What Causes Dry, Chapped Lips?

In the story below, a family gets stranded at the Denver airport. ONE skin care product would have been totally necessary: LIP BALM.   Read it and see if you can find the 6+ reasons MadeOn Lip Balm would have saved the day...

 

You're stranded in the Denver airport with hundreds of other travelers along with your toddler, your father-in-law (with his blood pressure medication), your husband (who suffers from sleep apnea), your bag of toiletries, a few oranges, and hopefully a reservation for the Holiday Inn if they have room for your family until the next available flight. 

 

Did you find at least 6 causes of dry, chapped lips in the story? If you can make 8 out of it, you get bonus points.

Here are 8 causes of chapped lips:

 

1. The outdoor elements: wind, sun and cold weather.

2. Your toddler has this habit of licking his lips, yet the more he does this, the more chapped they become.

3. Your hotel room has central heat, not heat from a fireplace. Unfortunately, it’ll chap those lips.

4. Medications, especially those from prescription medication like Accutane (for acne or wrinkles) or propranolol for blood pressure, causes chapped lips.

5. Acidity in fruit, tomatoes and cinnamon gum can irritate the lips.

6. If your toothpaste contains sodium lauryl sulfate or guaiazulene, or if your lipstick has propyl gallate, your lips might be reacting to these ingredients.

7. Having air constantly pass over your lips can dry them out, so for your husband’s sleep apnea, he’ll need his lip balm.

8. A thyroid or autoimmune disease may cause your lips to dry out. So can too much vitamin A (watch the supplements!).
