Did you know that your lips are the #1 feature that a man sees first when he looks at a woman, her eyes would be the second most favorite. What do we do though if our lips are too small, or too thin? Well, some women might have plastic surgery but really, is that necessary? Lips have always been a very important feature in beauty, throughout time and cultures. Smooth, full lips can be attractive, suggest youth, and sensuality. Because we look at lips when people talk,they are a prominent feature on the face. They stand out, they are appealing, appetizing, and sensual. How would you rate your lips? If you're like me and would love them just a little fuller, I found some suggestions to try out. Simply Delicious Lingerie says to try these tips out! It's great advice!
Lip plumpers...use them!
Young women don’t have wrinkles,but they sometimes like to have fuller lips. Lip plumpers are an ingenious cosmetic trick to give you fuller lips. The skin on your lips is thin and the lips have an impressive blood supply. Lip plumpers are hot pepper or other irritants that penetrate this thin skin and cause dilation of the blood vessels. When the blood vessels dilate,the lips fill with blood like balloons,giving you an instant fuller look. They have the added bonus of giving your kissing partner a tingling sensation that he will certainly feel long after you stopped kissing him. Trying plumping...don't get injections....(that's just my personal opinion, but don't hold me to it. Right now I don't have many wrinkles, in the future, I may change my mind?) Take care of your body, inside and out and it will take care of you!
Exfoliate
A second cosmetic concern for lips is that they can be flaky or scaly. This can happen from excess dryness (chapped lips) as well as from sun damage. Use a fine scrub or mild exfoliating cream to buff your lips to a smooth pink. This should be done in moderation though, as it is easy to over exfoliate lips and develop irritation that will be neither attractive nor good for kissing. No one wants sores on their lips because they took have of the skin off. No one wants to kiss a gal with sandpaper lips!
Moisturize and Protect
Once you have exfoliated your lips,it is important to moisturize them. Because the skin is thin and because your lips are subject to constant wetting,they dry out easily. Use a lip balm regularly throughout the day to keep moisture locked in and prevent dryness. Always choose a lip balm that has a sunscreen. The thin skin on lips accumulates sun damage over the years leading to hard scaly spots (called actinic chelitis) and even skin cancer such as squamous cell carcinoma. Speaking from a Melanoma cancer survivor point of view I say; PROTECT YOUR BODY FROM YOUR HEAD TO YOUR TOES!
Stop smoking!
This seems like a no-brainer, but it is important to mention here. Smoking is bad for lips for two reasons. First,smoking causes wrinkles and lips are prone to developing fine vertical lines that give lips a crepe paper look and make it nearly impossible to get a nice smooth line of lipstick. The actual act of smoking can itself worsen these wrinkles as the vertical lines form from puckering your lips on the cigarette. Some people take this as far as to never drink out of straws for the same reason;I don’t think that is necessary though (unless you are working on a super thick shake from In-and-Out Burger which is nearly impossible to suck up). My best friend just asked me to research Heidi Klums wrinkle eraser. She said she has hear great reviews you be the judge; http://www.inaninstant.com/lp_a/
Just to make her feel better, I ordered her some this morning so I will monitor her first hand and share comments with you! I'll also take my own "before and after" photos to show you! If it works for so many women, why not try this?
Fillers and Botox
Lastly,cosmetic procedures can be done to improve problem lips. Specially fine line fillers can be used to smooth the vertical wrinkles around the lips as well as to fill the lips themselves for a puffier look if desired. Botox in small doses can also be used to relax the fine lines around the lips and can smooth out wrinkles here for months at a time. Although many MediSpa’s advertise for lip fillers,not everyone does this well. Lips that have been treated with Botox or fillers should be barely noticeable. If they look gigantic and ugly, someone screwed up, and now you're stuck with these bad boys for life! Think twice about doing botox. Fillers I am researching so I don't have as much literature as I had hoped to, however in my findings and from what I gather, fillers are less harmful than botox. I'm no expert, I'm just reporting to you what I gathered.
Your lips serve many many purposes....so before you do something silly read up on all the ways to enhance your beauty first! Your lips are what a man wants to see, touch and feel more so than any other part of your body. 90% of the people in this world kiss, so treat them good, and use them as a weapon of seduction! Pucker up, and lick those lips ladies....they are a sexy feature and your weapon of mass seduction! Don't forget to wear a protective lipstick or sealer to shield your lips from the weather; sun, wind, snow, ice, and rain.
