Lip gloss

Lip gloss is intended to enhance the lips, create a glossy finish and give a more cared-for appearance. It can be used alone for a natural shine or over lip liner and lipstick when you want a more noticeable effect, fuller look and fresher appearance.

Within the Lip care category, lip gloss combines an aesthetic effect with everyday lip care. For dry and chapped lips, it is recommended to use a balm before gloss so the lips are softer, smoother and more comfortable for product application.

Lips easily lose moisture and can become dry, chapped or sensitive, especially during cold weather, wind, sun exposure or frequent lip licking. More advice about dry skin and preserving skin comfort is available in Dry skin – how to care for it and which cream is best.

Who is lip gloss for?

• People who want glossy, fresh and cared-for lips
• Everyday makeup and a natural finish
• Enhancing lips without the heavier feeling of classic lipstick
• Combining with lip liner, lipstick or balm
• People who want shinier and visually fuller-looking lips

How to choose lip gloss?

If you want a product that gives the lips a glossy finish and fresher appearance, Zao Make-Up lip gloss can be selected. It is suitable for everyday use, applying on its own or combining with other lip products.

With dry and chapped lips, it is best to apply balm first, allow it to absorb, and then apply gloss. This helps lips look smoother and allows the gloss to spread more evenly.

How to use lip gloss properly?

Lip gloss is applied directly to the lips in one or more layers, depending on the desired intensity. It can be used alone for a natural look or over lip liner and lipstick for a more noticeable effect.

Before applying gloss, the lips should be clean and cared for. If they are dry or chapped, regular use of lip balm is recommended. Avoid removing dry skin and aggressive exfoliation, as this can increase irritation.

Lip gloss and dry lip care

Lip gloss gives a beautiful visual effect, but with very dry lips it should not replace balm. If lips feel tight, sting or crack, comfort and protection should first be restored, and gloss used as the final aesthetic step.

For lips prone to dryness, a daily routine is important: balm before going outside, protection from wind and cold, avoiding lip licking and adequate hydration during the day.

Pharmacist’s advice

If lips are dry and chapped, use lip gloss only after balm to reduce tightness and improve the appearance of the lips. If stinging, itching, swelling, redness or irritation appears after the product, stop use and check the ingredients. In case of cracks, blisters, cold sores, bleeding, strong swelling or recurring changes, advice from a doctor, dermatologist or pharmacist is recommended.
