What is a lip oil, and why do you need one?

Chances are you’re already using a face oil as part of your daily routine, and maybe even a hair oil - but there’s a new kind of beauty oil that everyone's talking about right now...

Lip Oils. But what are they, exactly?

Not quite a balm, and not quite a gloss - lip oils are a hybrid product created to bridge the gap between make-up and skincare. Unlike the skin on the rest of your body, the lips don’t have sebaceous oil glands, which makes them particularly susceptible to dryness and damage. Lip oils are designed to provide deep hydration while adding a layer of protection and shine to keep your lips glossy and hydrated all year round.

What’s the difference between lip oil, lip gloss, and lip balm?

If you have ever had dry lips you're probably well acquainted with lip balm. But whilst most balms have a wax base which coats your lips for temporary relief, but doesn’t do much in terms of long-term hydration - lip oils are made from oil. Oil can go much deeper into your skin to heal your lips from within.

Have you ever felt like you need to constantly reapply your lip balm yet still continuously suffer from dry lips? You can thank the wax base for that one. But a few swipes of lip oil should be enough to treat your dry skin and wear for hours.

Love the look of glossy lips but desperately craving hydration? It’s time to add lip oil to your routine.

Lip oils have a consistency somewhere between a lip gloss and a lip balm. Lip oils add a long-lasting glossy high-shine that you're only used to getting from your favourite lip gloss. Only now you can finally say goodbye to the stickiness and add some hydration and nourishment for juicy, plump, fuller lips.

How to use them.

Lip oils can be worn alone, under or over lipstick or on top of your favourite lip-stain to protect the lips against dryness and cracking, and create a glossy high-shine finish.
