Every woman dreams of having full and expressive lips like Angelina Jolie. On the internet, we can find a lot of life hacks that are supposed to increase the volume of our lips, but not all of them work.
A pair of fuller, plumper lips is seen as a sign of health and beauty in most societies. With that in mind, there’s little wonder it is such a sought-after trait! While true lip size is ultimately determined by genetic factors, there are many avenues for one to explore if she’s looking for a greater luster to her lips. Though surgery is the only proven way of significantly increasing their size, there are many paths you can take towards improving the look and fullness of your pout naturally. Before too long, you’ll be well on your way towards a more gorgeously radiant set of lips!
Exfoliate your lips with a toothbrush. Most often, the first place you should turn to when looking for answers is a good homemade solution; in the case of skin and lip care, there’s nowhere better to start than with exfoliation.
Apply a DIY exfoliating mix. If you’re looking for a perfect, simple homemade exfoliator for your lips, a basic mixture of brown sugar and honey is just the thing for adding radiance and moisture.[2] First, get a teaspoon of brown sugar, then proceed to slowly add the honey until there is enough to make a thick paste.
Try a baking soda mix. If you’re looking for another DIY exfoliator to work with, try adding a small amount of water to a teaspoon of baking soda. Baking soda ranks among the most versatile home ingredients out there, and its benefits can be geared to apply to lip care as well. Making and using a baking soda mix follows a similar method to the coconut oil:
First, add enough water that the baking soda becomes a thick paste, much like a brown sugar exfoliator.
Once complete, dab the solution with a washcloth or your finger, and spread over your lips. This will soften to lips and get rid of any dead skin that may have built up.
Rub some cinnamon on your lips. Beyond its granular texture (which helps to exfoliate in much the same manner as brown sugar) cinnamon has chemical properties that stimulate blood flow, making your lips naturally fuller.
