On our face, the nose and mouth are the first victims of external aggressions (cold, pollution, wind, UV rays ...) as they protrude and are therefore more exposed to natural agents than the other parts of the face.
The lips dehydrate quickly because they do not have sebaceous glands (glands found on the epidermis and which protect the skin).
