What is lip plumper?

As you will surely have guessed from what we have said from the brief introduction of our article, when we talk about the lip plumper we are referring to an innovative product that is used to give the lips a more voluminous and turgid appearance.

These products are also called with the term lip plumper because they have precisely the objective of plumping the lips , making our mouth perfect and sinuous.

Furthermore, one of the advantages that we can enjoy using a similar product, in addition to their ability to plump and inflate the lips, is also that of alleviating the expression lines that often form around the mouth.

There are different types of lip plumpers on the market, but their basic functioning is practically the same. So let’s see what exactly it is about in the next paragraph.

How many types of lip plumper are there on the market?

On the market we can find different types of lip plumper and, in order to choose the one that’s right for us, you need to know all the characteristics of these products so as to understand which one best meets your needs.

Among the most popular types we certainly remember those mentioned below:

• The plumping lip stick: in this case you’ll be dealing with a real cosmetic treatment that you’ll need to integrate into your daily routine, i.e. every day, to make the most of its benefits. You can also apply the product several times a day, as needed and, if you don’t fear a too heavy result, you can also use this volumizer as a base for lipstick;
• Lip plumping cream: these are cosmetic products that have been conceived as real intensive treatments to visibly improve the appearance of your lips. These products can have different consistencies and, in the case of less dense and lighter creams, they are perfect as a base for make-up. They are lip volumizers which, in addition to improving the aesthetic aspect of your smile, nourish and hydrate the lips, making them healthier at the same time;
• The plumping serum for the lips: it is the lightest form you can find on the market and, thanks to its ability to penetrate deeply, it will make your lips perfect. To make the most of the benefits of the plumping serum for the lips, we advise you to apply it with circular massages so as to favor its absorption and reactivate the circulation of your lips;
• The volumizing lip gloss: it’s perfect for those who can’t give up gloss and, at the same time, want to give their lips a decidedly more full-bodied look. The volumizing lip gloss combines the effect of the active ingredients contained within it with the unmistakable optical effect of the gloss which makes the lips fuller.

As you can see, the main difference between these different types of products lies in how they are used. The results that can be obtained are very similar to each other thanks to the ingredients they contain and which we will talk about later.

What are the ingredients that make these products unbeatable?

Before buying a lip plumper , we recommend that you take a look at the ingredients contained in the product, obviously after choosing the type of plumper that’s right for you.

Among the most common ingredients that make up the volumizers for the lips we certainly remember the following:

• hyaluronic acid: a substance that is used above all for the creation of anti-aging products, in this case it has proved to be useful for its ability to relax the surface of the lips. If hyaluronic acid is present in its micronized form then, in addition to stretching and making the lips more elastic, it also allows you to hydrate them and stimulate the production of elastin and collagen;
• dehydrated microspheres: mainly used to create volumizing lip glosses. They manage to volumize the lips thanks to their ability to penetrate the skin and attract water molecules.

In addition to these two main ingredients, lip plumpers can also contain substances that irritate the mucous membranes.

These irritating substances are used precisely to promote swelling of the lips, also promoting proper circulation so as to allow the skin to absorb other nutrients as well. Among these we especially mention the following:

• pepper extracts;
• cinnamon essential oil (also famous for its antibacterial function);
• the peppermint.

How to use the lip plumper?

The use of lip plumper varies above all according to the type of product you have chosen for your treatment and which, among other things, should contain instructions inside the package.

In any case, as we have already said, these are products that can be used throughout the day, some even as a base for lipstick.

In principle, the use of the volumizer for the lips is very simple and intuitive. In fact, just apply it on the lips when necessary and let it do its job.

Can lip plumper cause side effects?

Generally, lip plumpers do not cause side effects , thanks above all to the progress that research has made in this sector.

However, we advise you to stop using the product and contact your doctor if you notice any of the following effects:

• itchy lips;
• abnormal redness in the area of ​​interest;
• burning in the lips.

Indeed, in these situations, you may have used your lip plumper in the wrong way, or, in the worst case, you may be allergic to one of the excipients contained within it, hence the importance of contacting your doctor.

Generally these effects are manifested by poor lip plumpers and, for this reason, we advise you to opt for a more expensive pharmacy product which will be more effective and risk-free for your health at the same time.
