Tips for Keeping Your Lips Moisturized

During the winter, not only does your skin feel dry, but your lips are an important aspect that require care and moisture too. Lips need more moisture than skin, which is why they require extra care. Beauty companies have released multiple products that will help to keep those lips moisturized, especially during the cold winter.

Gel Lip Masks

Lip masks are perfect in keeping your lips from getting chapped and dry, and there are gel lip masks that you can apply to your lips just like a face mask. These masks are super cute because they are created in the shape of lips and provide moisture instantly. These lip masks usually contain collagen to allow your lips to stay plump throughout the day, and they also incorporate vitamins and minerals to provide your lips with the nutrients they need. Some recommended products are Tony Moly’s Kiss Kiss Lovely Lip Patch and Holika Holika’s Golden Monkey Glamour Lip 3-Step Kit. 

Lip Sleeping Masks 

Nighttime lip masks have become one of the most popular beauty items in the industry. Every beauty guru uses these lip masks as part of their daily skincare routine. They are applied at night, before you sleep, just like face sleeping masks. They are filled with vitamins and nutrients to make sure your lips stay moisturized. The benefit of using this product is that it acts as a lip balm, so you can also use it during the day. The most popular lip sleeping masks are Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask and Mamonde’s Lip Sleeping Mask. 

Lip Balms

Lastly, the most basic way to keep your lips moisturized is by using lip balm. Through using lip balms, the skin on your lips heals faster, especially when it starts to crack and peel as the skin on your lips is thinner than on your face. They also provide protection from the sun with SPF to ensure that even your lips are protected from UV rays, thus preventing the mouth from hurting. Lip balms are also easier and more convenient to use as they usually come in stick form for easy application. Some recommended lip balms include Glow Recipe’s Watermelon Glow Lip Pop and Innisfree’s Canola Honey Lip Balm. 

These are just some of the lip products that beauty companies have released to keep those lips hydrated during the winter season. Since the skin on your lips is thinner, they require extra care and additional products to ensure that they don’t get chapped and dry.
