The lips may easily become chapped and sore, especially after exposure to hot, cold, or windy weather. They are particularly vulnerable to chapping because, unlike skin elsewhere, they are no sebaceous (oil producing) glands and therefore lack a protective oily barrier.
Constantly wetting the lips is also likely to cause chapping. As the saliva dries, it can irritate the lips and increase their soreness. Always protect our lips against dryness by applying lip balm or salve. Or applying a little olive oil which has shooting properties and makes the skin more supple.
In some people deficiency of B vitamins is the cause of sore lips. Make sure we eat plenty of foods rich in this family of vitamins including whole grains, green vegetables and nuts.
