Did

You Know?

The ancient

Egyptians were

true makeup artists.

Women and men alike colored their lips

with henna or a red, grease-containing

paste of cinnabar. By the way, the

red color for Cleopatra’s lip balm

came from a small snail

with a rich purple

shell.

Read My Lips

By looking at the lips, we

can see whether someone

is sulky, happy, sad, or

defensive. Many emotions

are revealed by the mouth and

shape of the lips. Even certain

character traits are associated with

the shape of the lips and the color you

select for lipstick.

So, whether they are naturally pink

like roses or red like cherries, it is no

mystery why the mouth has always

been emphasized with cosmetics.

DELICATE SKIN

Have you smiled today? If so, how

did your lips feel? Soft and supple, or

raw and brile?

The lips are one of the most sensitive

parts of the skin. The skin on the lips

is so thin and delicate that the tiny

blood vessels behind it can show

right through it, giving it a reddish

hue. Lips do not have any protective

hair, nor any sweat or fat glands.

This means that they can hardly

produce any moisture and that they

therefore dry out quickly. On top of

that, they cannot grease themselves.

The lips are seven times more

sensitive to touch than your

ﬁngertips. This is why you can sense

temperature diﬀerences most acutely

with your lips. It is also why chapped

lips can hurt so much.

CARE AND PAMPERING

The best way to care for your lips is

to avoid dry air, bright direct sunlight,

harsh winds, and cold weather. These

all have an unpleasant eﬀect on the lips.

When exposed, lips can become raw or

brile, and sometimes the thin skin can

crack or ﬂake oﬀ and start bleeding.

CHECK IT OUT

After you brush your

teeth, massage the

lips gently with the

toothbrush. This will

remove the tiniest

skin ﬂakes and also

make the skin of the

lips soft and rosy.
