask" for the lips. It often contains exfoliating enzymes and functional ingredients that moisturize the lips. The purpose of using a lip mask is to moisturize, soften and remove aged cuticles, provide nutrition and radiance to the lips, and lighten the pigmentation of the lips. Because it has the effect of exfoliating, if used every day, the cuticle will become thinner, making the lip skin more fragile. Therefore, although lip masks are good, you should not use them every day. Generally 1-2 times a week is enough, not too many times.
