The holidays are here and between festive photos, cozy drinks, and extra layers of winter air, your lips deserve a little VIP treatment. Whether you’re wearing bold matte reds or glossy nudes, healthy, hydrated lips make every look pop. Below are five simple, science-friendly tips you can use today — plus a quick product spotlight from Kiss Lorant Beauty to finish the routine.
-
Start with gentle exfoliation (1–2× per week)
Use a soft lip scrub to remove flaky skin and smooth fine lines so color applies evenly. Be gentle — small circular motions for 30–60 seconds, rinse, then follow with balm. -
Hydrate from the inside out
Drink water throughout the day and add a humidifier in dry rooms. Hydration helps maintain plump, soft lips and improves long-wear lipstick performance. -
Lock in moisture with an emollient balm
After exfoliating (or before bed), use a nourishing balm that contains oils, butters, or hyaluronic acid to seal moisture and protect against cold wind. -
Prime for longer color
If you’re wearing long-wear liquid lipstick, apply a thin primer or clear balm first to prevent feathering and improve comfort. For matte looks, a tiny amount of balm before lipstick helps avoid patchiness. -
Night repair = overnight magic
Apply a thicker treatment or balm at night. Overnight repair boosts healing and reduces visible lip lines by morning.
