But what if there was something that worked even better? A lot of balms carry ingredients (such as petroleum) that instead of penetrating deep to moisturize, only coat your lips. This means you have to constantly reapply, and there’s no real moisturizing going on.

A lip oil, on the other hand, goes deep. The thought of applying oil to lips may seem a little funky, but we all thought that way about putting oil on our faces, and look how good that turned out. An oil isn’t sticky or texturized like a gloss or even balm but rather glides on. Plus, once the shine fades (because the oil has seeped in to nourish), the leftover tint in some formulas stays put for hours.
