Night Lip Routine 👄
Lush Mint Julips Lip Scrub: weekly physical exfoliation; kinda pricey and not any better than a homemade version with brown sugar and honey/olive oil
Hada Labo Gokujyun Lotion: Japanese hydrating toner with hyaluronic acid as its star ingredient; I put it on my lips as well as my face; make sure to spray water before/after to create a reservoir of water for this humectant to pull water from (if not it will use your lips itself as its reservoir and suck moisture out)
Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask: moisturizes lips and enriched with antioxidants; personally didn’t feel like it was worth the price/hype but it does its job
Vaseline: occlusive to seal everything underneath; personally, this was a game changer for my lips and made the most impact; keep in mind that this (as with all occlusives) is really only effective at sealing hydration underneath and does not actually contribute to hydration/moisture; if on a budget, water and Vaseline will still do a really good job and is what I did for years until I invested more into my routine
