Peeling lips can feel uncomfortable and make lipstick look uneven or patchy.
The good news is that a simple lip care routine can dramatically improve the appearance of your lips overnight.
Why Lips Start Peeling
The skin on your lips is extremely delicate and lacks oil glands, which means it loses moisture quickly.
Common causes include:
• cold weather
• dehydration
• lip licking
• dead skin buildup
