Lifestyle Desk, New Delhi. As soon as the winter season starts, many skin related problems start appearing. One has to face everything from dryness of hands and feet to dryness of the face, but the most effect is visible on the lips.

The question is why in winter the effect is more visible only on the lips as compared to the rest of the body? In such a situation, let us tell you today about some reasons behind this and methods of prevention.
cold air and low humidity
In winter, cold and dry winds rapidly absorb moisture from the atmosphere. The cold air outside and the hot air from the heater or blower inside the house together further destroy the moisture of the lips. This has a direct effect on the soft skin of the lips, due to which they start stretching and develop cracks.
Thirst is less in winter, due to which people drink less water. The effect of lack of water in the body is directly visible on the lips. Due to dehydration, lips also become dry and cracked.
habit of licking lips
If you also lick your lips repeatedly in winter, it definitely provides relief for some time, but as soon as the saliva dries, the lips become more dry. The enzymes present in saliva damage the moisture of the lips, which increases the risk of cracking.
Let us tell you that deficiency of iron and vitamin B also causes dry and cracked lips, because these vitamins are necessary for repairing the health of the skin. In such a situation, adopt a healthy diet to keep the lips soft.
