Plump Lips Without Surgery
Before beginning facial exercises to target the lips you can try out some of the following helpful hints and tips for the lip area.
By increasing blood flow to your lips it’s possible to make them appear plumper, however the effects of the following will only be temporary.
On the plus side they are far cheaper than resorting to costly collagen injections!
1. When brushing your teeth begin by giving your lips a brush too! It’s probably better to use a separate toothbrush for lip brushing to the one you use to clean your teeth.
Gently rubbing the lips with a toothbrush will help to exfoliate the skin and encourage blood flow to the lips helping them to appear smoother and plumper.
2. Honey can be used to plump up your lips naturally. Applying a light layer of honey to your lips encourages the skin to draw moisture to the surface, giving lips a temporary plumping boost.
Natural and delicious too, just make sure you don’t keep licking the honey off your lips!
3. Some people suggest using concentrated peppermint or cinnamon leaf oil on your lips to increase blood flow and to give them a fuller-looking, healthy glow.
Don’t apply these oils neat to the lips however, add a drop or two to your favorite lip balm or lip gloss pot. These oils are very concentrated, so make sure you use only the tiniest amount, you’ll definitely feel a tingle!

Plumper Lips Can Be Yours
Thin lips are notoriously difficult to plump up without resorting to cosmetic procedures but many people do not want to inject their faces with artificial ingredients and that is more than understandable!
There is a lot than can go wrong when it comes to cosmetic procedures for lips and some people have been left with permanently misshapen, hard and over inflated lips as a result of using collagen injections and other fillers.
Along with some temporary lip plumping measures facial exercises that target the lips can help you to achieve longer lasting results for this difficult area.
Many facial exercises for lips involve working on the lines, creases and wrinkles that can affect this part of the face. By helping to smooth out and plump up the whole area around the mouth the lips will appear firmer and plumper.
And it goes without saying that a natural looking plump pout will look far better than one that has been over inflated or artificially enhanced by adding fillers of any kind!
If a perfect pout and a younger looking face is your goal then look no further!
