Why are lip care products so important? Your lips are delicate, and the thinnest skin on your body. Your lips are 3-5 cell layers thick. Compared to the skin on your face, which can be up to 16 cell layers thick.
Unlike the skin on the rest of your body, they do not contain any sweat glands. Sweat glands produce a hydrolipidic film, which is your skin’s natural ‘bodyguard.’ It keeps the skin hydrated by forming a shield that protects against external aggressors like bacteria and cold weather. They draw moisture away from the body. Your lips don’t contain melanin (so they don’t have natural protection from the sun). They are the most sensitive part of your body, with over 1 million nerve endings! So when they’re damaged, it’s extra painful!
They can’t protect themselves like the rest of your skin. So they need extra care to reduce the risk of chapped and cracked lips – which are at best unsightly, but also very painful. So how should men take care of their lips? That’s where Men’s Lip Balm and Men’s Lip Moisturiser come in.
