If you scroll through Instagram, you would notice that large, full lips are everywhere. And while you might be convinced that it is the power of makeup, many women are naturally blessed with fuller lips. But there are ways to make your lips look plumper without getting a Botox. While these natural ingredients may not be the path to Kylie Jenner style smackers, they are definitely one to add to the repertoire of all-natural beauty boosters. These can be the perfect hack to plump your lips before a special occasion or a photo shoot.

Cinnamon

For years, cinnamon has been used to boost hair growth, revitalise skin and plump the lips. And for good reason, cinnamon helps stimulate blood circulation which gives you all the beauty benefits. When you rub your lips with cinnamon, there is a rush of blood under your skin, which immediately makes your lips appear rosy and plump. You can mix cinnamon with any oil of your choice like almond, coconut or olive for all the fantastic skin-loving properties. How To Plump Your Lips: 5 Simple Beauty Hacks to Make Your Lips Look Fuller and Sexier. 

Olive Oil

Lightly massaging your lips with olive oil can also impart bigger, fuller lips. Olive oil is packed with antioxidants and hydrating properties that make your lips appear plumper. Just gently rub a tablespoon of olive oil on your lips and continue doing it for 5-6 minutes, until your lips absorb all the oil. Once done, wash your lips off with lukewarm water. Apply the humble olive oil for two weeks to get the desired results.

Ice Cubes

Ever thought plumping your lips would be as easy as rubbing an ice cube on your pout? Yes, that's true. Rubbing ice cubes can slough off the dead skin cells as well as increase the blood circulation making them look smoother and fuller. However, just make sure that you do not rub your lips for more than two minutes.

Anise Oil

You can also use anise oil, extracted from the perennial herbal plant anise to get fuller lips. Simply put two tablespoons of coconut oil and beeswax in a pan and heat it for 30 seconds. Once melted, add two drops of anise oil and almond oil over the mixture and stir it well. Transfer the mixture in a small container and allow it to cool. Repeat this activity for a fortnight to get the desired results.

Water

Dry lips often look scaly, so hydrating them from the inside and the outside will help you get the desired look. Drinking loads of water is the easiest way to hydrate your body.
