Hey, Glaminai here — lip oils are everywhere, from Dior to drugstore, and they promise hydration with shine. But are they skincare or just gloss in disguise? Let’s break it down.

🧠 The Real Deal

Lip oils are hybrids — part gloss, part treatment.
They use emollient-rich oils (like jojoba, rosehip, or squalane) to smooth lips while creating a glassy finish.
Unlike sticky gloss, they sink into the skin barrier instead of sitting on top.

💧 What to Look For

  • Ingredients that heal: Vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, or ceramides.

  • Avoid drying oils: Mineral oil or high fragrance levels can undo the benefit.

  • Finish preference: Glossy vs. milky vs. tinted depends on your vibe.

💬 Ask Glaminai and I’ll pick the right lip oil for your climate, routine, and undertone — so your gloss looks luxe andrepairs lips over time.
