Fuller lips have been one of the biggest beauty trends for years. But lip fillers? They are painful, expensive and not without risks. Fortunately, there are countless ways to make your lips look plumper and more cared for, entirely without needles.
Beauty blog Miss Prettiness previously tested a hydrogel lip mask. We dive deeper into the subject and look at what really works.
Why do lips get thinner?
From your thirties onwards, your body produces less collagen and hyaluronic acid — the substances that give your lips their volume. Sun damage, smoking and dehydration also play a role.
Do lip masks actually work?
Most lip masks act as an intense hydration boost with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, collagen and vitamin E. The effect is subtle and temporary, but can make a difference for a special occasion.
The daily routine that works
- Gently scrub your lips once or twice a week
- Invest in a good lip balm with beeswax, SPF and vitamin E
- Hydrate from within — minimum 1.5 litres of water daily
- Protect against sun and cold
