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 Glands
00:10

Lips lack sweat glands, which normally create oils to lock in moisture, causing them to dry out faster.

Thinner Skin

The skin on lips is thinner than elsewhere, making them more sensitive to cold air and wind.

Evaporation of Moisture

The combination of no sweat glands and thinner skin leads to quicker evaporation of moisture, leaving lips dry and cracked.
