UNCOVERING THE SECRETS TO SMOOTH, BEAUTIFUL LIPS

Lip care is a vital part of any skin care routine and learning how your lips work is the key to keeping them healthy and beautiful.

The importance of our lips

It’s essential to remember the many different jobs our lips have and why this means they need special care.

The lip structure: How is it different from normal skin?

It’s obvious that the skin on your lips is different to the rest of the skin on your face because your lips have a very different role to play.
Firstly, the upper layer of skin on your lips is much thinner and more delicate with just 3-4 layers of skin, compared with 15-16 layers on the rest of your face. One big difference between the skin on our lips and the rest of our skin is that our lip skin does not contain any sweat glands or hair follicles. This can mean that the lips don’t get as much moisture or oils and dry out much more quickly. Using a moisturising lip balm like NIVEA lip original care on a daily basis will help replenish this moisture and keep lips looking beautiful. So how can you get lips that look and feel smooth and beautiful? Keep reading
