When it comes to skincare, our lips often get left out of the conversation. Yet they’re one of the most delicate and exposed parts of our body. Whether you're battling dryness, cracking, or just aiming for that soft, kissable look, understanding lip health is essential.
Lips have thinner skin and no oil glands, making them more vulnerable to dryness and environmental damage. Healthy lips are not just about aesthetics, they also help with speech, eating, and expressing emotion. When neglected, they can become a source of discomfort and even pain.
Common Lip Problems
- Chapped or Dry Lips: Caused by cold weather, dehydration, licking lips frequently, or sun exposure.
- Cracking at the Corners (Angular Cheilitis): Often a result of a fungal or bacterial infection, vitamin deficiency, or excessive drooling.
- Cold Sores: Triggered by the herpes simplex virus, cold sores are contagious and can be extremely painful.
- Discoloration or Darkening: This can result from excessive sun exposure, smoking, or an allergic reaction

Daily Tips for Healthy Lips
1. Hydrate Inside and Out
Drinking enough water helps maintain moisture in your lips. Apply a hydrating lip balm with ingredients like oils, glycerin, or hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture. Make sure you offer your clients refreshments when they arrive to their appointment.
2. Exfoliate Gently
Dead skin build-up can lead to rough, flaky lips. Use a lip scrub (or a DIY sugar and honey mix) once or twice a week to keep your lips smooth. This is a lovely way to upgrade a facial or make up treatment, attention to detail will have clients singing your praises.
3. Protect with SPF
Just like your skin, your lips need sun protection. Choose a lip balm with SPF 15 or higher, especially when spending time outdoors.
4. Avoid Lip-Licking
While it may seem soothing, saliva evaporates quickly and leaves lips drier than before. Instead, apply SBC peptide lip balm when you feel the urge to lick.
When to See a Professional
If you experience persistent cracking, swelling, sores, or discoloration, it’s best to consult a dermatologist. These symptoms could indicate an underlying health condition or infection that needs treatment.

Lips deserve the same attention we give the rest of our face. With just a few small changes in daily routines and the help of nourishing products like the Hydra-Collagen Peptide Lip Treatment you can keep your lips soft, smooth, and youthful.
