Lip care
The skin on the lips has a different structure than that of the face and body. It is very thin and does not have a stratum corneum, sebaceous glands or sweat glands. Lacking a hydrolipidic film, it is less well protected from dehydration and therefore very sensitive. It is then necessary to strengthen its hydrolipidic film with fatty substances. To preserve its natural barrier and its hydration level, the use of a lip balm is therefore essential.
