The lips should be moist and of a pink healthy colour; this indicates good health and good circulation to the peripheral parts of the body. As the lips are extremely sensitive and have numerous sensory receptors they are often prone to allergic reactions from cosmetics, which can make them appear cracked, dry and sore looking. Also it is necessary to see whether the person produces sufficient saliva (see below), as this also aids lip moisture. How lips and mouth are held gives a good indication of how the person feels; tight pursed lips often indicate tension or unhappiness.
