Why Your Lips Get Dry
Share
Summary
Explains why lips dry out faster than other skin areas due to lack of sweat glands and thinner skin.
Highlights
Lack of Sweat Glands00:10
Lips lack sweat glands, which normally create oils to lock in moisture, causing them to dry out faster.
Thinner Skin00:25
The skin on lips is thinner than elsewhere, making them more sensitive to cold air and wind.
Evaporation of Moisture00:40
The combination of no sweat glands and thinner skin leads to quicker evaporation of moisture, leaving lips dry and cracked.
