How it's used

Primarily describes a healthy, slightly glossy sheen on skin or lips that indicates good hydration. While it contains the character for oil, it is a positive term for nourishment rather than a negative description of being greasy or dirty. It is frequently used in beauty contexts to describe products that provide deep moisture.

Common mistake

Avoid using this to describe food that is overly greasy, as that would be better expressed as 油膩. Using this for food might imply it is unpleasantly oily.
