A dermatologist warns about the use of a lip product that is very trendy recently but which would not be at all sufficient to hydrate them, especially in winter with the cold. Beware of chapped lips!
Skincare and makeup trends introduce us to great products, but it also happens that these new essentials are not the most recommended for solving our beauty concerns. This is particularly the case of a product dedicated to the beauty of lips many of which are used as anti-dry lipsbut which turns out to be insufficiently hydrating to be used in this way:lip oil.
As Dr. Adel explains, a dermatologist who shares his expertise on TikTok under the nickname @dermatology.doctor, in a video posted on his account: “lip oils are not not suitable for hydration”. Worse still, the expert says that you can apply it 10 times a day and still have dry lips because it is not a care product in the same way as a moisturizing lip balm. For her, “lip oils are pretty but don’t do much for hydration” When you have dry lips in winter, you absolutely must use other treatments to avoid having chapped lips.
