Even if you don’t have a voluptuous pout, fuller lips can still be achieved. Making a lip plumper naturally is always more beneficial than using products or injections. You can mix up a host of things that you like in order to make your favourite ‘lip plumper’.
The skin over the lips is mildly irritated in order to get that plump look. There won’t be any allergic reactions though, not unless you are allergic to any of the mentioned ingredients below. Lip plumpers work their magic by widening the capillaries, allowing for more blood to flow through your lips, giving them that extra volume.
Before you start on anything, the most important thing is the carrier oil, either in solid or in liquid form depending on your preferences. It will also help nourish your lips at the same time. You can even use your lipstick or lip balm as the base and then melt it into the mix along with the active ingredients.
Active ingredients are the ones that will increase the blood flow to your lips, resulting in plumper lips for you.
Listed below are some of the recipes that you can try at home.
