In most cases, a person simply does not pay much attention to this problem, simply dismissing it as an annoying fly. And very vain, because the problem does not disappear anywhere. At best, it disappears for a while, hiding in the depths of the body. And the cracking of the lips will repeat again and again, and constantly worsen. At first the skin will simply peel off, then - crack, and after and at all "zaedy" will be your usual companion. So is it worth it to bring to this? After all, the more the situation is launched, the more difficult and more prolonged the treatment will be. 
Causes of Lip Cracking
Of course, nothing happens just like that, withoutcauses. And as everyone knows, in order to eliminate the investigation, first of all you need to eliminate the very reason. This truth is also relevant in this case. Therefore, before starting treatment, let's first understand what are the causes of the appearance of cracks on the lips.
- Dry skin
Excessive dryness of the skin on the lips is the mostfrequent cause of their cracking. There are many reasons why the skin of the lips can be dry. Firstly, it's cosmetic. Decorative lipstick and / or lip gloss are available in almost every woman's arsenal. But they contain a large number of dyes, which corrode the skin of the lips. Especially often this happens in the cold season. And women have to cure long and hard cracks. And even about frost and do not have to say - lipstick corpulcely stiffens and causes dry lips. Therefore, in the event that you do not under any pretext disagree with the use of cosmetics in the winter, then at least apply the first layer of hygiene lipstick. And in any case, do not forget about the need to cleanse the skin of the lips before bed. Very opportunely, and some moisturizer. In extreme cases, any vegetable oil.
- Allergy to toothpaste
Perhaps you will be surprised, but very often cracks inlips appear because of allergies and toothpaste. This is especially true for fluorine-containing pastes - they not only irritate the skin of the lips, but also lead to its dehydration. And people do not even know about their allergies. Therefore, the first thing to do when faced with lip cracking is to change your habitual toothpaste. Ideally, you should try toothpaste for the youngest children. However, do not wait for an immediate effect - watch the skin of your lips for at least a couple of weeks.
- Smoking

- The state of human health
In some cases, the condition of the lips is a reflection ofgeneral health. So, for example, sometimes cracking of lips can be a consequence of a lack of vitamins B and C, as well as an excess of vitamin A. Incidentally, in this case, not only the lips, but also the nails with hair. In this case, you will need a doctor's consultation, which will help you choose the best balanced diet and, if necessary, appoint a multivitamin complex. In some cases, cracks on the lips can be a direct consequence of various diseases - most often the organs of the gastrointestinal tract. More rarely - infectious diseases, herpes, candidiasis.
