7 Tips to Get Healthy, Beautiful and Plumpy Lips

Lipstick is considered a must-have item for women. Many women believe that wearing lipstick can significantly impact their overall appearance and boost their self-confidence. It's no surprise that nearly all women carry at least one lipstick when they travel. When it comes to lipstick, did you know who was the first person to start the trend?

Based on various literature, upper-class Mesopotamians are believed to be the world's first “inventors” of lipstick. From 2500 BC to 1000 BC, local people began to apply “coloring” to the lips. Because using a combination of dyes was unsafe, ancient Egyptians eventually extracted deep red color from beetles and ants. Since then, Cleopatra, the Queen of Ancient Egypt, was often seen using red lipstick.

The development of lipstick spread to various countries and was popular among Greek and Roman actors. Although its popularity waned for a time, it surged again thanks to Queen Elizabeth I, who often wore bright red lipstick. To this day, lipstick is increasingly popular and has become a must-have item for women.

Tips to Get Naturally Plumpy Lips

Many believe that bright-colored lipstick is the best way to hide imperfections on the lips. However, prioritizing lip care is equally important for achieving naturally healthy and plumpy lips.

You don't always need fillers or surgery to enhance your lips; there are several natural methods you can try at home, such as:

1. Exfoliate Your Lips Regularly

In addition to removing dead skin cells for smoother lips, regular exfoliation can also boost circulation to the lips. By doing this, you can make your lips look brighter, softer, and plumper. You can try exfoliating your lips at home with natural ingredients like sugar.

Mix a tablespoon of sugar with honey, then rub it in a circular motion on the lips for 30-40 seconds. Let it sit for a minute, then wipe it off with a wet cloth. Do this twice a week for maximum results.

2. Apply lip balm

Remember to apply lip balm 2-4 times daily to plump your lips naturally. One recommended lip balm is the Procollagen Lip Primer from ULTIMA II. This product moisturizes the lips, making them look healthier and more voluminous. The Procollagen Complex Technology formula can also help reduce fine lines and wrinkles, while the Magic Color formula minimizes lip dullness, leaving your lips looking naturally brighter.

3. Use a lip mask

Lip masks are another great tip for achieving plumpy lips. They contain moisturizers, which help keep lips moisturized and supple.

The good news is that you can make a natural lip mask at home to get healthy and plumpy lips. All you need to do is mix aloe vera and honey. Apply on the lips, leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse off with lukewarm water. Use regularly for natural plumpy lips.

4. Do facial exercises

You can also plump up your lips and increase your lip volume by doing regular facial exercises to maintain skin elasticity and prevent wrinkles. You can do many facial exercises at home, one of which is to make the letter "O" with your mouth. Do this every day, at least ten times in a row, to prevent the appearance of fine lines around the lips.

You can also pinch your lips to make them look more plumpy and voluminous. To do this, pinch the lip area and then gently pull forward. This technique will increase microcirculation and make your lips look beautiful.

5. Massage with ice cubes

Massaging your lips with ice cubes for 2 minutes can make them look plumpy. The cold temperature stimulates blood circulation, which gives the lips a plumping effect. Although the effect is not permanent, this tip can make your lips look refreshed.

Wrap the ice cubes in a washcloth before applying them on your lips. Avoid applying ice cubes directly on the lips, as this can cause damage to the skin.

6. Use lip tint

When it comes to makeup products, lip tint is an essential item for creating plumpy lips. Unlike lipstick, lip tint has a lighter texture and offers a more natural color. It makes your lips look healthier and plumpier.

You can achieve plump lips with the Delicate Moisture Lip Tint from ULTIMA II. This beauty product features a lightweight formula enriched with collagen and shea butter, helping to smooth and soften the lips. Additionally, the satin finish gives lips a healthy, moisturized look with a beautiful glossy effect.

In addition to looking beautiful and charming, Delicate Moisture Lip Tint contains Vitamin E, which acts as an antioxidant, and Hyaluronic Acid to hydrate and protect lips from pollution and UV damage.

Delicate Moisture Lip Tint comes in five shades: Peach Sorbet, Rose Latte, Pink Praline, Berry Chantilly, and Cherry Torte.

7. Drink mineral water 

In addition to taking care of your lips, remember to drink mineral water regularly. Aim to drink at least 8-10 glasses, which is about 2 liters of water, every day. Drinking mineral water not only helps keep your lips hydrated and looking healthy and plumpy, but also plays a crucial role in maintaining skin health and reducing the risk of early signs of aging.

So, are you ready to have plumpy lips without fillers?
