Summary
Explains why lips dry out faster than other skin areas due to lack of sweat glands and thinner skin.
Highlights
Lack of Sweat Glands
00:10
Lips lack sweat glands, which normally create oils to lock in moisture, causing them to dry out faster.
Thinner Skin
00:25
The skin on lips is thinner than elsewhere, making them more sensitive to cold air and wind.
Evaporation of Moisture
00:40
The combination of no sweat glands and thinner skin leads to quicker evaporation of moisture, leaving lips dry and cracked.
