Lip Oils
Lip oils are a popular beauty product that offers hydration and nourishment to the lips while imparting a glossy, high-shine finish. They are formulated with a blend of natural oils and emollients, and come in a variety of colours to suit different preferences. Lip oils are a great alternative to traditional lip balms or glosses, as they provide long-lasting moisture and protection without feeling heavy or sticky on the lips.
Lip Oil FAQs
What is lip oil and how is it different from lip gloss?
Lip oil is a skincare and makeup hybrid that hydrates and treats the lips using nourishing plant oils. Unlike lip gloss, it focuses on conditioning benefits and usually feels lighter and less sticky while still giving a glossy finish.
Can I use lip oil every day?
Yes, lip oil is ideal for daily use. It keeps lips soft, smooth and moisturised, and can be worn alone, over lipstick, or as an overnight treatment.
What is the best lip oil for dry or chapped lips?
For dry or chapped lips, Clarins Lip Comfort Oil is an excellent choice. This nourishing lip oil is enriched with organic jojoba, hazelnut and rosehip oils to deeply hydrate, soothe and repair the lip barrier. It combines the care of a lip treatment with the glossy finish of a makeup product, leaving lips soft, smooth and visibly healthier. With 98% skincare ingredients and a non-sticky texture, it's ideal for daily comfort and shine, especially in colder weather or when lips need extra care.
Is lip oil suitable for sensitive skin?
Most lip oils are designed to be gentle, but always check for fragrance-free or hypoallergenic formulas if you have very sensitive lips.
Does lip oil provide long-lasting moisture?
Yes, lip oils create a barrier that helps lock in hydration. For best results, reapply throughout the day or use a thicker layer overnight.
