Beautiful, soft lips are desired by women everywhere. By having
beautiful lips it can support you to have beautiful smile too. Here are some
ways to plump up and protect our lips.
1. Skim Lip
Product Labels
Check the ingredients you’re putting on
your lips. To protect from sun damage choose a lip balm with an SPF of 30 or
higher.
Avoid parabens and fragrance, which can
be irritating. Also, if you tend to get chapped lips, you may need to avoid
camphor and menthol, super-aromatic ingredients that can dry your lips.
Instead, look for ingredients that help lips hold on to moisture. These include
glycerin, mineral oil, aloe, lactic acid, and sorbitol. Lanolin and beeswax
both soften lips instantly. However, beeswax does not penetrate the surface of
the lip. Skip lip balms with artificial flavors and sweeteners; they can cause
an allergic reaction.
2. Slough Away
Flakes
Apply a dab of sugar and honey (it helps
the sugar stick) to your lips and rub gently, using small circular motions.
Turning over those epidermal cells can
help stimulate new collagen, which somewhat slows down the aging process of the
lips. Finish by wiping your mouth with a damp cloth and applying lip balm.
3. Pump Up the
Volume
For long-term lip plumping, you’ll need
to visit a dermatologist’s office. "A variety of hyaluronic acid fillers
can be injected into lips as an outpatient procedure," says Tina Alster,
MD, director of the Washington Institute of Dermatologic Laser Surgery in
Washington, D.C. Fillers include Juvederm and Restylane. Dermatologists are also
using combination therapy, fillers plus Botox, for more natural-looking lip
rejuvenation, Hirsch says.
There are also lip-plumping glosses for
a temporary effect. These are often infused with circulation-boosting essential
oils like cinnamon and ginger.
4. Don’t Smoke
Studies have
linked smoking with premature skin aging. Smoking accelerates skin cell damage
and collagen loss, which leads to wrinkles. So skip the cigarettes and layer on
the lip moisturizer.
