Lip Plumpers: How to Achieve Fuller Lips - Methods & Results

If you're after fuller lips, you might have to look outside your own body for this. That is, while celebrities seem blessed with the full, plump lips most of us want, few of us are blessed with such an attribute. Perhaps it's this particular reason that many of us are looking for ways to help our lips look larger and have that 'pout'. One way to do that is to use lip plumpers. They come in a variety of forms, but the most popular are the creams that you apply to your lips and achieve fast but temporary outcomes. But before you jump on the plump lip bandwagon, you need to understand how these plumpers work. There are in fact a variety of ways in which these lip augmentation products work. First, many over the counter plumpers causes increased blood flow to the lips. These products have additives such as cinnamon, peppermint and wintergreen. These ingredients cause the lip's blood vessels to enlarge a bit. That causes a mild inflamation related reaction. The end result is that the mouth look fuller. The downside of using these kinds of plumpers is that many women have a negative reaction to them and report that their lips do not just tingle but burn up and the overall effect is actually uncomfortable enough to cause the woman to give up on the plumper altogether. Secondly, some lip enhancement items work by adding nutrients towards the surface of the lips, which can stimulate elastin and collagen production. These items must be used for several weeks before results will really be achieved. Because so many women choose to have bovine collagen injections in their lips to get plumped-up lips, this is an alternative to shots. But the verdict is still on these kinds of lip enhancers. Some beauty experts say for women who live great success with them, other say the overall effect is nearly irrelevant. So it's not clear how beneficial these plumpers are for everybody, because there's a benefit in some, but not in others. Finally, some lip plumpers add microspheres to the lip tissue. This attracts water molecules towards the lips, which gives the mouth a fuller look. This effect, if it's achieved, is actually temporary, but it's also usually without irritation to most women's lips and you can use it simply when you want to (unlike a plumper that might require regular use to achieve a certain effect). So to conclude, lip enhancement can be achieved by topical creams, but the ways they work are different. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. So do your own study and understand their pros and cons, so that you can make a more knowledgeable decision.
