Lip Care is Skincare

When we think of skincare, we often think of the staples: cleansers, serums, and moisturisers. But there’s one area that’s often overlooked, even though it’s one of the most delicate parts of our face: the lips.

Your lips don’t have oil glands like the rest of your skin, meaning they can’t naturally produce the same protective barrier that keeps moisture locked in. That’s why they’re more vulnerable to dryness, cracking, and premature ageing. 

Why caring for your lips matters

  • No oil glands = no natural hydration: Without sebaceous glands, lips rely solely on external care to stay soft and supple.

  • Constant exposure: Your lips face daily stress from the sun, wind, and even the foods and drinks you consume.

  • Early signs of ageing: Fine lines around the mouth are often among the first to appear, especially without SPF or hydration.

Building a Lip Care Routine

Just like your skincare routine, lip care should have a few simple, consistent steps:

1. Exfoliation

Gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, making way for smoother lips. You don’t need anything harsh.

2. Hydration

Reach for nourishing balms or treatments with ingredients like our OMG CUTE LIPS GLOSS that naturally condition lips with anti-ageing properties. For a polished look, pair with our new Lip Liner to shape and define lips before applying the gloss.

Lip Care Mistakes to Avoid

  • Licking your lips: It feels hydrating in the moment, but actually makes them drier.

  • Skipping SPF: UV rays cause both damage and pigmentation around the lip area.

  • Over-exfoliating: Your lips are sensitive! (Once or twice a week is enough.)

Skincare doesn’t end with your face—it extends to your lips. By treating them with the same consistency and care you give the rest of your skin, you’ll not only keep them looking soft and healthy but also protect them from long-term damage.

So next time you’re layering your serum and moisturiser, don’t forget that final step—your lips deserve it too.
