Windburn and Your Lips
Why do lips suffer more in cold, windy weather, and how can you protect them?
Why do cold and wind affect lips?
Lips have a thin and delicate structure. Cold weather and harsh wind can cause lips to lose moisture more quickly. This can create a feeling of dryness, tightness and cracking.
How can you tell it's windburn?
Lips may show dryness, redness, sensitivity, flaking and a burning sensation. These symptoms can increase especially in winter, by the sea or after staying outdoors for a long time.
How do you care for lips with Blistex?
Before going outside, you can apply a Blistex lip care product suited to your needs. Intensive care products can be preferred for dry, crack-prone lips, and moisturizing options for daily use.
What should you watch out for during the day?
Reapply your lip care product as needed. Avoid licking your lips and picking at cracks. In cold and windy weather, you can protect the lip area with a scarf or a high collar.
Why is regular care important?
Regular use of Blistex helps lips feel softer, well cared for and more comfortable. Especially in harsh weather conditions, small but regular care steps support lip comfort.
