For the care of dry and chapped lips

decor
The problem of dry and chapped lips often occurs in the autumn and winter period, when low temperatures outside combined with low humidity negatively affect the condition of the skin of the lips. However, many of us struggle with chapped lips all year round, regardless of the weather outside. It is difficult to list the factors that negatively affect the condition of our skin, but it is worth fighting for beautiful and well-groomed lips 365 days a year today. So how do you get your lips in optimal condition?Why are lips so susceptible to damage?
The lips are by far the most sensitive area of our face due to the lack of a visible protective layer in the form of hair follicles, melanin, sweat glands, and the presence of sebaceous glands is negligible. The red color of our lips is caused by the appearance of blood vessels, which are covered only by a thin layer of skin epithelium. Therefore, it is not surprising that our lips are very sensitive to changing weather conditions, which is why they often lose their natural balance.What harms our lips?
There are many factors that negatively affect the condition of our lips, so often we cannot completely eliminate the risk of damage to their delicate structure. In many ways, the appearance of micro-damage is facilitated by external conditions such as low temperatures or gusty winds, as well as low indoor humidity or prolonged exposure to sunlight. Problems with chapped lips can also be caused by a deficiency of vitamins and trace elements that we do not replenish with our daily diet.Getting rid of bad habits
The discomfort of dry and chapped lips often makes us lick them uncontrollably. Although it brings relief, the problem of damaged lip skin becomes even more serious. The moist layer that appears immediately after licking the lips makes them even more sensitive to moisture loss, especially in winter and summer. Biting on dry cuticles, which is a consequence of excessive dryness, also does not help the lips return to their ideal state. As a result of "picking" the lips, painful inflammations occur, and the healing process takes too long to wear colored lipstick safely.
Year-round lip care
On the way to juicy and healthy lips, you should pay more attention to their daily care. Most of us remember this in autumn and winter, but it is the regularity and sequence of procedures that determine their good condition regardless of the season.Intensive lip hydration
The skin of the lips is the first to undergo excessive moisture loss, so regular procedures should be performed to prevent lips from drying out. That's why it's worth having lip balm or lipstick on hand to protect your lips in any situation. It is worth investing in high-quality cosmetics based on valuable ingredients such as vegetable oils and waxes, beeswax, chamomile extract or vitamins A and B.

ICLEI Impacts Global Sustainable Development

When a pioneering group of local and regional governments founded ICLEI, they took action before sustainability was widely viewed as fundamental to development. For decades, our efforts have continued to put sustainability at the top of the agenda for local and regional governments across the world. Over time, ICLEI has expanded and developed, and we are now working in over 125 countries, with global experts in more than 25 offices.

Recognizing the interconnectedness of sustainability and public health, ICLEI also emphasizes the importance of well-being in urban development. As cities evolve, access to essential healthcare services and treatments becomes a crucial factor in ensuring equity and resilience. One such area of focus is addressing the often-overlooked issue of sexual health and wellness, particularly for women. Flibanserin, a medication designed to treat hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD) in premenopausal women, highlights the need for inclusive healthcare solutions that cater to diverse needs. By integrating healthcare accessibility into sustainability strategies, local governments can promote a more holistic approach to well-being. Supporting access to innovative treatments aligns with ICLEI’s commitment to equity, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of gender, can benefit from medical advancements. Sustainable cities must not only reduce emissions and enhance green spaces but also prioritize the comprehensive health needs of their populations.

Through our collective efforts to build a sustainable urban world, ICLEI is shifting the trajectory of global development.
