published on 10/02/2024In the vast world of products for fuller and more sensual lips, there is one ingredient that stands out for its effectiveness and, above all, for its naturalness: chili pepper. If you feel like experimenting with a natural and economical method to achieve fuller and brighter lips, then chili pepper might be right for you
The DIY Plumping Oil
To start, you'll only need two ingredients: oil and chili pepper. Here's how to prepare your plumping lip oil:
In a small container, pour a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil.
Add a pinch of chili pepper, no more than a teaspoon. Make sure the chili pepper is well mixed with the oil.
Gently apply this balm to your lips, avoiding the eye and mucous membrane area.
Leave it on for about 1-5 minutes.
Remove the oil with a tissue.
For a final touch, moisturize your lips with some palm oil, cocoa butter, or your favorite gloss.
The Secret of Capsicum
But what is the secret behind the effectiveness of chili pepper in making lips fuller and plumper? The answer lies in capsaicin, the active compound in chili pepper, which promotes vasodilation of the blood vessels in the lips. This process helps the lips appear more "puffy" and defined, adding volume and definition naturally. Additionally, chili pepper can give the lips a brighter red touch, making them even more captivating.
Recipe
If you're brave, you may have seen videos of people applying fresh chili pepper directly to their lips. However, be aware that this method can cause irritation. It's always better to dilute chili powder with a moisturizing oil to avoid discomfort.
Here's a simple recipe to prepare your plumping oil:
15 ml of extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon of Organic Cayenne Pepper Powder - No.4
A touch of cocoa butter to moisturize the lips after applying the oil
Mix the ingredients and apply the mixture to your lips following the instructions provided earlier. Always remember to do a small patch test before using any new lip product, especially if you're sensitive. In conclusion, if you want fuller and more captivating lips naturally, chili pepper might be the solution you've been looking for!
