No Needle Lip Plumpers
We all know that lip fillers are the answer to a fuller looking pout. But with the amount of botched jobs streamed across our devices, and increasingly seen on our high street, it’s not surprising that many of us looking for alternatives.
Luckily for us, the cosmetics lords have taken note and we can now find a whole host of innovative, non-invasive alternatives to injectable fillers. A far cry from the old school menthol flavoured glosses, that left little more than a tingle and a rather odd taste. today’s lip plumper are loaded with fortifying benefits that work progressively over time for results that last.
As with skincare, you’re not going to get results over night. Oh ok, you might benefit from some temporary plumping, similar to a hydration boosting face mask but nothing that’s going to stick. For real results, its all about the progressive results. Which means embarking on a specialised skin routine for your lips.
When looking for lip treatment try and avoid any of the temporary plumbers, that use ingredients such as chilli or menthol to cause inflation, as this will only irritate the skin on your lips. Over time this continuous inflammation could damage your skin barrier, leaving it exposed to environmental aggressors and causing further ageing. Something we want to avoid when trying to achieve a more youthful plumper pout.
Instead you need to look for a product that is going to boost hydration. For the best results you want to be incorporating some kind of hyaluronic acid into your lip care regime. Sodium hyaluronte, is one of our go to ingredients. Derived from hyaluronic acid it, it can penetrate more easily, deeply hydrating the lips, while plumping surface lines and holding in moisture, thanks it’s ability to hold up to 1000 times its weight in water.
Next you need to ensure you are applying the product consistently. At least once in the morning and once at night, for a minimum of 6 weeks unless the product specifies otherwise. And while you won't get the same results from a product as you would with filler, with today’s science-led formulations, you can get pretty close.
