FAQ 

How do you take care of your lips?

Lip care is an important — yet oft-forgotten — skincare routine step. Your lips are sensitive and take on elemental damage daily. 

To repair and protect your lips, we recommend regularly using a nourishing lip balm or oil. Gently exfoliate your lips weekly to remove dead skin. Apply SPF lip balm to prevent them from sun damage and aging.

Is lip balm or gloss better?

While lip balm and gloss are similar, they have fundamental differences. You can think of lip gloss as part of a makeup routine and balm as part of a skincare routine. A gloss has a liquid consistency and always delivers a shiny finish, whether it’s pigmented or not. A balm is typically a creamy consistency with a natural, matte finish. Some balms have a tint, but their primary focus is to nourish lips.

You can also layer products. Start with a balm to soften lips, then apply gloss for color and shine. 

Determining which product is best is up to your makeup preferences. Balms might be best if you like simple products and natural makeup looks. Glosses are a great way to elevate your makeup look. 

What are some other lip products?

Here are a few alternatives to lip balm and gloss — pair products to match your look. 

• Lip stain soaks into skin rather than sitting on top, leaving lips with long-lasting, transfer-free color.
• Lipstick is a classic beauty product — it’s thick and creamy, and comes in every shade and finish imaginable. 
• Lip liner is a pencil or pen product used to define your lip’s edges to make them stand out.

Lip gloss can be layered with other products. A glossy finish is a simple way to draw attention to your lips. You can use a base coat of lipstick or stain, then add a layer of sheer gloss. Some glosses act as liquid lipsticks with bold, lasting color — apply lip liner for a defined lip look.

Enjoy stand-out lips

Gloss is a resourceful item that gets along with other lip products in your makeup bag. An excellent gloss elevates a look — and nourishes lips.
