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.
Need | Glaminai Recommends |
|---|---|
Glossy finish | Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil, Fenty Cherry Treat |
Tinted hydration | NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip, Kosas Wet Lip Oil |
Repairing treatment | Rhode Peptide Lip Treatment, Clarins Lip Comfort Oil |
💬 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.
✅ Saveable Rule: Lip oils hydrate first, shine second. If it feels sticky — it’s not skincare, it’s just shine.
