Home Remedies for Fuller Lips
There are several home remedies for fuller lips, most ingredients of which are sure to be found in your own kitchen. Choose from any of these home remedies.
- Exfoliate
Like the rest of your skin, even your lips need exfoliation. The process of exfoliation helps in giving your lips a plumper effect. To exfoliate, either purchase or make a lip exfoliator, or just brush your lips with a toothbrush. Lips are sensitive and this exfoliation procedure may cause some irritation. Follow up this procedure with the application of a mild, non-flavored natural lip balm. To make your own natural lip balm, take a look at this natural lip balm recipe. This entire procedure will make your lips look moisturized, and fuller over time. Moreover, you can say goodbye to your lip wrinkles. - Apply Clove Oil
Applying a drop of clove oil on your lips about twice a week, is a great way of attaining naturally fuller lips. Clove oil is slightly strong, and may cause mild irritation. If you experience this, mix a drop of clove oil with your natural lip balm, and apply on your lips. You will notice that over time, your lips swell up to look rich and fuller. - Apply Cinnamon Leaf Oil
The application of cinnamon leaf oil for fuller lips shows almost immediate results. Cinnamon leaf oil has a stronger effect on the lips than does clove oil. It can cause a greater amount of irritation. So you definitely have to mix it with your lip balm and then apply it. As is the case with clove oil, apply this mixture only twice a week, though you will notice your lips appearing fuller and redder just after the first use. Remember it is very spicy and will definitely hurt if used undiluted. - Make your own Natural Lip Plumper
You can prepare your own natural lip plumper and store it, to be used whenever necessary. For this, mix 6 tablespoons of olive oil, 6 drops of cinnamon leaf oil, and the gel of 1 vitamin E capsule. Ideally, store this mixture in a lip gloss tube, in a cool, dark place so that you can apply it easily. Apply it every night, and see the difference for yourself. - Cayenne Pepper Oil for Fuller Lips
Cayenne pepper is extremely spicy, though it may be an effective home remedy for fuller lips. To use it for this purpose, mix together a small amount of cayenne pepper with water, to make a thin, watery paste. Apply this on your lips, and leave it on for about seven to ten minutes. Then rinse it off. Do not lick your lips at any time while the paste has been applied. It stings!
Fuller lips can be achieved even by doing some simple lip exercises. Just remember to do these at home and not outside as they may make you look funny! Before starting off, wash your face and lips thoroughly. Do not apply any of the mixtures mentioned above for fuller lips, while doing these exercises. The purpose of these exercises is to stimulate collagen production, that help you achieve plump lips.
