Kocostar’s hydrogel patches seal in hydration that lasts for hours and deliver a mini self-care moment for you, too.
Keeping your lips moisturized in winter can sometimes feel like a never-ending battle. Lip balm is great but you often have to keep applying it — over and over again. And if you forget your tube somewhere — ahhhh — that tight, cracked skin instantly comes back.
Isn’t there an easier solution, you might wonder? Enter Kocostar Lip Masks. Similar to how you apply a hydrating mask on your face, these nifty hydrogel patches stick to your lips to deliver a heavy dose of hydration. Each fun, fruit-inspired one is enriched with botanicals, including caster seed oil, blueberry extract, aloe leaf juice powder and peppermint extract. To use, simply pop on your (clean) lips and let sit for about 10 minutes. Since the mask forms an occlusive barrier over your skin, the ingredients penetrate deeper than any balm. After you remove, make sure to rub in the remaining gel for extra nourishment. The result: super moisturized, dewy and plump lips for hours.
The only slightly awkward part is that while the mask is on you can’t talk or move your lips. Also, it helps to lean back or lay down to keep the mask in place. But take this as a self-care moment: meditate, listen to a podcast, tune inward for 10 minutes. If this means never having to worry about chapped lips again, consider this time well spent.
