Lips crack before hands in May heat: the skin barrier order most Indians never learned
• May's heat often leads to cracked lips before dry hands, a skin barrier order many Indians don't know.
• Lips are vulnerable due to thin skin and lack of oil glands.
• Hydration, sun protection, and a tailored skincare routine are crucial.
Why It's Important?
The skin barrier, or stratum corneum, is the outermost layer of our skin. It protects against environmental stressors like UV radiation, pollution, and extreme temperatures. In India, the combination of high temperatures and humidity can severely impact this barrier.
