During the winter months our lips can get dehydrated, chapped and dry thanks to external aggressors like strong wind.
Central heating can also leave your pout parched and, with social distancing in place to prevent the spread of coronavirus, we'll all be spending a lot more time at home with the radiators on.
The best lip masks will ensure we head into spring with a restored, revitalised and reinvigorated pout, perfectly smooth and flake-free.
We've rounded up the best lip masks below so you can say goodbye to the dry and hello to a soothed, smooth, smacker-worthy pout.

6. Avashine Lip Sleep Mask with Collagen Peptide
Problem: Wrinkly lines around your mouth. Solution: A pout-plumping lip mask infused with collagen.
Deeply hydrating, it works to restore life and softness. When your skin cells are less active, the collagen network that provides skin firmness and structure breaks down. The skin then becomes dehydrated and forms lines and wrinkles.
This mask rapidly triggers new collagen fibre growth, revitalising healthier-looking, glossy lips.

Send cracked lips packing with this powerful, moisturising lip mask packed with pout-living ingredients like vitamin C.
The nourishing mask works its magic while you sleep, so you can wake up with refreshed, chap-free lips.

Lip masks are more intensive than lip balms, and are usually applied overnight to treat thirsty lips while you sleep.
As well as delivering a powerful hit of hydration to your chapped chops, many lip masks also contain collagen to wage war on fine lines and wrinkles, and leave you with a plumper pout.
