Why Are the DIY Lip Products Unique?
For example, the skin on the lips (1) does not contain any sebaceous glands, and (2) does not contain any hair follicles. Since there are no sebaceous oil glands in the lips, they can easily dry out. To help keep them moisturized, we have to apply lip products to help keep them conditioned and moisturized. Otherwise, the only natural moisture the lips receive comes from the air and from our saliva when we lick our lips. The different DIY lip products can exfoliate, moisturize, and draw moisture from the air to the lips.
Then too, (3) the outermost protective layer of skin on the lips is much thinner than the same layer of skin on other parts of the body. For example, the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet have a very thick layer of skin.
So, with all that said, it is no wondering why it can be a challenge to keep smooth and moist lips in the cold and dry winter weather. Therefore, the DIY lip products are truly unique skin care products. This concludes the DIY Lip Products page.
