Plumped Lips
/Topical lip plumping products are irritants employed to increase the appearance of your lips. Blood flow is increased, and temporarily larger lips appear as more blood is pumped to the area, producing swollen lips and mild redness that accentuate the best parts of your natural lip shape.
Effectiveness
These lip plumpers can work for a few hours, but overuse may be irritating. Using anything that irritates the skin–in this case, on purpose–can lead to unwanted dryness if used extensively. In the form of a lip gloss, these plumpers have varying levels of effectiveness related to their ingredients and your skin’s reception.
Hyaluronic Acid
As we know, hyaluronic acid is a key feature of “plumping”. Hyaluronic acid may be employed in a lip plumper to stimulate collagen production as well as draw in and trap moisture to improve the appearance of healthy, more voluptuous lips.
