Dry Lips Vs. Face Mask

Most of us have heard of the term "Maskne". Which is acne around the area that we wear our face masks. Have you noticed a change in your lips as well? Wearing a face mask can cause dry, irritated, chapped lips; these are problems that are often overlooked. Our LiPro system can restore the moisture in your lips and prevent negative effects of wearing a mask.

Here are a few reasons our lips are getting this way.

One of the first reasons is DEHYDRATION! As we wear these masks, sometimes for hours at a time, we "forget" to drink our water, or it is simply is more of a chore to remove our PPE in some of our professions. Another major problem is the trapped warm, moist air/breath inside of our masks. Lastly, a lot of us chose not to wear any lip balm or hydrating lip treatments because we don't want it to stick to our masks.

There are three ways to easily to treat dry lips at home using Vermillions LiPro System.

1. Vegan Lip Scrub (Exfoliate) - This will remove any dry dead skin, promotes natural collagen production, and increases blood flow & circulation.
2. Lip Mask (Condition) - This will help soothe, hydrate, and repair damaged skin cells.
3. Vermattified Serum (Hydrate) - This will nourish and rejuvenate the lips.

We recommend doing this 3 step treatment 1-2 per week. The Vermattified Serum is a great addition to your nightly routine. The same way you would brush your teeth or apply moisturizer. It also can be worn during the day under your mask (without having to worry about it sticking to it). This serum absorbs quickly into your lips and leaves them feeling moisturized and protected.

Our skins purpose is to lock in hydration. Most areas of the body have 15-20 layers of skin. Our lips only have 3-6 layers making them extremely vulnerable to water loss.
