What makes lips peel?
Il vento, le temperature troppo calde, le lunghe esposizioni al sole o al freddo dell’inverno e l’aria secca degli ambienti climatizzati possono causare un forte stress alla sottile pelle delle labbra, che tendono così a diventare secche e screpolate.
Ci sono poi persone che hanno sempre labbra secche e rovinate, indipendentemente dalla stagione, e che tendono a sviluppare frequentemente labbra screpolate e persino fessure o veri e propri tagli con sanguinamento.
