When it comes to lip care, two staples often come up: Lip oil and Lip mask. While both help keep your lips soft and hydrated, they actually serve different purposes. If you’ve ever wondered which one you need (or if you should be using both), here’s your ultimate guide✨
What is a Lip Mask? 🧈
Lip Mask is the classic go-to for protecting and repairing dry, chapped lips. Most balms are formulated with waxes and emollients to lock in moisture and create a protective barrier. They’re perfect when your lips are already feeling dry, cracked, or sensitive.
👉 ROMI’s pick: Our Lip Treatment Repair Mask goes beyond a standard lip mask with barrier-repairing actives and nourishing oils to deeply restore and rejuvenate overnight.
What is a Lip Oil?💄
Lip oil is the modern lip care hero — a blend of lightweight nourishing oils that hydrate while giving your lips a glossy, plump finish. Unlike balms, oils don’t just sit on the surface — they absorb quickly, delivering moisture and a natural sheen.
👉 ROMI’s pick: Our Lip Treat Oil Collection is infused with nourishing oils to keep your lips soft, supple, and glowing in shades that flatter every skin tone.
Do You Need Both?
Short answer: Yes. Lip oils and balms complement each other beautifully. Use balm (or a treatment mask) to repair and protect, and lip oil to hydrate, nourish, and enhance your look during the day.
For an all-rounded lip routine:
-
Apply Lip Treatment Repair Mask overnight for deep repair.
-
Swipe on Lip Treat Oil during the day for glossy hydration.
Lip oils and lip balms aren’t interchangeable — but they are the perfect pair. Together, they ensure your lips are always soft, smooth, and glowing. Whether you’re looking for repair, protection, or that extra shine, ROMI Beauty has you covered🫧
