Beauty Tip of the Day!

Plump lips are all the rage, but maybe you feel like your lips simply can't be plumped. Luckily, with some simple at-home solutions, there are ways to plump any type of lips.

1. Hydration is necessary for achieving plump lips. Drink water as often as you can and carry a good lip balm with SPF with you.
2.Before you get in the shower, rub a thick layer of petroleum jelly or honey on and around your lips but don't wipe it off in the shower. The steam will help it to penetrate, giving you smooth lips. Wipe off any residue when you're done.
3. Make your own stuff: mix a small of amount of honey and a small amount of brown sugar in a bowl then rub in on your lips for 3 minutes wipe it off and clean your lips off with a wet paper towel. Top it off with a layer of aquaphor once they are dry.
4. After brushing your teeth, use your toothbrush or a terrycloth towel to exfoliate your lips. This will also temporarily swell them. If your lips are really dry and flaking, then try a layer of Carmex, topped with a layer of petroleum jelly or Aquaphor when you go to sleep at night. You should wake up with soft, flake-free lips.
5. Invest in a good lip plumper that has MaxiLip or hyaluronic acid as an ingredient rather than an irritant like cinnamon oil (which will be painful and only temporarily swell your lips). Apply it once or twice a day. When applying, open your mouth as wide as possible to get the best effect.
