Beauty These Lip Masks Will Fend Off Chapped, Cracked Mouths for Good Banish that tight, peeling feeling. By Emily Popp Emily Popp Instagram Emily is a freelance writer for MarthaStewart.com. Editorial Guidelines Published on January 11, 2022 Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Courtesy of Sephora We've all been there, desperately slathering balms and glosses across our dry, chapped lips to no avail. When the skin on our lips becomes raw, discomfort and bleeding can result, especially when our faces are exposed to cold, windy weather (thanks, winter!). And while a moisturizing lip balm is a necessary, helpful step, sometimes chapstick isn't enough to combat dehydrated and damaged lips. That's when you need to reach for the heavy duty stuff: a high quality lip mask. Top Picks Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask Elf Cosmetics "Jelly Pop Luscious" Lip Mask Sephora Collection Lip Sleeping Mask Milk Makeup "Melatonin" Overnight Lip Mask Cosrx Beauty "Lip Sleep" Butter Sleeping Mask Adding one of these hero products into your beauty regimen will help soothe dried-out lips, locking in moisture and leaving them healthy and supple. They can also make your lips look plumper, so they're great to use before applying a matte rouge because they fill in and smooth fine lines, preventing that "cracked lipstick" look. Before we get to our picks, let's first break down the different types of lip masks. There are gel patches that you apply over your lips, typically for 15 to 20 minutes; lip treatments that you can apply on-the-go throughout the day; and "sleeping masks" that you slather on and wear overnight. Ahead, discover some of the best lip masks on the market, which will transform your chapped mouth. The Best Treatments to Heal Chapped Lips 01 of 11 Laneige Courtesy of Sephora This overnight mask has amassed a cult following, and it's ideal if your lips are extremely dry, flaking, and in need of intensive care. Its buttery texture soaks into your skin, resulting in a supple mouth in the morning. Choose from seven sweet flavors—we're partial to the original berry scent.
