BEST ESSENTIAL OIL HACKS

PEPPERMINT OIL = PLUMP YOUR LIPS

Peppermint has natural anti-inflammatory properties that help relieve and soothe dry, cracked lips. Due to the cooling sensation it gives the lips a light stinging sensation that causes it to numb and become plumper. Take a lip brush and then dip into the peppermint oil. Use the lip brush to apply the peppermint oil on your upper and lower lip or add 1 drop of peppermint essential oil to a tube of lip gloss. Apply as normal. Thanks to the peppermint, you’re lips will feel slightly tingly and look fuller!
