Causes and solutions for dry lips during pregnancy

Many women experience physical changes during pregnancy. Since the mother's health at this time is related to the health of the child, pregnant women tend to be more worried about certain changes in their bodies. Some pregnant women may experience dry lips. So what is going on? What should you do if your lips become dry during pregnancy? Let’s follow the editor to find out.

1. Cracked lips are a sign of Yin deficiency and excessive fire. The moisture level of the lips is also an external reflection of the physical condition. Dryness and cracking are caused by damage to body fluids and loss of moisture in the lips; lip erosion and ulcers around the lips are mostly signs of riboflavin deficiency or excessive heat in the spleen and stomach and yin deficiency and hyperactivity of fire.

Countermeasures:

If cracks or fissures appear on your lips, you should eat fresh vegetables rich in vitamins, but do not eat too many oranges, because oranges are aromatic and warm fruits. Eating too much can easily cause "heatiness" and make your lips drier. You can stew 50 grams of white fungus and 10 red dates with rock sugar and drink it 3 or 4 times a day. Or you can massage your lips frequently. Just dip a cotton pad in some honey, apply it on your lips, and then gently massage with your fingers before going to bed every night. This can help promote blood circulation, allow your lips to get oxygen, increase nutrition, and become moisturized.

2. Lack of vitamins and water. Dryness and cracking at the corners of the mouth is a sign of vitamin deficiency.

Countermeasures:

You should supplement more vitamins, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid picky eating. Lack of moisture or dry mouth due to talking too much can lead to dry lips, causing dead skin to accumulate on the lips or corners of the mouth. At this time, you should drink more water and keep your lips clean. When the lip skin is raised, do not tear it with your hands, as this can easily tear the lips, causing pain and bleeding. You can use small scissors to carefully cut off the raised skin on your lips in front of a mirror. When it is windy or cold, the skin surface is not supplied with enough moisture, and the moisture is absorbed by the dry air. The lips are most likely to dry out, so it is best to apply colorless lip balm or lip oil regularly. In addition, you should pay attention to changing the habit of licking your lips or wetting your lips with saliva, because doing so will evaporate the moisture in your lips.
