Do you have thin lips? if yes, we feel you. Sometimes you just have to work with what your momma gave you. But honestly, wouldn’t you like fuller, plump lips? If that is the dream, you’ve probably thought about going in for lip fillers and injections too. But these very procedures may seem a little intimidating and they aren’t accessible to everyone either. So before you go for a major decision in the lip department, we got a few tricks up our sleeve that we’d like to share with you. Here are some of the best DIY lip-plumping hacks that will help make your lips appear fuller, naturally. Check them out!
DIY Lip Plumping Hacks That You Oughta Know
Toothpaste Trick
The quickest way to fuller lips is with a product everyone has in their bathroom. We’re talking about toothpaste. Toothpaste has properties that can make your lips swell and appear bigger, but the results last only for a few hours. Still, it is quite a good hack to plump up your lips instantly and naturally. Squeeze out some toothpaste on a brush and then scrub your lips with it. After brushing your lips, rinse them with water. Swipe on a lip balm to keep your lips moisturised. This hack also helps smoothen the lips and remove chapped skin.
Cinnamon Scene
Cinnamon is a fantastic all-natural lip plumper that can be found in the kitchen of every household. This natural ingredient has the ability to improve blood flow to the lips which results in giving the pout a fuller appearance. Cinnamon also has the ability to brighten the lips. But be cautious – it might sting. For lip plumping, cinnamon oil can be used in a lip gloss or an even easier way is cinnamon powder and vaseline. Vaseline and cinnamon powder can be combined to make a paste for your lips. The paste needs to be applied and left on for about 10 to 15 minutes after which it can be washed off.
Scrub Cues
A DIY lip scrub will help make your lips appear bigger and smoother too. The idea is that the exfoliating particles in the scrub make your lips plump as blood circulation improves after scrubbing. You can also add plumping ingredients like peppermint oil to see a major plumping effect. Mix a teaspoon of crushed sugar with half a teaspoon of coconut oil and 3 to 4 drops of peppermint essential oil. Massage this mixture on your lips and rinse it off. Apply a lip balm to keep your lips healthy and hydrated.
Make It Plump
You can always use simple makeup tips to make your lips look juicy and plumper too. Our favourite is combining overlined lips with a lip-plumping gloss or lip oil. Simply line your lips with a lip liner and then apply a lip plumping gloss or a tinted lip oil all over your lips. You can infuse your lip oil with some cinnamon essential oil if you want to make it a lip-plumping oil.
