Lip oils are designed to nourish and hydrate lips, so they’re perfect if you’re prone to dry, chapped lips. From a skincare perspective, they’re basically like a serum for your lips, but they also happen to make lips look plump and glossy in the process. Most are formulated with moisture-replenishing ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin E and plant-based oils, which help to keep lips smooth and soft and prevent them from getting cracked or flaky.
If you find that regular cream or liquid lipsticks leave your lips feeling tight and dry, then a lip oil can be a great alternative, especially as many of them are tinted. They tend to leave a much glossier, shinier finish than a lipstick, but unlike lip gloss, they don’t feel heavy or leave a sticky residue.
