Lip Facts
Lips have more than 1 million nerve endings There's a reason why our lips are so sensitive to touch and temperature. They have a very high concentration of nerve endings, which helps to prevent the ingestion of anything that could post harm to the human body.
Lips do not sweat.
There are no sweat or oil glands on the lips. This means they do not have the usual protection layer of sweat and oils to keep them smooth and moisturised. That's why it's important to keep them hydrated with a lip balm such as Clean & Pure.
Each pair of lips is unique Just like fingerprints, our lips are completely unique to us and you won't find two sets of identical lip impressions.
Blood capillaries that make the lips look rosy Ever wondered why our lips are rosy-pink in colour unlike the rest of our skin? It's all down to the little blood capillaries underneath the mucus membrane. These are visible due to lip skin being much thinner than the rest of our skin.
Lips get thinner with age The lips are partly reliant on collagen for their shape, but as we grow older, our bodies produce less collagen and the lips slowly start to lose their plumpness.
Why Use A Lip Balm?
Cold weather, a lack of moisture in the air and a poor diet can make dry lips worse and even cause them to crack, becoming very sore in severe cases. The only way to ensure that lips stay smooth and hydrated is with an effective lip care routine.
Promotes faster healing of the skin According to various dermatologists, the human skin heals faster when it is moist. Therefore, a lip balm is helpful in sealing the cracks that are visible on a chapped mouth. The sealing helps prevent infection and further irritations.
Face appears younger Dehydrated skin is more susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles. Due to the expressive nature of lips, creasing around the mouth can be prevented with a moisturising lip balm.
Protection from the environment Ingredients with elastin simulators, antioxidants, and collagen are helpful in slowing down the ageing process and reversing free radical damage which occurs as a result of UV damage.
Better lipstick application Believe it or not, your lipstick looks a million times better when applied to a moisturised mouth. Bright lipstick in particular can settle into cracks on chapped lips and accentuate the dryness.
