Lip Plumping FAQ
- Is this safe for your lips?
- Yes. As long as you aren't allergic to cinnamon or other ingredients. Do a spot test on your inner arm to see if your skin reacts negatively to any ingredients.
- Will this cause irritation?
- It will feel tingly (which means the plumping is working!). If it's itchy, burning, or swelling, remove the lip oil from your lips. You can dilute with more base oil so the plumping isn't as intense.
- How often can I use this lip plumping oil?
- As often as you want and as often as your lips like it. If your lips start cracking or drying out, use less often. The moisturizing base oil and Vitamin E oil will help keep your lips moisturized.
