Question

I've noticed this dryness on the skin just above my upper lip and right below my lower lip. The weird thing is, my actual lips arent dry, just the skin around them. This is the first time its happened and I haven't had this kind of dryness before. There's no itching and the skin isnt peeling either. I wash my face about twice or three times a day, so I'm not sure what's causing it. Do you have any idea what might be going on, and how I can fix it? Plus, are there any ways to prevent it from happening again?

Dryness in the areas around the lips could be due to several reasons such as environmental factors, excessive washing, or even certain skincare products. To help with this issue, you can try using a gentle moisturizer like Aquaphor Healing Ointment. Apply a thin layer on the dry areas above and below your lips twice a day. Additionally, you can use a lip balm with SPF to protect your lips from further dryness, such as Blistex Lip Medex. Make sure to drink an adequate amount of water to stay hydrated and avoid excessive washing of the face.
