Plump Up Your Lips

Full lips or plumped up lips have become an obsession lately. But I am against injections and artificial methods. 

Here’s a nice DIY technique just by adding peppermint oil or cinnamon leaf oil to your lips.

These oils are natural essence of their plant. When a drop of the oil is placed on the lips, it will cause it to swell and go red, which means your lips will look fuller. You will experience a slight tingly feeling when applying the oil but you’ll adjust to it quickly. 

Not only does peppermint swell and redden your lips, it also acts as a muscle relaxant, so your lips will look relaxed and not tight. This will further add to the fullness of your lips.

1. Open your tube of lip gloss.

2. Drop one to three drops of cinnamon leaf oil or peppermint oil into the lip gloss.

3. Mix the oil into the lip gloss with a gloss wand or cotton swab.

4. Dip you finger into the gloss tube or jar and wait a couple of minutes. If the gloss doesn't sting too badly, then continue on.

5. Apply the gloss to your lips. Repeat as needed.
