Lip balms can't save lips

研究:唇膏加剧嘴唇脱水

You need your lips to talk, take duck-faceselfies and kiss your loved ones. That's why dry,chappedlips can not only beitchyand painful, they can sometimes bedownrightembarrassing.

与人交谈、嘟嘴自拍、亲吻爱的人，都离不开双唇。嘴唇干裂除了发痒和生疼，有时还会让人陷入特别尴尬的境地。

But repeatedly applying lip balmsand products may not help your case. Lip balms provide only temporary comfort, and some types can makescalylips even drier. That's because, in part, when the thin film of moisture from the lip balmevaporates, itdehydratesyour lips even more.

但是，频繁涂抹润唇膏和相关产品往往无济于事。润唇膏只能带来暂时的舒缓，有些唇膏甚至会让开裂起皮的嘴唇更加干燥。部分原因是，润唇膏的水薄膜蒸发后会加剧嘴唇脱水。

薄荷醇、水杨酸、肉桂醛和胡椒薄荷香料都是元凶。雅各布推荐膏体较厚、滋润效果好、且带SPF防晒系数的润唇膏，以真正保护唇部。她指出，甘油或者普通的老凡士林油都是不错的选择。
