Natural Secrets of Beauty — Part 4

Adapted from “Secrets of Youth and Beauty” by Daniele Ryman.

Women are forever looking for new ways of enhancing their lips. Collagen injections and High-Street lip plumps head the list. What we dread, however, is the ghastly “trout pout”.

Many women are now turning to natural balms which have a gentler action. The following natural lip plump is an inexpensive home remedy.

Simply massage it into your lips twice a day and you will have fuller lips in no time at all.

You will need :

10ml (1 tbspn) jojoba oil
5ml (1 tspn) castor oil
5ml (1 tspn) argan oil
2 capsules wheatgerm oil
A 50ml bottle

Mix all the ingredients in the bottle and apply to the lips, gently pressing in with the fingertips. Massage into the skin around the mouth in a clockwise direction, pulling out both upper and lower lips slightly and rubbing in.

Apply a little more oil to the lips and leave for a few minutes before removing the surplus with a tissue. Ideally use twice a day.

The oil will keep for a month in the fridge.
