02/5Brush your lips
Yes, you read that right. Brushing your lips with a toothbrush and toothpaste can help increase blood circulation to your lips. This, in turn, will help make your lips look plumper for a while. Make sure not to brush too harshly or you might end up with a scratch or bruise.
03/5Try out gua sha
Just like you have rollers for your face, you can opt for a gua sha stone with rough edges. Pull your lips into a pout and then gently rub the stone across your lips for a few seconds. Doing this will add some friction between the stone and your lips and this will make your lips look plump.
04/5Opt for a lip scrub
Lip scrubs can also help you get plumper lips as long as they have the right ingredients in them. Try something with cinnamon or pepper since these can mildly irritate your lips enough to swell them up for a little while.
05/5Try essential oils
Essential oils like peppermint oil can also act as an irritant on your lips and can lead to slight swelling which will make your lips look plump. So, you could probably add a drop or two of this essential oil to a carrier oil like coconut oil and then apply that to your lips for best results.
