The size of the lips depends on the facial features of each person. So, there is no need to worry too much. Although it is not possible to change the inherited shape much, it is possible to make them more attractive with proper care and makeup tips. As sudden unusual swelling of the lips may be due to allergies, seek the advice of a doctor in such cases.
You can try the following to make your lips slimmer and cleaner naturally:
1. Exercise to reduce lip fat
Exercising the facial muscles will help improve the shape of your lips.
‘Smiling Fish’ exercise: Pull your cheeks inwards and make your lips look like a fish (Fish face). Repeating this 5 times for 10 seconds each will give your lips a good shape.
2. Scrubbing
The accumulation of dead cells on the lips can make them look fuller.
How to do it: Mix sugar and a little honey and massage your lips gently. This will help reduce unwanted swelling and enhance the color.
3. Lemon juice and honey
Lemon juice can help reduce excessive lip swelling and smooth your lips. The bleaching properties of lemon help give your lips a clear shape.
4. Ice cube massage
If your lips feel swollen or excessively plump, massage them with an ice cube for a minute every day. This will help regulate blood flow and make your lips appear smaller.
5. Makeup Tips
The easiest way to make your lips look smaller is to use the right lipstick.
Use a ‘lip liner’ slightly inside the natural border of your lips.
Avoiding dark colors and using ‘nude’ or light colors will help make your lips look smaller.
