Achieving plumper lips without injections is possible with natural methods that can enhance their appearance. Here are three methods, including a natural scrub, to help you get fuller-looking lips:
1. Exfoliate with a Natural Lip Scrub
Exfoliating your lips can help remove dead skin cells, increase circulation, and give them a naturally fuller appearance. Here’s a simple DIY lip scrub:
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of honey
- 1 teaspoon of sugar (brown or white)
- A few drops of olive oil or coconut oil
Instructions:
- Mix the honey, sugar, and oil together.
- Apply the mixture to your lips using gentle circular motions. The brown sugar will exfoliate, removing dead skin, while the honey will moisturize and soften.
- Massage the scrub your lips with the mixture using circular motions for 1–2 minutes.
- Rinse off with lukewarm water and apply a moisturizing lip balm afterward.
- Moisturize after exfoliation with a natural lip balm or some more honey for extra hydration
The sugar exfoliates while honey and oil moisturize, leaving your lips soft and slightly plumper due to increased blood flow. Doing this 2–3 times a week can help make your lips smoother, appear fuller, and more hydrated!
2. Hydration and Lip Balm
Keeping your lips hydrated makes them look fuller and more supple. Dehydrated lips can appear shriveled, but drinking plenty of water and using a hydrating lip balm can help. Look for balms that contain natural moisturizers like:
- Shea butter
- Cocoa butter
- Beeswax
- Vitamin E
Apply lip balm regularly, especially before bed, to maintain soft and hydrated lips.
3. Cinnamon and Peppermint Essential Oil Lip Plumper
Cinnamon and peppermint oils are known for temporarily enhancing lip volume by increasing circulation to the lips.
DIY Cinnamon/Peppermint Lip Plumper:
- Add 1-2 drops of cinnamon or peppermint essential oil to a teaspoon of olive oil or your favorite lip balm.
- Apply this mixture to your lips and let it sit for 5–10 minutes.
- You may feel a slight tingling sensation as the oils work to enhance circulation.
- Wipe off any excess and follow up with a hydrating lip balm.
These essential oils create a subtle swelling effect, giving the appearance of fuller lips.
By combining these methods—exfoliating regularly, staying hydrated, and using natural lip plumpers—you can achieve plumper, healthier-looking lips without the need for injections.
