3 Lip Care Tips To Keep In Mind

If you follow the tutorial above but your glass lips don’t look quite like the videos you’ve seen on Instagram and TikTok, you may not be prepping your lips properly. Here are three lip care tips to help ensure you nail this glossy lip trend

50. Exfoliate regularly

Dryness, cracking, and peeling can all interfere with how smoothly your lip products apply. To help keep flakes at bay, consider incorporating exfoliation into your regular lip care routine. You can do this by gently rubbing a damp washcloth over your lips to help buff away any dead skin, or reach for a dedicated lip scrub (we love Beauty Pie Smooth Ahead Nourishing Lip Scrub).

50. Use balm daily

Don’t make the common mistake of only reaching for lip balm when your lips feel dry—like any other part of your body, your pout deserves daily hydration. During the day, reach for a lightweight SPF-infused lip balm to help protect your lips from the sun’s damaging rays. At night, you can opt for a slightly richer formula—we love the Kiehl’s balm mentioned above, as well as Aēsop Cedar & Citrus Lip Salve.

50. Try a lip mask

If your lips feel seriously dry, an overnight treatment may be in order. These ultra-rich formulas help lock in moisture while you sleep. Kiehl’s Buttermask for Lips is amongst our favorites—the nourishing mango butter-infused formula helps repair the lip moisture barrier to visibly restore your pout overnight. Apply a thick layer before bed and enjoy softer, smoother lips by morning—just in time to rock your glossy lip look.
