@beautysecrets_au: Licking lips may seem like a harmless habit, but it can actually cause damage to the delicate skin of the lips. Saliva contains enzymes that can irritate the sensitive skin on the lips, potentially leading to a condition known as lip licker’s dermatitis. When you lick your lips, saliva evaporates quickly, stripping away the natural oils that keep your lips moisturised. Repetitive licking can create a cycle of dryness, chapping and irritation, potentially leading to scarring over time. Scar tissue on the lips can be unsightly and may impact the texture and appearance of the lips. To maintain healthy lips, it’s essential to avoid the habit of licking them and instead use a high-quality lip balm to keep them hydrated. If you experience persistent lip issues such as eczema or scarring, it’s advisable to seek advice from a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. #lipcare #skincare #damagedlips #moisturise #avoidlickinglips #eczema #scarring #lips #lipsbypenny #liplicking
