When your lips feel good—hydrated, supple and smooth—they look good, and so does the rest of your complexion. But when it comes to skincare routines, lips often get overlooked. The skin on your lips is different from other areas of the body: it’s thinner and lacks a protective hydrolipidic film, meaning it needs its own targeted treatments. Whether you’re new to lip care or simply looking to refine your routine, here’s everything you need for lips that look and feel their healthiest.
4 Steps for Gorgeous Lips
1. Exfoliate Gently
As with the rest of your skin, dead skin cells can build up on your lips. The key to unlocking smoothness and preventing buildup is exfoliation. But since the skin is more delicate on your lips, you’ll want to exfoliate very gently and sparingly.
There are dozens of homemade lip scrub recipes you can try, but here’s a beginner-friendly vegan mixture you can blend together using some pantry staples:
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Massage over dry, flakey lips to exfoliate dead skin cells once a week. Remove with a warm, wet cloth. The sugar in this formula acts as a physical exfoliant, while the coconut oil conditions.
2. Do a Mask Overnight
Smooth on our Dream Lip Mask™ with Bio-Retinol before bed. This dreamy bedtime bio-retinol and seaweed-infused treatment acts like a restorative cocoon, helping to lock in moisture while actively softening lips and smoothing lines while you sleep. Made with bio-retinol derived from the Bidens pilosa plant, along with passion fruit oil to moisturize, nourish and condition, the luxurious gel texture melts right in, cocooning lips in a luscious layer of moisture. The fresh passionfruit flavor is a sensorial delight, making it an indulgent addition to your nightly wellness routine. Wake up to smoother, softer lips that look as good as they feel.
3. Nourish with Hyaluronic Acid
For your daily plumping hydration step, reach for our Hyaluronic Lip Oil Booster. This juicy, non-sticky lip oil delivers the high-shine of a gloss with the nourishment of a balm, for a softer, plumper-looking pout. A combination of hyaluronic acid and sea fern helps promote visibly plumper, fuller-looking lips, while castor oil and meadowfoam oil nourish and condition. Rich yet lusciously lightweight in texture, our lip oil features a deliciously sweet mango-mandarin scent. The clear, glossy sheen is gorgeous alone and layers beautifully over lipstick or tints. Swipe it on day or night, or whenever your lips need a boost of instant hydration and shine.
4. Protect with SPF
Lips are one of the most sun-sensitive spots on the body. Yet when it comes to sunscreen, they are frequently glossed over. Sun exposure can dry out, crack and burn your lips. Prolonged damage may result in hyperpigmentation, premature aging and potentially more serious health issues. A lip balm with an SPF of at least 30 is the gold standard for protection, and as with your regular sunscreen, you should be wearing it daily.
