Sadly, not every woman is gifted by Mother Nature with full, seductive lips. Luckily, nature can be easily boosted. To do it, you don’t have to seek help at a surgeon’s office. Reaching for lip-plumping cosmetics such as lip peeling, lip mask or lip balm will do.

Lip Peeling

In general, lip peeling should be applied on regular basis because this is the only cosmetic to make lip skin ready for the upcoming conditioning treatments. Many will agree that only the application of lip balm, lip gloss or lipstick is recognized as common make-up routine. Lip peeling oxygenates the skin and removes dead epidermis cells. As a result, this cosmetic improves lip colour and enhances its shape.

How to use lip peeling?

The good news is that lip peeling used once a week will serve its purpose completely. It has to be applied to cleansed lips and skin around it, and left for more or less 5 minutes. The effect of lip peeling application is a delicate pricking sensation connected with the skin oxygenating process that takes place then. First, massage the lips using your dry fingertips, then continue massaging but with your damp fingers. Wash off the peeling afterwards.

Lip Mask

Lip mask delivers the same effects as face mask does. It’s better to reach for masks the shape of which matches your lips, the one that adjusts to their shape and stay close to them. Furthermore, the efficiency of lip mask depends on the active substances it features. Combination of hyaluronic acid and ceramide concentration delivers rejuvenating and moisturising action. The final effects become noticeable after 15 minutes.

How to use lip mask?

Lip mask has to be used after applying lip peeling. It’s worth setting your mind for 15-20 minutes of no-talking because this is exactly how long a lip mask should stay on lips. Then the mask has to be removed and its residues should be patted into the skin.

Lip Balm

The last step in lip care is balm application. Regardless of the state your lips are, choose between daily lip balm or ‘special task’ lip balm. In general, a lip balm should contain hyaluronic acid that gives lips the appearance of being bigger by making them firm and elastic. Mind you, if the active substances of the cosmetic are released gradually, the effect you achieve will last longer.

How to use lip balm?

Daily lip balm can be used a few times a day, always when you need to soothe your lip skin. It’s a good idea to combine it with your favourite lip gloss or lipstick. Such lip balm relieves lips after sunbathing, for example.
‘Special task’ lip balm serves its purpose when lips are considerably chapped, hypersensitive or irritation-prone. It has to be applied ever 2-3 hours. This type of lip balm can also be combined with your favourite lip gloss or lipstick.
