What’s the difference between a lip mask and a lip balm?

The two seriously similar products do actually have differences, we promise. While lip balms (for the most part) offer short term hydrating effects, a lip mask is designed to deliver long-lasting, hard-hitting hydration. As for texture, lip masks tend to have thicker, richer formulas (all the better for that extra deep kind of hydration!).
