Why does my mouth feel drier after using lip mask? Why does my mouth hurt after using lip mask?

Lip masks are used to maintain our lips. Many female friends who wear lipstick every day will also cause certain damage to our lips. But the more you use the lip mask, the drier your lips feel. What is going on?

The more you use lip mask, the drier your lips become because you become dependent on it. Your lips rely on the lip mask to lock in and replenish moisture, and you become lazy. Once you stop using the lip mask, your lips will feel particularly dry.

Under normal circumstances, lips are moisturized and do not require additional moisture. However, sometimes when the weather is dry, you drink less water or you get a sore throat, your lips will become dry and flaky. At this time, you need external help to provide nutrients to your lips.

It should be noted that this external force only provides nutrients to the lips temporarily and does not need to be used all the time. The lips themselves have the function of moisturizing and can be self-sufficient under normal circumstances. Once external force intervenes, this balance will be broken.

Lip masks can indeed provide nutrition for the lips, but they are based on isolating the air and reducing moisture evaporation. Normally, the lips will evaporate a certain amount of moisture. While the lip mask replenishes moisture, it forcibly suppresses the evaporation of moisture from the lips themselves. When the lip mask is wiped off, the suppressed moisture will evaporate all at once, so the lips will feel particularly dry.

Moreover, lips can normally moisturize themselves. If you frequently use lip masks to moisturize your lips, your lips will become dependent and lazy, which will reduce their own moisture and increase evaporation. Once you stop using the lip mask, the moisture in your lips will be insufficient.

1. Lips are too dry. The main ingredients of lip mask are hyaluronic acid, olive oil, and other very moisturizing ingredients. These ingredients have a good moisturizing effect and can make the lips more moisturized. However, if the lips are in a very dry state and are suddenly injected with water from the outside, that is, if the lip mask is suddenly used, the dehydrated cells will swell and expand due to the absorption of water. This is a process with a certain degree of irritation. Because of this irritation, our lips will feel slight pain, which is a normal phenomenon.

2. Wounds on the lips. Lips are prone to keratinization due to eating and talking, and the lips are often exposed, and no other protective measures can be taken, so wounds are easily left. Cracked lips will also leave wounds. These small wounds may not be seen, but if a lip mask is applied on the lips, it will cause a certain amount of pain.

3. Lip mask irritation. There are many brands and types of lip masks. Different brands of lip masks contain different ingredients, and everyone's skin type is different, so the tolerance to this type of lip mask is also different. If the lip mask we buy happens to have certain ingredients that irritate our skin, then it will cause pain.

4. Using inferior lip masks. There are many types of lip masks, and people are often unable to accurately identify the quality of the film. If you buy the wrong lip mask and choose an inferior product, you will feel a stinging pain in your mouth when using it. This is because some ingredients in the lip mask are harmful to the human body and cause irritation to the lips.

Decide whether to wash it according to the situation. There are two types of lip masks: one is a cream lip mask and the other is a lip mask. Generally, lip masks need to be washed after use, but cream lip masks do not need to be washed after use. Most cream lip masks are wash-free lip masks and are non-irritating to the lips. However, lip masks are like lip masks. When applied to the mouth, they will feel sticky. If you are not used to it, you will not be able to sleep if you apply a lip mask all night, which will affect your sleep quality. It is recommended to wash it 15 minutes after application, and then apply a layer of lip balm overnight.

1. Lip masks for removing dead skin from the lips generally contain finer particles, which can help gently remove the aging cuticle on the surface of the lips.

2. Moisturizes the lip skin. The lip mask contains functional ingredients that moisturize the lips. Using the lip mask can concentrate on moisturizing the lip skin, making the lips soft and elastic.

3. Eliminate lip lines. The formation of lip lines is related to lip nutrition deficiency, dryness and dehydration. Using a lip mask can replenish the nutrients needed by the lip skin, moisturize the lips, improve dryness, and thus help alleviate and eliminate lip lines.

4. Improve lip color. People with dark lip color can use lip mask to lighten the lip color. Especially after using the lip mask, you can clearly feel that the lips become fuller and moisturized. In addition, people with dull lip color can also use lip mask to revitalize their lips.
