If you are someone who wears lipstick or uses any type of lip treatments, remember that what you put on your lips will inevitably end up in your mouth (and you’ll swallow it). It’s worth taking a look at ingredients to ensure you’re okay with them. If you notice your tongue feels strange after use, you may wish to consider a new product. Also, remember that lipstick can stain your teeth if you aren’t careful about application!
When you wash your face, some amount of the cleanser ends up on your lips. This may be perfectly fine. Or, it may be a problem for your oral health, as it can dry out your lips. It can also end up in your mouth (keep your lips shut tight), irritating your mouth. Again, remind mindful of your technique and your product ingredients.
Are you using a topical medication, cream, moisturizer, or anything else on your face? It’s easy to keep it out of your mouth but it’s more difficult to keep it from contact with your lips. To protect your oral health (your lips are included, remember), be very careful about keeping products away from this delicate tissue.
