Some parts of our skin receive less care and attention than others, and that often includes the lips. We all know how cold weather can leave our lips dry, chapped, and cracked. And hot sunny days can burn your lips dry. Yikes!
While lipstick and lipgloss are great, if you want to keep your lips in tip-top shape you’ll need to reach for a lip mask.
What Is a Lip Mask?
You might be familiar with a rejuvenating sheet mask or face mask treatment, but while taking a mirror selfie of you wearing a super cute face mask, notice where that fabulous moisturizing treatment ISN'T going... your lips! This is where lip masks step in to pick up the slack. Lip masks provide targeted overnight super hydration and healing to the delicate skin on your precious lips.
Why You Need a Lip Mask:
- Your lips are frequently dry.
- Your lips don't feel as soft or smooth as you'd like.
- You're in a dry weather climate with low humidity.
- Your lips are cracked or starting to crack.
- You're recuperating from sun damage or sun-burned lips.
- You want younger-looking lips.
Lip Mask vs Lip Balm
Lip balms are general purpose, everyday salves that can be applied regularly to keep your lips from drying out. Lip masks offer much more purposeful effects and provide a deeper layer of hydration and healing.
Using a lip mask like our Lip Trick Lip Treatment enhances overall wellness to your lips while a lip balm is more of a quick touch-up.
We're building a base layer of happy lips here people. That's why a natural lip mask is a must.
What's the Best Lip Mask for Me?
Do you know what ingredients to avoid in skincare? We ask because lips are so sensitive, making organic key ingredients very important, plus staying away from harsh chemicals on one of the most delicate parts of your body just makes sense.
You'll want to look for a hydrating lip mask - like our Lip Trick Lip Treatment - that focuses on a few key areas of lip care and lip health. Our lip mask is made with anti-bacterial agents that will keep your lips and mouth fresh and clean.
Additionally, to keep your lips youthful and sultry it's good to incorporate ingredients that support the your lip’s elasticity and bounce. With all that taken care of it's essential for the lip mask to trap moisture, naturally, of course. And finally, your lip mask should help with recuperation and lip circulation to promote healing and softness.
For example, our Lip Trick Lip Treatment formula uses only all natural ingredients that regenerate the sensitive skin on the lips to get you ready to pucker up.
Best Lip Mask Ingredients
Make sure you always prioritize natural ingredients when looking for a lip mask. It's your lips after all! You don't want anything synthetic or questionable going on your lips.
- Organic Beeswax: for its natural antibacterial properties. Organic beeswax is produced by bees that forage on organically managed flowers and plants, meaning they are not exposed to synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Organic beekeeping practices aim to minimize human intervention and create an environment that closely mimics the natural habitats of bees, promoting the overall health and well-being of the bee colonies. This beeswax is often favored for its purity and lack of synthetic chemical residues, making it a desirable ingredient in various natural and organic products.
- Plant-Based Silk Protein Amino Acids: to rebuild collagen and elastin to keep your lips looking smooth. These plant-based silk peptides are commonly used in skincare, haircare, and cosmetic products due to their beneficial properties for the skin and hair. They are considered a sustainable and cruelty-free alternative to traditional silk protein, which involves the use of silkworms in its production.
- Coconut Oil: to keep your skin moisturized on a deeper level. Coconut oil is a versatile and popular edible oil with multiple uses that is extracted from the kernel or meat of mature coconuts. Coconut oil has been used for centuries in various cultures and is commonly found in tropical regions where coconut trees are abundant. It is renowned for its culinary, cosmetic, and health benefits.
- Vitamin E: which boosts circulation and new skin cell regeneration making your lips softer. Vitamin E is known for its antioxidant properties, which means it helps protect cells in the body from damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress, leading to cell damage and potentially contributing to various chronic diseases and aging.

How to Use a Lip Mask
If you're feeling like your lip routine is constantly an uphill struggle, it might be time to try an overnight lip mask. A lip mask can set up a foundation for healthy lips and help avoid dryness and worse, cracking. Ugh! Try incorporating a lip mask into your nightly skincare routine, you'll be amazed at how good it feels, and how a simple addition to your regimen can elevate your lip game. Our Lip Trick Lip Treatment also has an intoxicatingly subtle vanilla scent that our fanbase loves. It's tempting, but please don't use the whole jar at once.
Simply apply a generous amount of the lip mask before bed and leave it on overnight. Have a restful and restorative sleep, then clean the moisturizing lip mask off in the morning. That's it! Your lips will feel refreshed and revived with organic ingredients.
Unlike a lip balm a lip mask will continue to work through the night bringing your natural smooth, smooch-worthy lips to center stage and making them shine.
Do Lip Masks Work?
Anyone who has ever tried to have a first kiss with annoyingly decimated lips will know — you do not want to go through that again.

Our overnight Lip Trick Lip Treatment is a great way to integrate lip masks into your routine and keep your lips happy and thriving! Also not to keep going back to it but we're also obsessed with the vanilla scent our team came up with. Can we get that as a room spray or a scented candle or maybe just some incense?
Lip masks are a great way to bounce back from a winter getaway or hot summer destination, we all can slack on our routines when on vacation or traveling (or just after a lazy night) but doing this quick and simple "Lip Trick" will keep your lips soft, supple, and healthy.
