Lip masking is something that you should do on a regular basis if you have dry and chapped lips. Although lip masks in a tub works the best, sheet lip masks and regular lip balm works fine if you don't have an alternative.

Here's how you should do your overnight lip masking:

#1 Cleanse your face

Cleanse your face thoroughly. Putting on the lip mask should be the last step of your cleansing routine.

#2 Apply your lip mask

Take a dollop of lip mask from a tub, with an amount that you can hold on your fingertips.

If you only have tube-type lip balms, wash your hands thoroughly and scrape off a layer of lip balm.

Spread out the lip mask on your lips and make sure that every crease on your lips is accounted for. Spread your lips into a smile and rub on the lip mask.

#3 Go to sleep

Go to sleep with your lip mask on! The longer your lip mask is on, the softer the dead skin on your lips will become, making it easier to remove.

#4 Remove your lip mask

After applying the lip balm overnight, wet a cotton pad with toner and wipe off the excess lip balm. You will find that your lips are smoother with all the dry chapped skin removed.

Use a cotton bud to remove any excess dead skin, especially the line in between the inner lip and outer lip, and you will get perfect smooth lips for your makeup!

After a whole night of lip masking, you can easily apply any lipstick - even those matte ones that seem to amplify all the creases on your lips and make your lips drier. We suggest that you do this lip mask procedure once every two days for perfect baby smooth lips!
