Let's face it, we all want lips that are as plump and juicy as a ripe peach. But as we age, our lips can lose their fullness and become as deflated as a sad balloon. Don't worry, though! There are plenty of ways to keep your lips looking youthful and luscious without resorting to drastic measures like injections or magic potions. In this blog post, we'll explore some fun and quirky tips to help you achieve the perfect pout.
1. Exfoliate, baby!
Just like your skin, your lips need some exfoliation love too. Grab a gentle lip scrub (or make your own with sugar and honey) and give your lips a little massage. This will help remove dead skin cells and leave your lips feeling soft and smooth. Plus, it's a great excuse to indulge in a little self-care time.
2. Hydrate like it's your job
Dehydrated lips are a big no-no if you want them to look plump and youthful. Make sure you're drinking enough water throughout the day to keep your lips hydrated from the inside out. And don't forget to slather on a hydrating lip balm (preferably one with SPF) to lock in moisture and protect your lips from the elements.
3. Get your pout on
Did you know that exercising your lips can actually help keep them plump? It's true! Just like any other muscle in your body, your lips can benefit from a little workout. Try doing some simple lip exercises like puckering up and holding for a few seconds, or smiling as wide as you can. Your lips will thank you for the extra attention.
4. Embrace the power of oils
When it comes to keeping your lips looking youthful, oils are your best friend. Look for lip products that contain nourishing oils like jojoba, coconut, or argan oil. These oils will help moisturize your lips and give them a natural plumping effect. Plus, they'll leave your lips looking glossy and oh-so-kissable.
5. Fake it 'til you make it
If all else fails, there's no shame in faking it a little. Lip plumping glosses and lipsticks can work wonders in giving your lips that extra oomph. Look for products that contain ingredients like cinnamon or peppermint, as these can help temporarily plump up your lips. Just be prepared for a tingly sensation that might make you feel like you've just eaten a whole bag of spicy chips.
My Recommendation
One plumper that I have tried and I recommend is Lip Injection Maximum Plump by Too Faced. It comes in Blueberry Buzz, Cotton Candy Kisses, Tickle, Original and Yummy Bear. I tried the "original" and I was pleasantly surprised. There was some tingling but nothing that was not worth the results. Take peek at my results below. The first to the third was about 25 minutes.
You can find it at Ulta, Amazon and anywhere that carries Too Faced. I have seen it priced anywhere from $21 to $35. Don't settle for substitutions.
