The skin on and around your lips is your most fragile skin of all. Clarins’ soothing, plant-infused lip products soften, soothe, and intensely hydrate to help defy age-telling lines and wrinkles that form around the mouth.
Lip creams and balms that love your lips back
Caring for your lips daily is key to maintaining your prettiest pout and should be included in every anti-aging beauty routine. With Clarins, there’s no need to choose between dazzling lip makeup and pucker-worthy protection: our beauty products offer the best of both worlds.
Lip creams and balms differ from traditional lipsticks because they offer rich, comforting textures that nourish and visibly smooth your lips. With powerful ingredients like Blue Lotus wax and Shea Butter, Clarins lip creams and lip balms moisturize and protect your lips.
Gloss meets care: oils and perfectors
If you prefer a shiny or tinted look, lip oils like Clarins’ Lip Comfort Oil or Lip Perfector Glow layer beautifully over other products while hydrating and conditioning this delicate skin. When you want to add a soft color that gives you a comforting feel or cushiony texture, reach for oils and perfectors.
Why choose Clarins lip care?
Clarins lip care products are developed by Clarins Laboratories and powered by botanicals like Hazelnut Oil, Mango Oil, and Rose Wax. With expert formulation that keeps your lips visibly hydrated and comfortable, lip balms, oils, and protectors provide sensorial textures that work well for day or night; whether you want to make a bold statement with a moisturizing lipstick or need something perfect for the office, our products can keep your lips happy and healthy.
Lip care tips from our beauty experts
Think of lip balm as your everyday go-to for comfort and visible hydration. Clarins lip balms and creams (like our Hydra-Essentiel Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm) are perfect for keeping your lips soft and smooth throughout the day. Need a little more glow and nourishment? Reach for a lip oil, such as Lip Comfort Oil, to deliver cushiony moisture and a glossy finish ideal for daytime shine or layering over your favorite lipstick.
Nighttime is the perfect moment to treat your lips to something extra. Apply Lip Comfort Oil before bed for an indulgent overnight mask. It can help your lips feel extra nourished by morning.
Finally, before you apply lipstick, reach for a nourishing base. Lightweight lip balms or creams can smooth rough patches and help your lipstick glide on more evenly. Extra-Firming Lip & Contour Balm is a beauty editor favorite: It’s rich, comforting, and doubles as a care step for the lip contour area.
Any questions?
How can I fight wrinkles and fine lines around the lips from age 40?
The skin on and around your lips is thinner than the skin on your face or body. Without oil glands, it is especially prone to dryness resulting from UV rays, smoking, aging, and the environment. This delicate skin needs targeted daily care to fight vertical lines and wrinkles as much as crow’s feet, dark circles, and bags around the eyes need special attention to stay youthful-looking.
To complement our Extra-Firming Day and Night Creams, which visibly firm, lift, and fight wrinkles, Clarins has created Extra-Firming Lip & Contour Balm—with Raspberry Oil and Shea Butter—to visibly replenish, soften, and smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the lip contour and keep this fragile skin smooth, comfortable, and incredibly kissable. Make it part of your daily routine for lips that look fuller, younger, and beautifully defined.
How do I maintain a perfect lip contour?
When lips are dehydrated, fine lines appear, and lip contours lose their smoothness. Clarins’ super-quenching Hydra-Essentiel Moisture Replenishing Lip Balm immediately nourishes, soothes, and visibly plumps to get lips into soft, smooth, kissable condition… a key formula in our Hydra-Essential face care collection.
The ideal product for dry or damaged lips, this melting formula—with Blue Lotus Wax and Cocoa extract—helps soften, protect, and moisturize lips to restore a natural, rosy glow and a plump, luscious look.
What is the ideal lip contour care routine?
Be sure to keep your lips well-moisturized morning and evening.
Once or twice a week, exfoliate face and lips with Comfort Scrub Nourishing Oil Scrub to gently remove dead skin cells and impurities. This intensely-hydrating, plant-based product—with a soothing blend of Wild Mango Butter and natural Sugar microcrystals from beetroot—will leave your lips smooth, clean, and incredibly comfortable. Plump, nourished, and moisturized, lips are perfectly prepped for Joli Rouge lipstick.
What comes first: lipstick or lip care?
Although all Clarins lip products have skincare built into their formulas, our Beauty Experts recommend smoothing and moisturizing your lips before applying lipstick and other makeup.
Once hydrated with a lip moisturizer, outline lip contours with a lip pencil. Follow with one of our iconic, high-shining Lip Comfort Oils for a glossy effect, or opt for the fresh matte look of Joli Rouge lipstick. Not sure which lip color formula is right for you? Take our lipstick finder quiz to discover your perfect texture and hue.
What are the best practices for maintaining soft and hydrated lips?
Keep your lips consistently moisturized with a nourishing lip balm or oil. Reapply throughout the day, especially after eating or spending time outdoors. You can also hydrate from the inside out with lots of water and don’t skip the all-important sun protection.
How can I treat dry lips, especially during winter?
Cold air and indoor heating can zap moisture from your skin — especially your lips — fast. Apply a hydrating lip balm multiple times daily and avoid licking your lips (this worsens dryness!). At night, smooth on a nourishing lip treatment like Clarins Lip Comfort Oil to replenish your lips while you sleep.
Are there specific ingredients to look for in lip balms for effective hydration?
Seek out botanical oils like Hazelnut, Jojoba, and Rosehip, which help visibly smooth and soften. Ingredients like Shea Butter and Blue Lotus Wax can create a comforting barrier that seals in moisture. Plant-powered ingredients are excellent for keeping your lips visibly supple, nourished, and cared for.
How often should I exfoliate my lips for optimal health?
Once or twice a week is perfect. Use a gentle scrub or damp washcloth to buff away dry flakes. You can follow up with a lip moisturizer to lock in hydration. Over-exfoliating can irritate your lips, so keep it light.
