K-Beauty Lip Masks

Korean Beauty has invented plenty of new categories of skincare, like K-Beauty lip masks!

We’re taking a look at what they are, how you use them and the best Korean Beauty lip masks on the market.

Why Lip Masks?

When you think about skincare, a lot of attention is paid to everything but your lips. A bit of lip balm on chapped lips should do the trick, right?

Not necessarily.

It might surprise you to find out that the lips make up nearly 10 per cent of your face. #whaaaat

If your skincare routine is on point, don’t forget your lips!

Why Do I Need A Lip Mask?

Without the ability to produce sebum, your lips can only rely on your saliva to provide hydration.

If that’s not enough hydration (especially common if you live in dry or cold environments), you might need to step things up a notch.

Say hello to lip masks!

What Are Lip Masks?

Just like you might mask up to get your face on point, lip masks do the same thing…for your lips.

Lip masks are usually made with incredibly hydrating ingredients to provide nourishment to dry, chapped lips, leaving you with soft and supple kissers.

K-Beauty Lip Masks We Love

One of the OGs in the lip mask space is Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask.

While Laneige’s Lip Mask is incredibly effective, those who are looking for a less waxy, thick or gloopy texture may prefer Jelly Ko's Gelato Glaze Lip Mask. 

This is a more versatile formula that can be used night and day. It has a unique gelato-like texture that melts into your lips. Plus, it contains ingredients that actually improve the health of yoru lips, including 9 essential amino acids, butters and oils.
