How to Treat Chapped Lips with Image Skincare Ireland
Chapped lips are one of those annoying beauty woes that can strike anytime, especially when the weather gets dry, cold, or windy. Whether you’re dealing with seasonal dryness or persistent irritation, it’s more than a cosmetic issue. Dry lips can feel tight, uncomfortable, and even painful.
Luckily, your skincare routine can help. With the right nourishment and protection, lips can go from dry and flaky to soft, smooth, and healthy, and Image Skincare has some fantastic products designed to do exactly that.
Why Lips Get Chapped
Unlike the rest of your face, lips don’t have oil glands, which means they don’t naturally moisturise themselves. When moisture evaporates faster than it can be replaced, lips become dry, cracked, and chapped. Common causes include:
- Cold, dry weather
- Sun exposure
- Dehydration
- Licking your lips (as tempting as it seems!)
- Wind or salty air
Chapped lips can make lipsticks cling to dry skin or settle into fine lines. But with regular care and hydration, you can keep lips healthy and happy.
