Introducing SkinCeutical Lip Repair Complex.

Skin Ceutical Lip repair. 

The lips form a part of the central triangle of the face. They very often react to the changes of the seasons quicker than any other skin on your face.

1. The lip anatomy presents specific challenges when it comes to care. Repeated application of a hydrating antioxidant helps to prevent premature lip tissue wrinkling, maintain the structure of the lip and smooth the surface.
2. Our lips have more than a million nerve endings but do not have a defensive membrane for protection so require constant hydration and moisture.
3. Lips have no sebaceous glands, this leads to a constant need for moisture. Saliva is the only source of moisture but leads to chapping and dryness, magnifying signs of ageing.
4. There is no melanin present in lip skin so there is no protection from UV exposure. Lips can develop sun spots and skin cancer regardless of Fitzpatrick type.
5. Environmental ageing can cause the vermilion borders of the lips to lose their youthful outline, sometimes forming deep vertical lines above the lip.
6. Lips have a thinner stratum corneum to that on the face, which needs reinforcement. Lip skin typically has three to five cellular layers, facial skin has approximately 16 cellular layers. For this reason, the visible blood capillaries give the lips their red-pink pigment.
