What should I do about dry, cracked, and peeling lips?

Dry, cracked, and peeling lips may be caused by various factors, such as dry climate, dehydration, malnutrition, or lip skin disorders. Below are some management and prevention suggestions: 1. Avoid direct sunlight: One possible cause is solar cheilitis caused by prolonged sun exposure. You should avoid direct sunlight as much as possible and reduce outdoor activities. 2. Stay hydrated: In dry seasons, skin peeling may occur due to dehydration. This phenomenon is usually not a cause for concern and can be effectively relieved by drinking more water, preferably warm water. 3. Avoid lip biting: Try not to habitually bite or lick your lips, as this may worsen peeling. 4. Nutritional supplementation: Increase your intake of foods rich in vitamin B2 and iron, such as lean meat, eggs, and leafy green vegetables, which can help improve the condition of your lips. 5. Avoid irritants: If your lips are particularly sensitive, avoid using oral care products containing alcohol or fragrances.
