Source The vermilion border is the area where your lips meet the surrounding skin, effectively linking the facial epidermis to that of the lips. Interestingly, the stratum corneum of your lips contains approximately eleven to thirteen times fewer layers than the skin on your face. Additionally, the skin on your lips lacks sebaceous and sweat glands, which are responsible for producing protective oils against external environmental factors. Brascal Wild’s Lip Philosophy emphasizes that caring for this sensitive area is not only visually appealing but also essential for overall comfort. Brascal Wild suggests starting by cleaning your lips with warm water, followed by gently patting them dry with a clean towel. Next, apply our lip balm making sure the whole area of your lips are covered and let your lips simply be. We advise against licking or touching your lips at all. From our own personal experience, we genuinely believe that your lips will feel wonderfully beautiful. Lip Skin Anatomically, your lips consist of an upper and lower pair, known medically as the labium superius oris and labium inferius oris (in Latin). The Cupid's bow refers to the curve of your upper lip, which resembles the shape of a recurve bow traditionally associated with the Roman god Cupid (the Greek equivalent being Eros).
