In the balmy days of summer, a glossy, hydrated pout is not just a beauty statement but a necessity. This season, lip oils have emerged as a frontrunner in the beauty stakes, combining the sheer, attractive sheen of a gloss with the nourishing benefits of an oil. As we explore the allure of these hybrid marvels, let’s dive into why lip oils are your best companion for Summer 2024 and highlight 10 must-try options available at Cult Beauty.
Why Lip Oils?
Lip oils offer a unique solution to summer’s typical beauty woes. They are infused with nourishing ingredients like vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, and various natural oils, which hydrate and repair lips more deeply than traditional lipsticks or glosses. Their lightweight formula is perfect for hot weather, providing moisture without the heaviness of creams or the stickiness of thick glosses. Moreover, the latest formulations include tints and stains, adding a pop of colour while keeping lips comfortable and soft. Their popularity is a testament to their effectiveness, ease of use, and the subtle yet chic look they provide.
