For slightly fuller and beautifully plump lips, many are tempted to resort to surgery, but there are simpler and much less expensive solutions for a beautiful mouth. Let's take a closer look. 

While lip injections with hyaluronic acid can be a solution in extreme cases, plump lips can also be achieved without needles and other aesthetic medicine procedures. You just need to use the right techniques every day and have the right products in your beauty routine! 

How to naturally plump your lips?

To have plump, naturally full lips without cosmetic surgery, whenever you want and from home, you just need to follow these steps carefully. 

Exfoliating your lips

It's an important step to keep lips beautifully pink, well plumped, smooth and healthy! Indeed, exfoliation, like for the body and face, allows the dead skin on the lips to come off gently. Doing it regularly helps avoid the appearance of chapped skin but also prevents you from ending up pulling off little pieces of skin that can sometimes cause painful sores. Lip exfoliation should become a reflex and can be done either with a very simple homemade scrub or with a scrub (also called a lip scrub) developed by a cosmetics brand. 

If you don't have a lip scrub in your beauty kit, simply mix a teaspoon of honey with a pinch of brown sugar and apply the mixture (gently) to your lips. Repeat several times a week if necessary. Don't forget to apply a balm or moisturizer (such as almond or coconut oil) after each scrub.

Moisturizing your lips 

We always come back to it, moisturizing is the key step in any good skincare routine. We never forget our day cream and our eye contour serum! In fact, whether it's for the hair, body or face, moisturizing remains the foundation of radiant beauty and a healthy body. It's the same for lips: to keep them beautiful, full and plump, they need their share of hydration! To do this, always remember to drink your daily ratio of water, the best hydration always comes from within. To complete this essential step, remember to apply a repairing and ultra-moisturizing balm to your lips before going to sleep. The treatment will work overnight to repair skin weakened by external aggressors such as wind, cold, tobacco, pollution, and makeup. During the day, we occasionally apply a lip balm stick (the more natural the better) if a touch-up is needed, but it is better to avoid applying it every hour as this can create a dependency in the skin of the lips and dry them out. 

Cleverly applying makeup to your lips 

You can also use makeup to "cheat" and give your lips a fuller appearance in a few strokes of a pencil and brush. You just need to apply the contouring technique, adapted to the lips. The principle is to play with shadows and colors, like a painter, to add dimension to the volume of thin lips. We will use a lip pencil to define the contour of the lips, it's up to you to choose whether you want to emphasize the lower lip, the upper lip, or both. Choose a shade half a tone above your natural shade if you want a nude result, if you want colored lips we will choose a pencil half a tone above the color of your lipstick. Favor light shades so as not to overdo it. For a plump effect, you can finish with a touch of plumping gloss over the lipstick or start with a base such as a plumping lip serum... Long live lip makeup! 

Doing facial gym 

We hear a lot about it lately and for good reason, facial gym works wonders to slim and sculpt the face! By working the many muscles located there, it allows the face to have an amazing shape. The different exercises offered by facial gym allow you to have plump lips, among other things. Through consistent work, the muscles of the mouth are thus better defined and add volume to the lips for a plump mouth.

For a little tip, an ice cube passed over the lips in the morning after your skincare routine and before applying your lip balm, helps boost blood circulation, naturally color the lips and plump them. Be careful, the ice cube should only be passed quickly (a few seconds at most), at the risk of ending up with blue lips.
