Dr. Alexei Ydemsky, a dermatologist, told “Sputnik” Radio that the wind, low and negative temperatures, and the dry air inside homes as a result of winter heating, all cause dry lips, and this condition is called – cheilitis. Temperatures near plus 10 ° C are harmful to the skin and mucous membranes.
He added: “Before leaving the house, it is necessary to use materials that form a protective layer on the lips to prevent the evaporation of moisture, and inside the home and offices, glycerin and hyaluronic acid cannot be used, because these materials become harmful.”
He noted that it is believed that the lips dry out and crack from lack of vitamins. But the reason may be its increase. “It may be a lack of vitamin A and a lack of vitamin among the causes of dry lips. But the problem of modern humans is not a lack of vitamins. Rather, phobias, paranoia, fear of aging and excessive intake of biologically active supplements and vitamins cause many health problems. For example, excessive intake of vitamin A causes dry lips.
Dr. Yedimsky noted that wearing masks does not lead to lip inflammation, and says, “Under the muzzle a greenhouse effect arises, and this does not aggravate lip inflammation. On the contrary, it may improve the condition. Because the humidity under the muzzle is higher. The medical mask has a greater effect on skin rashes, inflammatory elements and hypersensitivity.
