Give dry, chapped lips some much-needed TLC with our range of lip care essentials. Whether it’s the viral Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm or nourishing masks from Laneige and Tatcha, there's a formula to suit every concern. Opt for tinted balms (such as Hourglass' Glossy Balm) and oils for a hint of colour, intensive overnight masks for deep hydration, or SPF-packed options to shield against UV damage. Hero ingredients like hyaluronic acid, shea butter, and ceramides help lock in moisture and leave your lips plump, soft, and comforted.

The main types of lip care include lip scrubs, lip butters, lip masks, lip treatments, lip conditioners, lip smoothers and lip sheet masks. Lip scrubs remove dry skin, while lip butters nourish and moisturise. Lip masks and treatments provide deeper hydration, while lip conditioners and smoothers help keep lips soft and smooth.
Lip care products like lip oils and balms restore lost moisture and help soothe dry, cracked lips and strengthen your skin barrier. Excessive UV exposure not only causes dryness, but for some it results in cold sores too, so using a lip balm with SPF can help.
Shea butter, murumuru, coconut oil and other plant oils, and hyaluronic acid are all common ingredients found in lip care products. Some formulas boost antioxidant protection with ingredients such as vitamin C while peptide lip balms help to plump and smooth the appearance of lip lines.
Lips are susceptible to time and will thin and accrue more lines with age. A hydrating lip treatment can help counter that. Most of us experience dry lips from time to time, but for some, that dehydration is chronic, leading to flaky skin and discomfort. This skin type may also develop cold sores. Sound familiar? Use a nourishing treatment (we recommend Laneige's sweet candy-scented lip mask) with butters and oils and reapply, reapply, reapply.
Unlike the rest of your skincare routine, lip care does not occupy a specific step. Instead, apply your treatment throughout the day, as often as you can (though with a formula as glossy, pretty, and sweet-smelling as Summer Fridays Birthday Cake lip balm, this won’t be a challenge) and before you sleep to prevent excessive moisture loss overnight.
