“Lip Care in Ayurveda” Soft and smooth lips among the indicators of physical beauty. Lip care is not only applicable to women; small children and men too must take care of the lips on a regular basis. Unlike skin on the other parts of the body , the lip skin lacks oil glands; causing them to become dry and cracked easily. During winter season the lips require more attention. According to Ayurveda the dryness of lips is caused by an excess of Vata. Excessive consumption of vata increasing diet and wrong lifestyle vitiates vata.In winter season the cold and dry climate increases the vata leading to cracked lips. Dark colour lips are yet another problem faced by lot of people.
