Four Amazing Lip Treatments for Smoother Healthier Lips
Incorporating lip treatments into one’s skincare routine can be a game-changer for those with chronic chapped lips. While lip balms bring us temporary relief throughout the day, lip masks are designed to improve our lip health over time. A good lip mask that is rich in antioxidants and moisturizing ingredients plays a big role in anti-aging skincare.
Fine lines inevitably become more prominent on our lips as a part of the natural aging process. By applying an overnight lip treatment, you wake up with softer, plumped lips after the ingredients have been absorbed. Then, you can seal in that moisture with your daily lip balms, thereby minimizing fine lines and dry patches. We compiled a list of our favorite lip masks for you to choose from.
Milk Makeup’s Melatonin Overnight Lip Mask is an intense and effective treatment. The antioxidant effect comes from topical melatonin, Persian silk tree extract, and a nutrient-rich berry blend. On the other hand, powerful hydration is provided by hyaluronic acid. Apply this $25 lip mask on clean and dry lips for amazing results in the morning.
Kiehl’s Buttermask Lip Smoothing Treatment is a rich cream made up of a combination of natural butter and oils. Its main ingredient, coconut oil, is rich in antioxidants and fatty acid that heals your skin from environmental damage. The mango butter further hydrates and reduces the look of fine lines. We recommend this $26 treatment for its perfect texture that isn’t oily or slippery.
Nars’s Orgasm Lip Mask is inspired by the look of their iconic Orgasm shade. Designed to bring life to your lips, this mask utilizes nutrient-rich echium and sunflower oils to protect and hydrate. If you are a fan of their Orgasm collection, check out this $28 lip mask.
Ilia’s Lip Wrap Clean Hydrating Lip Mask provides moisture as well as gently exfoliates your lips. The papaya enzymes in the formula melt away dead skin for a smoother texture. With a clean canvas achieved, the Salicornia Herbacea Extract and hyaluronic acid are able to penetrate lip skin effectively, providing moisture. This $26 lip mask will also work well under lipsticks for silkier, more comfortable wear.
