Plumper Lips Without Surgery



A Touch of Cinnamon Please!

CAUTION:  I am not a professional on this, so try at your own risk.  Keep in mind that too much cinnamon can burn & lead to possible other reactions. So you must be careful.  Never apply the oil directly to your lips, you must dilute it. Always TEST it prior to applying to lips!  If you fail to do so you can cause burning of the lip tissue, and other bad reactions.

So I was at The Heritage Store the other day.  It is a great holistic and natural food market.  While I was getting some last minute stocking stuffers for my Pantry to Pretty gifts, I overheard a girl asking about cinnamon oil for her lips. Out of curiosity and always wanting to add more DIY beauty products to my arsenal, I asked the lady what exactly she needed cinnamon oil for.  During our 20-minute discussion, I was able to walk away with a new Pantry to Pretty recipe... A lip ointment for plumper lips. 

So How Does This Work
Cinnamon oil increases the blood circulation to the area in which it is applied.  When applied to the lips it irritates the skin on your lips, causing your lips to temporary swell, giving you a fuller, sexier lip.  You may be thinking, how can irritation equal sexy, kind of seems like and a double entrendre  to me. However, the same thing can happen with the department store's  lip plumper as some of these  have cinnamon oil in them too.  And let’s be honest, it sounds like a much better approach than surgery.  None the less, I tried it and loved it!!!

Some Things To Keep In Mind
  • To start off with, you want to make a weak formula, for a test.  And try it in one spot (like behind the ear or hand), prior to a full lip application.  I found this out by looking online at Lip Augmentation.
  • Keep in mind, cinnamon oil can give you a tingling/warm sensation.  As stated above, this irritation is what causes the plumping. So don’t get scared, it’s the reaction the cinnamon oil causes. 
  • The great thing about this beauty regiment is it is temporary, so no worries if you don't like it.
How To
  • You need an oil or gloss to mix it with.
    • Options: Vaseline, lip gloss, or even vitamin E works.
  • Drop one to three drops of cinnamon leaf oil into one of your options. (Remember the first go around, make a weaker version)
  • Stir with a cotton swab or makeup spatula.
  • Apply to lips, with a lipstick brush.
  • Leave it on your lips for a few minutes and wipe off.
  • Your lips will be a little plumper.
  • Now add some regular gloss to finish off your voluptuous lips.

CAUTION:  I am not a professional on this, so try at your own risk.  Keep in mind that too much cinnamon can burn & lead to possible other reactions. So you must be careful.  Never apply the oil directly to your lips, you must dilute it.  If you fail to do so you can cause burning of the lip tissue, and other bad reactions.
