Nourish Chapped Lips With These 13 Lip Oils

Skin-caring, glossy goodness

This article was first published on 10 February 2022.

Did you know that the skin on our upper lips is one of the thickest on our faces? Despite that, it’s still prone to being dehydrated and chapped. Aside from drinking lots of water, you should also have a dedicated lip care routine that consists of exfoliation and moisturising. 


Lip oil vs. lip balm

 

There are a couple of ways to moisturise your lips: using a lip balm, which typically contains emollients such as beeswax and petrolatum, or using a lip oil, which offers the high-shine of glosses with a generous amount of moisturising lipid-rich oils. Plus, you can wear lip oils alone as a lip treatment or on top of your other lippies for added lustre and colour.
