Dealing with cracked, dry lips is all too common—even those who religiously apply serums, moisturizers and oils to the rest of their face can forget to pamper their pout. Though it may be easy to forget, lips are still skin (super thin skin, at that) and deserve to be treated as such. One way to get rid of that uncomfortable, burning feeling that can accompany chapped lips is to apply a mask.

Unlike balms and glosses, lip masks are loaded with hydrating ingredients that drench dry pout with moisture. Plus, they’re intended to last way longer on the mouth, making it a great idea to add one to your nighttime skincare routine to heal flakey skin overnight. Ahead, you'll find 10 well-reviewed lip masks that deserve a spot on your bedside table.

1. This juicy treatment from Laneige

What’s the opposite of dry, cracked lips? Soft and juicy ones. Achieve this result with Laneige’s Lip Sleeping Mask, a treatment that provides intense hydration while you sleep. Its formula uses antioxidant-rich vitamin C to protect the skin as well as murumuru seed and shea butter to moisturize. The mask is available in five flavors—"Berry," "Gummy Bear," "Vanilla," "Sweet Candy" and "Pumpkin Spice"—in 0.7-ounce tubs.

“I’ve been using the lip mask for a week now and there’s already a noticeable difference in how much softer my lips feel,” one Sephora customer says. "I can see this product lasting a long time, so it was well worth it."

Formulated with Maxi-Lip (a collagen-stimulating peptide known to increase volume), soothing shea butter and hydrating hyaluronic acid, this treatment is meant to increase fullness, as well as make cracks and lines appear smoother. The 0.28-ounce mask is available in three colors: "Sweet Dreams" (baby pink), "Cherry Vanilla" (sheer red) and "Birthday Cake" (sheer vanilla).

“I bought it on a whim and it’s so pretty—it leaves my lips looking plump, hydrated and soft,  one Sephora shopper writes. I cannot get enough.”

There’s a lot to love about Tatcha’s The Kissuu Jelly Lip Mask, from its non-sticky texture to its calming ingredients. Japanese peach extract and camellia oil work in tandem with squalane to create a moisturizing formula that melts right into dry, rough skin. Though it’s intended to be worn while you sleep, don't be surprised if you find yourself applying it during waking hours. The mask is available in two flavors, original and plum, and is available in a 0.32-ounce tub.

One Sephora customer gushes: “I live in a place that’s -30 degrees half of the year and this mask has been a lifesaver for my extremely dry lips.”

Who doesn't want a buttery-soft kisser? The CosRX Lip Sleep Ceramide Lip Butter Mask's name is promising and according to reviews, its formula doesn’t disappoint. Infused with shea butter, coconut oil and ceramides, this creamy treatment softens and conditions chapped skin for baby-soft lips come morning. You can find the mask in a 0.70-ounce jar.

“The mask is thick when you first scoop a little out, but it melts so easily into the skin," an Ulta shopper shares. "It doesn’t feel sticky or goopy, rather it’s quite lightweight while feeling like you have something on.”

Sugar isn't only a sweet treat for your tummy. This Fresh Sugar Recovery Lip Mask Advanced Therapy uses sugar, a humectant, to draw in moisture to the lips as well as berry wax to create a protective coating over the skin and hyaluronic acid to lock hydration in. To really prep your skin, use the Fresh Sugar Lip Polish to exfoliate the pout and remove flakes.

One Sephora reviewer raves: “I would usually never pay this much for a lip mask, but one day my lips and the corners of my mouth were so painfully chapped and split. My friend offered me some of hers, and the next day my lips were soft and soothed—a literal day and night difference. I immediately drove to Sephora to purchase one of my own.”
