Lips lack sebaceous glands, so their skin is more vulnerable to external influences and loses moisture faster. In this article, we will examine in detail the causes of dry lips, tell you which vitamins your body may be lacking, and review lip products from Librederm.
Dry lips: causes
Dry lips can be caused by various factors. Here are the main ones:
Weather conditions
Cold wind, frost, dry air and the scorching sun negatively affect the delicate skin of the lips, depriving it of moisture. In winter and summer, lips especially need protection.
Dehydration
Lack of water in the body immediately affects the condition of the lips. If you drink little fluid, the skin becomes dry and chapped.
Bad habits
Frequent licking of lips, smoking and drinking alcohol contribute to their drying out. Saliva, contrary to popular belief, does not moisturize the lips, but, on the contrary, dries them out.

Allergic reactions
Poor-quality cosmetics or food products can cause irritation and dryness. For example, some lipsticks contain aggressive components that disrupt the hydrolipidic balance of the skin.
Diseases
Problems such as cheilitis, eczema, or diabetes can also cause dry lips. If dryness is accompanied by cracks, inflammation, or itching, you should consult a doctor.
To avoid these problems, it is important not only to eliminate external factors, but also to provide proper care for your lips.
Dry lips: which vitamin is lacking
Dry lips often signal a vitamin deficiency in the body. Here are the main vitamins, the deficiency of which can lead to this problem:
Vitamin A
Responsible for skin regeneration. Its deficiency makes lips dry and chapped. Vitamin A is found in carrots, pumpkin, liver, and dairy products.
B vitamins (especially B2 and B6)
Their deficiency leads to peeling and cracking of the lips. These vitamins can be found in nuts, eggs, fish, and green vegetables.
Vitamin E
Protects the skin from external influences and moisturizes it. It is found in vegetable oils, avocados, and seeds.
Vitamin C
Strengthens the immune system and promotes wound healing. Its sources are citrus fruits, berries, and greens.
To replenish vitamin deficiency, include more fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains in your diet. You can also use special moisturizing lip gels, for example, from the Aevit line.

Very dry lips: what to do
If your lips have become very dry, it is important to take a comprehensive approach. Here are some tips:
Use moisturizing balms. For example, lip balms contain natural oils, vitamins, and hyaluronic acid, which intensively nourish and moisturize the skin.
Protect your lips from external influences. Before going outside, apply a protective balm with an SPF filter.
Drink more water. Maintaining the hydration balance in the body is the key to soft and healthy lips.
Exfoliate. Once a week, use a gentle lip scrub to remove dead cells.
Avoid bad habits. Stop licking your lips and quit smoking.
