My Balm Just Sits on Top. What Mask Will Actually Heal My Lips?
Summary: That is a very common problem! Many balms (especially those high in petroleum jelly or wax) are purely occlusive, they "sit on top" to form a seal but contain no ingredients to heal the skin underneath. You need a product that does both, which is why we recommend the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask. This mask is designed to solve that exact problem. It creates a seal, but it's what's under the seal that makes the difference.
How This Mask Is Different It "Sits on Top" for a Reason: The mask is designed to form a rich, protective barrier that "sits on top." This is a good thing! This seal is what locks in moisture and protects your lips from drying out overnight. It's Packed With Healing Ingredients Underneath: Here is the key difference. While that barrier is in place, it's also locking in a full-blown treatment. The formula is packed with powerful emollients like Shea Butter and Coconut Oil. It Heals and Nourishes: These ingredients don't just sit there; they work to deeply nourish, moisturize, and soften the skin, healing the chapped, dry skin under the protective layer. You are right to want more than a simple waxy layer. You need a mask that combines a protective seal with powerful, healing ingredients that get the job done.
