At-Home Lip Plumper: Learn in 7 Easy Steps!
Lips come in all different shapes, sizes, and volumes. It is not a secret that many people over the years have come to love the appearance of full voluptuous lips. Although we believe that all different kinds of lips are beautiful, many people feel more confident and beautiful when their lips are full.
The appearance of full lips can be enhanced with makeup, lip plumper, or dermal fillers for a semi-permanent effect.
The lips are composed of soft and fatty tissues, creating the appearance of plushy volume. Some people have less of this tissue while some people have more, creating diversity in lip appearance.
Lip plumpers are an effective way to plump up your lips to their maximum volume capacity. A lip plumper typically consists of ingredients that create a safe irritation to the lips, causing temporary swelling to increase lip fullness. There are many lip plumpers for purchase, howevever, it is very simple to create a lip plumper at home with just a few simple steps.
You can easily make a lip plumper at home with simple at home ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon of some form of all natural oil (such as coconut oil or olive oil)
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- pinch of ground cayenne pepper (optional for a more intense plumping effect)
Steps to create your lip plumper:
- Mix the oil, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Stir thoroughly until the cinnamon and cayenne pepper are completely mixed into the oil.
- Put the mixture in a small container in a lid to preserve it.
- Test a small swatch of the mixture on the back of your hand to ensure that there is no allergic reaction.
- If the tests proves there to be no allergic reaction, use your finger to apply a small amount of the mixture to your lips. Ensure that the mixture stays within the natural lining of the lips.
- Massage the mixtures gently, covering the entirety of the lip surface.
- Let the mixture sit on the lips for 2-3 minutes. A tingling sensation may occur. If the sensation is unbearable, remove the mixture off of the lips using a towel. Do not leave lip plumper on for longer than 3 minutes.
- Wipe the mixture off of your lips and apply a hydrating lip balm.
If you follow these simple steps you will get beautiful lip plumping effects! If you use a hydrating lip balm afterwards, especially one containing hyaluronic acid, it will emphasize and prolong the plumping effects.
This at-home lip plumper only creates temporary lip plumping effects. The effects typically only last 1-2 hours.
