Here's why you should NEVER lick, or pick your lips! 👄⁠ ⁠ If your lips are feeling dry or chapped, avoid licking them! While licking may provide some relief at the time, the saliva will evaporate very quickly, leaving them dryer than before. Your saliva is also full of enzymes that are harsh on your delicate lips and remain on the skin after the saliva has dried, causing them to become irritated and uncomfortable.⁠ ⁠ When lips are dry and flakey, you may be tempted to pick at them. Frequent picking can cause irritation, sores, scabbing and scarring. Picking your lips can also expose them to germs and infection.⁠ ⁠ So, what should you do instead? Always have a lip oil or balm on hand, such as our ultra-nourishing Green Goddess Lip Oil! ⁠ ⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ .⁠ #goodbyedrylips #drylipsproblem #drycrackedlips #nodrylips #drylipsnomore #goodforyourskin #allnaturalskincare #skincarethatworks #lipoil #ediblebeautyau
