7. Sore lips from lack of self-care

“It’s not just the teeth and gums that suffer when going through a burnout stage, your lips can also feel the brunt of it and can become really dry, chapped, cracked or bruised from stress. Dry or cracked lips may also be down to a lack of self-care as a lot of overworked people forget to apply lip balm, salve or moisturiser, and this can worsen over the winter months. But you may also find your lips starting to look cut and bruised – this can be from lip biting and nipping of the skin. If you’re not drinking enough water throughout the day this will also have adverse effect on your lips, preventing them from being hydrated, healthy and moisturised.”
