The anatomy of lip skin

The skin on your lips is different from facial skin - it’s thinner and more delicate. Lip skin is only 3 to 5 cell layers thick compared to the skin on the rest of your body, which is 15 to 16 cell layers thick. Your lips also don’t contain sebaceous glands, a microscopic exocrine gland that produces a protective hydrolipidic film over your skin to keep it hydrated and less vulnerable to environmental stressors.
Lastly, lip skin produces fewer melanocytes, making it more susceptible to UV damage.

As a result, it's no surprise our lips dry out faster than our facial skin and become chapped more easily due to reduced protection.

 

Discover The Power Of Overnight Repair

Introducing New PCA SKIN Overnight Lip Mask

Overnight Lip Mask is a leave-on nighttime treatment that helps hydrate and condition dry, chapped lips while helping retain essential moisture overnight. Formulated with a unique blend of nourishing and emollient ingredients, this ultra-hydrating lip mask helps skin maximize its natural overnight rhythm of repair and protection to fight signs of visible aging for softer, smoother lips in the morning.

 

KEY INGREDIENTS

+ Squalane - A naturally-occurring oil with emollient properties derived from foods such as olives and wheat germ. This light occlusive agent helps retain essential moisture to improve hydration and helps support the skin's natural barrier function.

+ Shea Butter - A plant-based emollient that softens and helps maintain moisture in the skin without greasiness. It is high in triglycerides and vitamins A, E, and the omega-6 essential fatty acid gamma linolenic acid (GLA).

+ Vitamin E (Tocopherol & Tocopheryl Acetate) - Lipid-soluble antioxidant vitamins and emollient ingredients that protect skin from free radical damage.

+ Botanical Blend featuring Medicago Sativa (Alfalfa) Extract - A complex of lipids and fatty acids that help promote overnight repair and protection and increase essential skin moisturization.

Easy Application Steps

Apply generously to lips at night to reveal softer, hydrated lips in the morning. Should be used nightly and as needed for best results.

 

 

Overnight Lip Mask: pairing with injectables

Immediately after receiving a lip injection, patients may experience some degree of swelling; usually, the swelling is mild and subsides a few days after the treatment. However, there are patients who suffer from moderate-to-severe lip swelling after their injection, which can cause the lips to feel tight and dry. This sensation is thought to be caused by the excessive stretching of skin from the filler placement. As a result, an inflammatory reaction occurs, causing the top layer of skin to become dry and peel.

Overnight Lip Mask’s intensely hydrating formula may help relieve post-injection dryness thought to be caused by lip swelling.
