The latest lip plumper?
1/11/08
Cancel your Restalyne appointment, you can have pillow lips overnight and with NO goopy gloss.
I unfortunatley can't take credit for discovering this, but it definitely worked for me. The theory is that HA is one of the main ingredients in almost all of the latest topical lip plumpers. HA pulls moisture from your body, skin or even the air and swells up.
You will need Hyaluronic Acid capsules, found in any grocery store vitamin aisle. Make sure you just get HA, or maybe one with collagen as well. But don't bother with any that have more than those 2 ingredients listed. Jewel Osco/Albertson's often have the 20 mg bottle for $9.99, buy one get one free.
If you get the 20 mg, you will need to take 2-4 a day to get results. (start with 2 and go up if you don't see any noticeable difference the next day.
If you get a higher, the less you will have to take. Best results are 60mg.
I take 40mg at lunch and then another 40mg before bed. The next morning, my lips were cushiony, puffy, pillows enought to freak me out. In a good way.
Make sure you drink plenty of water all day since that is what the HA uses to work. (You should be doing that, anyway)
Hyaluronic Acid is a major component of almost all anti-aging skin treatments now. In fact, Restylane is a form of HA that is injected into the lips. (Restylane is the new collagen in lip augmentation) HA is also great for all of your skin and joints since it declines with age.
So don't go under the needle- take your supplements and reap the benefits!
