The most effective lip products (photo: @comfortzonerussia) Winter is hard for everyone, including the delicate skin of the lips, which suffers from sudden temperature changes and strong, gusty winds. In a couple of minutes on the street, lips can become chapped and begin to peel - this is in the best case, and in the worst case, cracks will appear on them. You can prevent these problems by simply remembering to apply protective cream, balm or hygienic lipstick 15 minutes before leaving the house. By the way, some of them can replace lip primer, making application easier and increasing the durability of lipstick.

Chanel Le Lift Lip and Contour Cream
Cream for lips and their contour Chanel Le Lift Cream for lips and their contour Le Lift is a unique product that instantly gets to work and does it perfectly. It moisturizes, neutralizing dryness and flaking, increases elasticity, smoothes and gives a pronounced anti-aging effect. The fact is that highly concentrated alfalfa extract acts on delicate skin according to the principle of retinol, but more gently, and oligopeptides restore elasticity and replenish the lack of volume. In addition, the cream can also be applied to the nasolabial folds, after some time after constant use, the creases will become less noticeable.
Causes of cracked lips
The lip product is designed to combat small cracks, chapping and flaking caused by insufficient tissue hydration. The absence of the stratum corneum and sebaceous glands makes the surface of the epithelium of the lips very sensitive to any weather fluctuations.
All the causes of chapping, dryness and flaking can be divided into the following:
Causes | Description |
Seasonal, associated with changing seasons |
|
Medical reasons |
|
Caused by mechanical stress and improper nutrition |
|
In addition to external factors, internal processes of the body can also negatively affect the condition of the skin of the lips, including a deficiency of vitamin B, healthy fats and Omega 3, as well as malocclusion.
During the off-season, not only the surface of the skin suffers from dehydration and cracks, but also the corners of the lips, where small injuries (races) are formed, causing discomfort when talking and smiling. The reasons for their formation are the same as for peeling skin, plus a visit to the dentist that requires you to open your mouth wide, hypothermia, and incorrect wearing of braces.

- Promises: to moisturize, smooth out wrinkles, heal the skin, increase microcirculation, nourish, give elasticity.
- Contains: triple DNA (a molecule enriched with three macroelements: calcium, sodium, magnesium, which retains moisture 10,000 times its own weight), synthesized peptides, ginseng extract, propolis, avocado oil, borage, jojoba.
Shortly before my birthday, every year I add a little injectable filler to my lips - not for volume, but rather for smoothness, definition of the contour and overall well-groomed appearance. But this time I even postponed going to the cosmetologist - my lips, in my opinion, now look good.
This product is truly multifunctional. Smoothness, color, elasticity, hydration, protection - all five plus. Heals perfectly and does not sting damaged skin at all.
The bottle is weighty and beautiful. True, you won’t be able to apply the product with your fingertips throughout the day, as the instructions advise - these same pads are not always perfectly clean. So I leave it for the morning and evening, and keep something more suitable for hiking in my bag.
One more detail - the cream has a taste. If you've ever had a drop of whey in your mouth, for example, you know what I mean. There is nothing terrible about this, but if you don’t like it, then it’s better not to lick your lips unnecessarily :)

- apply a thin layer of ointment to the anus before going to bed;
- the area of influence from above is covered with a bandage and fixed with an adhesive plaster;
- When treating internal nodes, a tampon is soaked in ointment, which is then inserted into the anus.

Use of Levomekol ointment in gynecology

In gynecology, therapy is carried out using tampons with ointment applied to them. A similar method is indicated for the treatment of the following conditions:
- inflammatory erosion of the cervix;
- inflammation of the uterine appendages (ovaries, fallopian tubes);
- divergence of vaginal sutures after ruptures during childbirth or operations.
The treatment system consists of the following sequence of actions:
- before use, a woman must thoroughly wash and dry the skin of the treatment area and perineum;
- if therapy is used after the divergence of vaginal sutures or after operations, then the sutures must be treated with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or furatsilin;
- you need to make a small cotton swab, put an ointment on top of it measuring 15 mm x 15 mm, and 5 mm high;
- insert into the vagina at night and remove in the morning;
- if therapy is used after the divergence of vaginal sutures or after operations, then the ointment is applied to a gauze bandage and applied to the sutures. Then put on clean underwear (if necessary, you can additionally use a pad). The dressing remains on for 2 to 6 hours.
Using the method described above, the active substance of the ointment is delivered to the affected area and absorbed into the surrounding vaginal tissue.
In urology, Levomekol is used in the treatment of balanitis and balanoposthitis in men, as it has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. The treatment system consists of the following sequence of actions:

Levomekol in the treatment of wounds
Levomekol helps heal damaged tissue and prevents infection of the wound surface. Moreover, it is not so important whether the wound has festered or not. If the wound is not purulent, then first the affected area is treated with an antiseptic. The ointment is applied in a thin layer overnight, then it must be covered with a sterile gauze cloth and secured with a bandage. Most often, wound treatment is required once a day.
If the wound festers, then using cotton-gauze swabs moistened with an antiseptic, the pus and secreted secretions are removed. Then Levomekol ointment is applied to the wound - it should be completely filled, but not too tightly. The affected area is covered with a gauze cloth, also soaked in ointment. As for the frequency of changing the bandage, it all depends on the amount of pus released. Usually a double dressing is sufficient.
And if the wound is deep and accompanied by an infectious lesion, then Levomekol is preheated to 35 degrees Celsius, then a sterile napkin is soaked in ointment (several can be used if the affected area is large) and injected into the lesion. If the affected area is large, use several napkins with Levomekol. It is important that the wound is filled completely, but not too tightly.
Note that to administer the medication into puncture and deep wounds, it is better to use a rubber drainage tube, and inject the heated ointment itself using a syringe.
The duration of therapy usually lasts from 5 to 10 days.

Treatment of cheilitis
Treatment of the disease depends on the causes of its occurrence. For example, to treat allergic cheilitis, drugs are used that reduce the body’s sensitivity to allergens - antihistamines, as well as vitamins. Zinc ointment, anti-inflammatory creams containing glucocorticoids, salicylic acid, and sulfur are used externally. Avoid substances that irritate the mucous membrane of the mouth and lips. After eating, rinsing with chamomile infusion or soda is useful. To determine the allergen, it is necessary to conduct allergy tests.
For fungal cheilitis, antifungal drugs are prescribed in combination with vitamin B2 and ascorbic acid. An examination by a dentist and, if necessary, complete sanitation of the oral cavity and thorough treatment of problem areas with oil solutions of vitamins are recommended. To prevent relapses, a diet with limited carbohydrates is prescribed. In the treatment of exfoliative cheilitis, corticosteroid and photoprotective ointments, 2% boric salicylic acid ointment are widely used. In the presence of an exudative form of exfoliative cheilitis, Bucca radiation is effective.
Diagnosis of this disease is carried out by several doctors: a therapist, a dentist, an allergist. A combination of systemic (general) and topical (local) drug therapy produces a good effect.
