As one ages, it is common to see dry and chapped lips. Lips don’t contain oil glands which means lips are more likely to drying out and becoming chapped/cracked. This can result in uneven distribution of the lipstick in the cracks.
The common causes of dry lips:
– Frequent sun exposure
– Habitual licking (as saliva can further remove the moisture from lips which causing more dryness)
– Less humidity in air (winter)
