Quem é próximo a mim desde a época da ANCOP talvez se recorde de uma coluna que queria pôr no site, relacionada à pseudociência nos cosméticos. Pois bem. Eis que alguém aqui recomentou o skepchick e no
fórum deles eu achei o seguinte site:

Dry, Chapped Lips—Not a Pretty Picture
[...]
Have you ever wondered why lips can turn blue in the winter? It’s because in extremely cold weather or when body temperature drops, blood vessels in the lips shut down, becoming poorly oxygenated, making the lips look blue as a result. Lips also have minimal to no sebaceous glands and zero sweat glands. Water loss on the lips is three to ten times higher than other parts of the face or body (Source: British Journal of Dermatology, March 2004, pages 563-567). These physiological facts combined with climate changes (winter dryness, living in an arid climate), all contribute to making dry lips a recurring, persistent problem.

One of the major causes of dry lips is sun damage (Source: Dermatologic Surgery, February 2005, pages 173-176) which can occur even when it’s cloudy and you’re not in bright sunlight. That means during the day a well formulated emollient lip balm, lip gloss, or lipstick with an SPF 15 of greater with the UVA protecting ingredients of titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, or avobenzone (butylmethoxydibenzoylmethane) is vital.

One other thing to be aware of: Using a matte lipstick or one of the new long-wearing lipstains can also cause dry lips any time of year but even more so during the winter or in an arid environment.
Cheilitis, the medical term for dry lips, can be caused from other factors besides a change in the weather: Dry scaling of the lips and cracks at the side of the mouth are common in riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency. Similar findings may be seen with niacin and B6 deficiency (Source: Pocketguide to Micronutrients In Health and Disease, Dr. Robert Zimmerman, 1999, Thieme). This type of dryness can also be caused by a yeast (candida) infection (diabetics are particularly prone to this condition). Treatment with an oral anti-yeast medication, (such as Nystatin Oral Solution, available by prescription only) may help. Too much vitamin A (more than 25,000 IU) in oral supplements may cause lips to become severely chapped (Source: www.emedicine.com). Lastly, those taking the prescription anti-acne drug Accutane should have been informed (and have no doubt experienced) just how dry lips become while on this medication so they’ll need to take extra care.
