4 Easy Easy DIY Lip Masks For Winter

1. Coconut Oil And Honey Mask

• What You Need: 1 teaspoon coconut oil and 1 teaspoon honey. 

• How To use: Mix coconut oil and honey, apply a thick layer to your lips, leave for 15-20 minutes, then gently wipe off with a damp cloth.  

• Coconut oil locks in moisture and contains natural antimicrobial properties that help protect your lips from bacteria, as per various studies, while honey attracts and retains hydration, together they deeply nourish lips and fight dryness. 

2. Sugar And Olive Oil Exfoliating Mask

• What You Need: 1 teaspoon sugar and a few drops of olive oil. 

• How To use: Gently massage the mixture on your lips in circular motions for 1-2 minutes, leave for about 5 minutes, then rinse with lukewarm water.  

• Sugar exfoliates to remove dead skin gently, while olive oil moisturises, leaving lips smoother, softer and ready for moisturising balm. National Institutes of Health states, “Lip skin barrier function as well as lip hydration were significantly improved and penetration of olive oil was maintained for at least 6 h post product application.”

• In winter, gently exfoliate your lips no more than twice a week.
  

3. Avocado And Honey Repair Mask

• What You Need: 2 teaspoons mashed ripe avocado and 1 teaspoon honey.  

• How To use: Mix avocado and honey into a paste, apply to lips, leave for 15 minutes, then rinse gently.  

• Avocado is rich in healthy fats and vitamins that nourish and repair skin, while honey adds moisture, great if lips feel cracked or rough.

Lip Mask Recipes For Winter: Tips For Best Results

• Exfoliate gently and not roughly. When using sugar or scrub masks, rub softly to avoid irritating the thin skin on lips.

• Always follow up with a gentle lip balm after the mask or scrub to lock in hydration.

• Use 1-2 times a week because overdoing masks can irritate sensitive skin and moderation keeps lips soft without drying them out.

• Patch‑test new ingredients, if you have sensitive skin, test the mixture on a small area first.

Make sure to do a patch test at the back of your skin if you have any allergies. With a little care and consistency, these simple masks can keep your lips soft, smooth and healthy all season long.
