This simple overnight lip mask is one of my favorite ways to wake up with soft, smooth, and moisturized lips. I’m honestly very proud of this recipe. It’s made with natural ingredients, smells amazing, and feels amazing.
You can make this overnight lip mask in under 15 minutes. I love how rich and glossy it feels, like a cross between a balm and a gloss, but thicker and deeply conditioning.
This recipe makes around 3 ounces, which is enough to fill a few small tins or jars. Perfect to keep one on your nightstand and gift the rest to friends!

Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes you don’t want it too hot when you add the essential oils.
2. Add essential oils
Stir in your chosen essential oil blend (peppermint, vanilla, or lavender are all good options). Mix well to combine.
3. Pour and set
Pour the mixture into small tins or jars. Let it cool completely before covering with lids.
