Where does the dead skin on the lips come from?

1. Lack of moisture. Since the lips themselves do not have many sebaceous glands and are particularly sensitive to the increasingly dry low-temperature environment, it is normal to experience dryness and dehydration. Since the skin on the lips has poor resistance, peeling will generally occur when there is severe dehydration.

2. Lack of vitamins. If the corners of the mouth start to become dry and cracked, and there is white discharge from the corners of the mouth, it is mostly due to nutritional deficiencies, especially riboflavin, iron, and protein deficiencies. Eat more fruits and vegetables to avoid a partial eclipse, and you can also supplement vitamins appropriately.
