How to naturally plump up your lips?

Consider exfoliating your lips no more than once a week using a fine-grain scrub. Exfoliating the skin on your lips helps to remove all the tiny dead skin cells, thus promoting the proper absorption of your moisturizing balm or the longevity of your lipstick. However, exfoliation does more than just smooth and soften the lips. It also revitalizes the tissues by reactivating blood flow, which will slightly plump them up and, as a bonus, enhance the natural rosy hue of the lips.

Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in the body. This molecule combines with water and fills the spaces between cells. It is therefore essential for skin hydration. However, with age, the production of hyaluronic acid decreases, leading to a loss of volume and elasticity. External supplementation with hyaluronic acid thus helps to maintain the skin's water hydration, particularly in the lips, and combat volume loss. Indeed, the application of a care product enriched with hyaluronic acid on the lips allows for deep hydration, densification, and the reduction of fine lines around the mouth.

You can also reshape your lips using a lip pencil that matches the color of your lipstick or your tinted balm. Add volume to your lips by slightly overlining your natural lip line. Apply a touch of highlighter on the cupid's bow to accentuate your lips by playing with shadow and light effects. This trick enhances the lips and creates the illusion of volume by capturing light in this area.

Facial gymnastics helps to strengthen the contour of the lips to prevent wrinkles, increase the volume of your upper and lower lip, and maintain skin elasticity. There are several techniques:

• First exercise: Form the letter O with your mouth in an exaggerated manner by projecting your lips forward. Hold this position for a few seconds, then release. Repeat this exercise about ten times in a row each day to add volume to your lips and also to prevent the appearance of fine lines;

• 2nd Exercise: Grasp your lips with your index finger and thumb, and stretch them forward. Then, perform small pinches around the lips. This technique will promote microcirculation. Repeat the entire exercise at least four times;

• 3rd exercise: Stretch your lips to the maximum by pressing them against each other, as if you were giving a kiss. Then hold the position for about ten seconds, relax, and repeat the same movement about ten times;

• 4th exercise: Work on the upper part of your lip from the inside using your two thumbs, placing them in the center. Then, push your lip forward with your thumbs, while trying to resist. Finish by pinching your lips to reshape them. Repeat the entire exercise two to five times.
