Expert Answer

Cinnamon irritates your mucus membrane and increases blood circulation, which makes your lips look fuller. Because of this, it would be a great ingredient in a natural lip scrub.

How long do the effects of Method 1 last?

Community Answer

If you mean plumping, it lasts a few hours. It's not permanent.

Question

Can I make more to apply as the day goes on?

Community Answer

Yes. You will need to reapply so your lips don't dry out.

Question

Can I leave it on overnight?

Community Answer

Don't leave the ground cinnamon mixture (from method 1) on your lips longer than a few minutes. The plumping effect happens within this time frame. Leaving the mixture on longer than a few minutes or overnight does not increase the plumping effect and increases the likelihood of swallowing and over-irritation. The mixture in method 2 *can* be left on - apply it just like you would apply a lip gloss and re-apply as needed!

Question

Would clove oil work?

Cecilia Flores

Top Answerer

Clove oil can work as well, but it won't be as effective as cinnamon or peppermint oil.

That's the thing with these beauty methods, it all goes back to body chemistry. It may work for some people and not for others.

Question

How long is the effect of ground cinnamon?

Ground cinnamon can plump your lips for a few minutes - just enough time to take a few selfies.

Question

Can I use tea tree oil instead of cinnamon?

Community Answer

Cinnamon really helps the process of making your lips appear bigger. Tea tree oil should not be put on your lips in case it is licked and swallowed; it is toxic (poisonous) if ingested. As such, it should never be used around or in the mouth at all.

How long does it stay?

Rahnuma

Community Answer

It usually stays for a few hours, but if used once or twice a week for more than 3 months, permanent results may be seen. But this should never be used more than twice per week.

Question

Why cinnamon leaf oil and not cinnamon bark oil? Is there something wrong with cinnamon bark oil?

Anindita Das

Community Answer

The leaf is more beneficial than the bark. However, if it helps you in your skincare, then there is no need of bark and leaf.
