Plump lips are
luscious lips. No wonder most women including probably you, want it. However, one has to choose a lip plumper with care, as it comes in
different kinds. Basically, a good lip
plumper should subtly make lips appear full without making it look like it
has been torridly kissed. A bad lip
plumper on the other hand can leave lips looking flaky and burning. So what
lip plumper actually yields good
results and how does it work? Let us take a look.
Some lip plumpers that
comes in the form of gloss, balm, stick or gel operate on the theory that
irritating the lip’s sensitive skin boosts blood flow providing you with a fuller lip. So, they use
skin-irritating ingredients such as cinnamon, wintergreen, forms of capsaicin,
caffeine and ginger or menthol. These lip
plumpers do fatten the lips temporarily. However, constant use may cause lips
to peel or even develop ulcers due to constant irritation.
A better lip plumper
option would be the lip-conditioning plumpers which use ingredients such as
peptides, marine collagen, and human growth factors. Manufacturers claim that
with regular use these products will stimulate lips to produce pout-boosting
collagen and elastin. Unfortunately, there is no research that would prove this
claim. At the very least, these lip-conditioning
plumpers help retain moisture improving lines and wrinkles resulting to a bit
of fullness.
Lip plumpers make
us look younger and more attractive. Nevertheless, we should understand how
they work, so we can decide on what is best for us. We have to develop
realistic expectations about these products. They offer temporary lip plumping.
In other words they will not enlarge the lips the same way a more expensive
injection of a hyaluronic acid or bovine-extracted collagen filler does. So, if
you want to have a fuller lip, go for the one that will give you a lasting
result.
