Celebrities such as Angelina Jolie and Tyra Banks have showed off their pouty smile on the red carpets. Full lips can complete any look, whether it is dramatic, sexy, or just flirtatiously cute. Thus the cosmetic industry has spent countless dollars on perfecting the perfect pout. Most popular cosmetic enhancement relies on injections; however, these “fixes” are short lived and costly. Before you spend subject yourself to the knife or needle, consider the following tips to get Fuller Lips without the Injections:
What’s the deal with lip plumper ? Do they work? The answer is yes. But they will not transform Courteney Cox’s lips to those of Angelina Jolie’s. Most lip plumper contains a mild irritant that will stimulate the lips and causes them to swell (plump). This is why you may experience a tingling sensation upon application. A lip plumper is not necessary to generate this swelling effect. Below are three basic, inexpensive steps to get fuller lips without the injection.
The basics steps to getting fuller lips without the injections:
1) Brush- Yes, brush your teeth, but while you are at it, brush your lips too. This will stimulate (and slightly irritate) them and plump them naturally. Gently massage your lips using a soft bristle, this will exfoliate the lips and remove the dead layer of skin on top. Dry your lips and add some lip balm to keep them moist. The last step is important to prevent cracking (very unattractive).
2) Concentrated oil of Cinnamon Leaf: This will increase the blood flow to the lips, making them fuller and giving them a healthy glow. This is serious stuff, so please use only a tiny tiny amount. This should give a tiny sensation, but no pain. Remember, more is not better. Allow time for the lip balm to absorb (about an hour). Where can you find this stuff? Try a local natural food store. They come in small bottle for about five dollars.
3) Vitamins: Niacin to be specific. This is a form of Vitamin B3 and is great as a plumping agent. It acts on the capillaries within your lips and causes a swelling effect to produce fuller and more red appearance. All good things come with drawbacks, right? Same goes with Niacin. First of all, it is more expensive to get a liquid form of niacin than cinnamon leaf. It is recommended that you don’t apply the niacin solution directly to the lips, this may cause irritation. Instead, mix it with a little lip balm then apply to lips. Remember, a little goes a long way. The above techniques work to add fullness to your lips, but require some work of your own. If you would prefer to just a lip plumper and bypass the chemistry work of your own, consider the following article : How to Get Angelina Jolie’s Full Lips.




I’ve tried the Cinnamon leaf oil and it works. You’re right about not using a lot. It was kind of irritating when I overdid it in the start.
