With the drying and flaking effects of the winter on the lips, investing in lip scrubs to moisturize and get rid of the dry skin that's flaking on the surface is one of most people's choices. A lip balm follows after using the lip scrubs to induce moisture and shine beyond the cold and drying effects of the winter. Lip scrub first appeared like an inconvenience. They can be dirty, and dipping your finger inside a pot if they are packed that way is far from sanitary. However, lip scrubs in stick form have been developed for less mess and germs, and they are said to treat lip damage with an excellent scientific solution. However, a subsequent press statement from Dr. Dennis Gross invalidated the entirety of this procedure.

According to Dr. Gross, "the skin on your lips is highly unlike the skin on your face and is more like the skin inside of your mouth. One-third of the thickness of the skin on your face, the skin on your lips has a unique top layer that doesn't gather dead skin cells and is relatively thin. You need to replace that barrier, not strip it off, in order to treat dry, chapped lips. By eliminating the lips' outer layer of protection with a scrape, you put them at even greater risk."

It is always a good idea to revisit your past lip-scrubbing regimens after reading this. It is obvious that scraping the dry, flaky lips off would not be beneficial for the lips. Josh Zeichner, a dermatologist in New York City, provided some views relating to these beliefs to support Dr. Gross's logic. According to Dr. Zeichner, "Whenever I advise people to exfoliate dry skin, whether it is on their bodies or lips, I take caution." "For dry, flaky skin, I advise moisturizing as a first step. You can exfoliate or use a scrub after moisturizing," he adds. Scrubbing dry skin can cause irritation and breaks in the skin's surface layer, which ultimately makes the dryness worse.

Here are simple but important key tips for replacing the routine of lip scrubbing:

• Instead of using scrubs on your lips, use deep-moisturizing serums and balms. Additionally, exfoliate the body carefully and only after hydrating the skin.
• Consider replenishing your lip care supply with some of our favorite moisturizing lip products now that your collection could benefit from a little cleaning out.

Dr. Dennis Gross formulated this new Hyaluronic Marine Collagen Lip Cushion which increases the formation of chondroitin sulfate, a sister substance of hyaluronic acid that is more common in the lips, on a natural basis in your lips.

Many women find that they have chapped lips,the lips are dry and have cracks, especially during winter in areas with cold weather. Eating or even speaking with chapped lips can be painful. So these women are interested in finding the best way to treat the chapped lips so that they heal quickly. They would prefer to use a home remedy with easily available ingredients since it is convenient and inexpensive. One of the most effective home remedies for chapped lips is applying a lip mask to the lips. The lip mask should remain on the lips for sometime to replenish the dry lips and revive them by moisturizing them

The main ingredients of the lip mask are Greek yogurt or any other type of yogurt which will remove the dead skin from the lips while adding protein and moisture to the lips. Clay used in the mask will help in getting rid of the dry skin flakes or residues from the skin. If clay is not available, baking soda may be used. If a floral hydrosol like rose or lavender is readily available at home, spray the lip mask with the hydro-sol, for additional hydration of the lips. When the lip mask has been applied for some time, and lips rinsed to clean them, the dryness of the lips should have disappeared. Step wise instructions are provided below

Ingredients required for making the lip mask

• Quarter teaspoon yogurt
• Quarter teaspoon baking soda or clay
• Optional ingredient- rose, lavender or other floral hydrosol

Making and applying the lip mask

• Mix the clay (or baking soda) and yogurt to form a paste. A small amount of aloe or spray of floral hydrosol should be also added to the lip mask paste if possible.
• Applying a thick layer of the paste to the dry lips.
• If possible after applying the lip mask, the top layer should be sprayed with the lavender/rose hydrosol. This will help in proper absorption of the moisture and nutrients in the lips, and ensure that the lips do not get dehydrated.
• The lip mask should remain in place for at least ten to fifteen minutes.
• Rinse the lips to clean them and remove the lip mask.
• Usually the lips are sensitive after the lip mask is removed, so they should be sprayed with a hydrosol for moisturizing and healing. Additionally the preferred lip balm should also be applied to the lips for healing.

In the appearance-competitive world of Instagram, we might say these lip Botox or Lip Flips and Lip fillers seem to be more prolific than they were before. That's the effect of selfies - ordinary people, celebrities, and social media influencers have become consciously hyper-aware of their outward appearance and how they look and reflect on the world of social media. Eyelash extensions, botox, and microblading are those treatments that almost every lady does to just become "on-of-them". But, lip fillers are now on the rise instantaneously. And its results are undeniably long-lasting.

I completely understand how it feels to have that desire to at least do a little tweak on your appearance. I admit I am someone who wished to have that more "pillowy" looking lips. I have had a nose job done as well as botox myself, so I am not that opposing to these beauty injectables. However, we know a lot of people are afraid to get one, and there's no judgment on that. I admit I have had the fear and I don't feel like I need them yet.

Britta Plug is a Gua Sha Expert and the founder of Wildling a natural skincare company said that there are people who have thin decreased lip volume. The New York City's holistic facialist expert says people lose their juiciness! Even younger women seem like wanting to get that natural plumpness back and that is why others prefer to go for cosmetic injections.

Good thing, Plug has shared her knowledge about the natural alternative for lip fillers. Plump Lips sans injectables are very possible though it is not as long-lasting and it produces a different result. According to Plug, plumping lip glosses don't really last long. Plug was talking about the tingly lip glosses in the 2000s. Ideally, it stimulates circulation on a regular or daily basis. It somehow helps preserve the youthfulness of the lips. This plumping lip gloss technique has helped her clients to prevent the loss of volume in the lips. It also helps minimize the "smoker's lines" appearance which usually appears and shows up on the lips as a woman ages.

1. Prepare the Tool

First off, we will need a Gua Sha Board with a "comb edge" like this one from the Wildling. This board comb edge stimulates lip circulation.

2. Prepare your skin.

Prepare your skin. Make sure to have a hydrosol or toner and natural face oils on hand before doing the Gua Sha technique. Then, Spritz the hydrosol onto your entire face and next to that is to apply some ample amount of oil. All you have to do is to put on a few drops on your hand, then rub your palms together, and lightly press on the oil into your face and neck gently and evenly.

3. Hold Your Lips Stretched

Hold your stretched lips using your non-dominant hand. It will help you get the precision and it will keep the Gua Sha board from bumping into your nose or teeth. And then, do this small exercise on your face in six sections: First, upper left lip, upper right-left, then lower left lip, then top middle lip, and lastly the bottom middle lip.

4. Side-to-Side Combing Along the Lips

Move the comb edge fast with just enough friction right along the lip's outer edge. This will bring the color and plumpness of the lips too. Counterintuitive it may be, but just be very gentle on the lips itself. Just go over your lip's skin very lightly. It is sensitive and thin skin, and it should not receive the same pressure as you do to other parts of your face.

Gua Sha Lip Plumping Tips

There are times that techniques work for all just like any routine that we know. If you have fillers or botox around your lips, you have to wait for days before you attempt to do this technique. Applying pressure and bringing the circulation to this area of your face can cause breaking down unevenly of the fillers. Only do this technique once a day. Gua Sha works effectively on the tissues of your face. Overstimulation will lead to breakouts and redness. Just do this at least every other day or once a day.

Let us start with upper lip waxing at home. Some said that it is easy while some said it is absolutely painless but, in my experience that was nothing like this at all. If you do not have a proper guidance or set of instructions, upper lip waxing at home can lead to adverse side effects or unintended results.

Personal upper lip waxing experience

In my personal experience, it is something I did for the first time. I generally use tweezers to pluck out the stray hairs now and then but this time I thought of doing something different for my peach fuzz. I generally do not have a dense hair growth on my body and face but it was gradually being difficult for me to pluck out the extremely small stray hair including peach fuzz with the help of tweezers. I was confused for a while as I have blonde hair and the blonde peach fuzz was becoming quite visible. Thus, it was high time that I did something other than tweezing facial hair off and I opted to go for a waxing kit for my facial hair.

What does a waxing kit contains and how was the waxing experience?

The wax kit includes multiple ready-to-use wax strips along with some cleansing cloths dipped in oil. I started by ripping open a single strip from the bunch. Next, I had to peel the plastic cover backwards so that the sticky wax side of the strip can be applied on to my upper lip.

Note: It is advisable to rub the strips between your palms to heat the strip a tad bit. This will allow the strip to separate from the plastic smoothly and also to have an easy application.

After waiting for a few seconds, as instructed, I tried to peel or rip the strip off but to my dismay, the strip did not dislodge from its position and remained stuck. Just imagine the pain I went through at this very moment. Truly speaking I panicked a bit but didn't lose hope. I tried to tug it in and due to that it came off along with some hair with it. I won't say it didn't work, because it did despite of the pain and emotional distress I had to go through. I must say high endurance is required, then you will feel good about it because it does the work.

Lastly, I completed the process by using the oil wipes to clean off any residual wax sticking on my skin followed by a good rinse. Voila! I am on my peach fuzz free period.

I was unaware of the side effects that might come with the waxing experience. But, unexpected things happens the most so next morning I woke up with rashes and redness all over my upper lip. I was constantly thinking that I did something wrong in the process so I googled it up to search for remedies for breakouts post upper lip waxing. As expected, thousands of results popped up and majority of them said to be aware of the oil cloth post waxing.

Note: Oil can clog the pores even more resulting in breakouts and rashes. Phew! Wish I knew.

Some Oils are good for health

It is a myth that every oil is bad for skin while applying after waxing. However, this point can be proven wrong by giving some prior and beneficial usage of oils. Oils can be good for use after waxing especially without the application of any non-mineral-based oil. Even the goodness of oils also depends on person to person if they are not allergic to any materials of waxing as well. Side by side it is also proved that oils can protect and nourish the new skin of the person after removing the dead skins on it through waxing. Oils are also good at keeping the skin hydrating as well. Based on that discussion it is to be stated that the myth of being bad for every oil for waxing can be contradicted.

Cautions of using Oils

There are many side effects of using oils that are also exited after waxing. Though oils are good for skin, they can capture the bacteria under the skin pores while massaging soon after the waxing process. To avoid that risk, aloe vera gel or any other moisturizing lotions can be applied after the waxing to close the opened skin pores. Thus, the problem can be resolved, and oils are saved to be accused of being bad for waxing sessions.

Best results

There are many obstacles and slight side effects have been noticed when using oil after waxing. To avoid all these issues and provide the best result, application of antiseptic creams can play a new supporting role in that context. For example, aloe vera gel and mild antiseptics can be used to provide the best results, especially if the person has sensitive skin. Side-by-side antiseptic can reduce any allergic reactions to waxing as well.

Though there are also few oils that do not block any skin pores and trap any bacteria as they are light by nature. Oils like olive oil, tea tree oil, essential oils with antiseptic goods, and so on can prevent any kind of breakout in the skin as well. Even these oils are very effective and beneficial to use in massaging soon after the waxing.

There are also two kinds of reactions in the skin noticed after waxing, such as hives and breakouts. Both are different by nature as breakouts take time to be shown up, while hives take shape all of a sudden and go away in that way.

Application of the high-quality products

High-quality products and their application can impact the results of any kind of thing, and so does the skin and waxing as well. The application of low-quality products to wax can damage the skin with huge effects. On the other hand, high-quality wax products provide the best and most skin-friendly ingredients in them, so that skin cannot be affected negatively. Even using high-quality products of wax from reputed and famous brands can provide fewer chances to have side effects in the sensitive areas of the face and skin as well.

Lip scrubs are an established player in the world of lip care. The benefits of a lip scrub are plenty, removing dead skin cells, revitalizing your lips, and increasing their effect. New resident DIY guru Adina Grigore was tasked with showcasing her personal lip scrub recipe. As the founder of the highly successful S.W.Basics skincare line and author of Skin Cleanse skincare guide, Grigore is the perfect person to share her secrets.

Grigore values powerful lip scrubs, this is why her recipe is filled with nourishing ingredients. Grigore begins by explaining, "Coconut and sugar are a lib scrub recipe's best friends. This is because sugar is a natural exfoliating presence and coconut oil re-hydrates skin that has been exposed. Not to mention, that the two mixes perfectly. Resulting in a paste that can be left on for the amount of time required to get the desired effect.

Always remember to exercise moderation in use. The scrub works wonderfully but too much of anything is always a bad thing. Don't over-exfoliate your lips because this will result in a painful experience. A painful experience that will take some time to heal and may even cause your lips to scab. Be careful.

Their effects are only improved with the introduction of cinnamon and honey. Cinnamon is great for blood circulation which makes lips plumper. While honey protects and exfoliates.".

Read on to find out how exactly Grigore makes these four ingredients work to her liking.

What You Will Need To Make The Scrub

1. One tablespoon of either brown or raw sugar.
2. One tablespoon of honey.
3. One teaspoon of coconut oil that has been unrefined.
4. One-fourth of a teaspoon of cinnamon or five droplets of cinnamon oil.

Directions For Making The Scrub

5. Begin by filling up an entire bowl with your sugar of choice. Grigore instructs, "Within the small bowl, mix your honey into the sugar.".
6. What comes next is that you will want to take your coconut oil and stir it into the mix. "It is essential that you leave a few chunks of coconut oil because the fiber from said chunks will only prove to enhance the scrubbing quality.", Grigore states. Afterward, she begins to slowly and gently stir in the cinnamon.
7. By now, you should have a working result from the formula. Take a liberal amount of the paste and press it onto your lips, scrubbing it in for extra efficiency. Grigore goes on to say, "You will want to leave the mix on your lips for a few minutes after the scrubbing phase. You need not fear accidentally swallowing some of the paste because not only is it tasty but it is also harmless.".
8. Grigore now provides us with the final instructions. "Begin rinsing the paste with water and scrubbing with your fingers as you do so.". She goes on to state that sensitivity in the lips is common after having completed the process. You can choose to tend to it by applying coconut oil or some lip balm.

Full lips are desirable to all. However not all people get enough volume so that their pout looks good and beautiful every day. Nowadays, people are also trying to pull off this look by themselves and such trends are available on Instagram and other social media channels as well. Some of the options for having full lips include injectables and fillers that are cosmetic and dermatological treatments. While the procedures can change the look of the natural lips, it is not affordable or available to everybody. However, you can also use your lip liner and do some overdrawing. It can be used to shape your lips in the desired way and can make your lips appear fuller. Your minor efforts will ensure that you look beautiful and have fuller lips while not spending an enormous amount on them. Below are some tips and methods that will help you have fuller lips at home.

Access the Shape of Your Lips

When you want to overdraw and overline the shape of your lips you should try to assess it closely. Different people may have lips of different shapes. You should try to find out where you should be putting extra fullness so that your lips look better and fuller with the desired consistency. For instance, a person would like to have more volume on her upper lips. However, while doing so the lips must appear consistent. Therefore, you may have to work on your bottom lip as well for cleaner, natural, and consistent looks.

Choose the Right Color

Your lipstick and the lip liner must match themselves well enough. You may want that your lips appear bolder or maybe choose a nude lip. However, the look will be only pulled off well enough when the lipstick and the lip liner have a perfect match. If this is your first time and you are only practicing, you can choose neutral colors and learn how to draw the shapes accurately. The colors of the lipstick and the lip liner should not be drastic and should complement well with each other. An obvious difference between the two will only deteriorate the look.

Prepare the Lips for Overlining

Before you start with the process of overlining your lips you should first exfoliate and moisturize them. If the lips are chapped or dry, a seamless look may not be easy to obtain. The application of a moisturizer will also ensure that the lipstick does not flake during the day. The entire process requires no more than a minute. You first need to apply the exfoliator for approximately 30 seconds. Next, wipe away all the dead cells of the skin and put on a moisturizer and a lip balm that you like.

Fill the Lip's Outer Corners First

Most people would first focus on the lip's cupid bow when they are trying to overline their lips. However, mistakes may start to occur when they try to extend the overlining process and begin with the corners. The best way of overlining is to start with the outer corners of the lips first. This way you will make lesser mistakes and will also get a more perfect shape. The liner can be applied to the outer lip corners of the mouth just over and above the natural lip. When you do overlining this way, it becomes easy for you to fill in the bottom and top parts of the lips. Also do not exaggerate the over lining and keep only within a few millimeters of the natural lip lining.

Do An "X" on the Cupid Bow

You need to determine whether the lip portions are looking even. For that, you have to make the shape of "X" at the lip's cupid bow. Extend the lines of the imaginative X at each of the sides to determine the extent of overlining. The topmost portions of the lips should look even, but they don't need to be perfect. This way, the sides of the top lip will look more even.

Fill in Lip's Remaining Portions

People often forget to fill in the remaining portions of the lips when they do lining. However, if you want a more natural look and finish, you should fill in all the remaining lip portions with the lip liner lightly. It will also ensure that nobody can detect the lip lines, as they won't be obvious anymore. Use the liner for light application and make the fill-in more even, so that the shape is useful for some time.

Soften Lip's Edges

For a natural and fuller look, you want more than the distinct outlining of the lips. You can use a lip brush, a Q tip, or even your finger to gently blend/blur the lip outline that you have just created. When you soften the lip's edges, it can provide for a more natural look and smile. It is far better than an illusional look created by makeup.

Apply Lipstick

Now that you have applied the lip liner, you need to apply the lipstick for filling in the lips and for giving them complete coverage and finish. You can choose between a matte or a shiny finish. A shiny finish will be preferred by those who want lip gloss.

Add Some Highlight/Gloss for Extra Dimension

The application of gloss will provide an extra level of dimension. You can choose it if you do not want a matte finish and look. You can put some extra fullness by applying clear or light shades. You can also use a cream highlighter or concealer for highlighting and lining the inner portions of your lower and upper lips. This way you can avoid a glossy appearance while also adding extra layers to the lips.

The Desired Result

Once the whole process and application are completed, you will find that your lips appear fuller naturally, and it does not seem to be artificial or a result of makeup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ques: How to overline the lips without using a lip liner?

Ans. There are ways for having overlined lips, even when you do not have access to a lip liner. While the methods and the steps would be the same for lining the lips, you can replace the lip liner with lipstick and a lip brush.

Ques: Can I use the eyeliner as a lip liner?

Ans. A good quality eyeliner can be used in place of a lip liner, provided you have checked the ingredient list before the application.

However, you should ensure that you are putting on some extra lip balm as the eyeliners may have a drying effect. The best substitute for lip liner will be cream eyeliner and pencil as they will provide the best consistency.

The reason for people biting their lips is plentiful. Some can be frustrated by the dry, flaky skin that can occur. In other instances, the biting of lips can be linked to anxiety or stress. In either instance, people will search for effective ways to help them stop biting their lips.

Although some people may be unaware of the reasons why people bite their lips or the damage it can potentially do to them. In many instances, lip biting can become a habit, meaning many people are subjected to swollen lips and sores and even suffer from jaw ache.

Those who have not considered the ramifications of lip biting may be unsure where to start when trying to stop. Fortunately, those waiting to eradicate li biting can use the following steps.

Be Aware of Triggers

In most instances, there will be a reason why people suddenly start biting their lips and knowing the trigger can aid those wanting to reduce the number of times this happens. Those who find that stress is the trigger need to make lifestyle changes. This will help minimize lip-biting and allow you to benefit from an improved mindset.

When finding peace of mind becomes complex or frustrating, other forms of treatment may be required. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is very effective in treating stress, again allowing for several lifestyle improvements.

If stress and anxiety affect other factors of life, then medical advice should be sought as soon as possible to ensure the right treatment can be put in place.

In less severe cases, lip chewing can occur when focusing on tasks or sitting at a computer. In these instances, it is advisable to find a substitute when chewing. Long-lasting chewing gum like Ice Breakers Ice Cubes can ensure that you can focus without worrying about the taste running out quickly.

Over time, substituting the chewing means you are not subjecting them to long-term damage without being aware.

Ensure Cleansing Your Lips is Part of Your Daily Routine

The morning and evening routine can be time-consuming, so it is understandable why the lips are overlooked. However, those wanting to reduce lip-biting must ensure that their lips are cleansed. Lips are subjected to the same UV rays and pollution that skin is, and if neglected, can become dry and chapped.

When searching for products, it is not unusual to be met with a wide range of products and services. Although people will want an affordable solution, it is vital to ensure that it can offer the protection and application you are searching for.

Fortunately, plenty of affordable products are available that allow for a fast and effective lip treatment, including the Dermalogica ProCleanse Balm. Conventional lip balms are suitable for emergency situations, but they are not a long-term solution for lip biting.

Many will only apply moisture for a short time, meaning numerous applications must be made to the lips throughout the day. As such, they are investing in a long-term solution that offers more value for money and practicality.

Do Not Forget to Exfoliate

Exfoliating the lips may be a new concept to some but is integral when trying to reduce dry and flaky skin. Of course, the lips are more delicate than other areas of the face, so those wanting to rescue lip biting cannot use conventional methods.

A dedicated solution like Stacked Skincare Hydrating Lip Peel Exfoliant ensures that dry skin is kept at bay and lips are moisturized throughout the day. If you would prefer a powder option, then the Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant may be a better fit. The powder still offers the same subtle application and contains natural ingredients so that users can be confident there are no side effects.

There are even organic options available, including Agave+ Weekly Lip Scrub, a luxurious balm made with Fairtrade ingredients that complements any beauty routine.

Exfoliating the lips is a straightforward process that, when used in conjunction with other steps, ensures your lips always look and feel their best.

Keep Your Lips Moisturized

After the lips have been cleansed and exfoliated, it is crucial to moisturize lips to ensure they remain healthy. Although some exfoliation and cleansers provide moisture, having a routine in place ensures that you can prevent lip biting.

When moisturizing lips, it is vital to use a recognised and reputable brand. There are several options available depending on your requirements. Those searching for products recommended by dermatologists may want to try Aquaphor Lip Repair or the equally effective Antioxidant Lip Repair from SkinCeuticals.

Include Lip Care as Part of Your Nightly Routine

Many may not know that lips repair is more common as we sleep. However, ensuring that lip care is part of your night routine means that a nightly routine can aid the process.

As with other aspects of lip care, dedicated products ensure that your lip's natural repair is bolstered as your rest. One of the most innovative products that can offer this feature is the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask.

Using this product allows you to see results sooner rather than later and is ideal for those worried about the potential sun damage and dryness that can occur throughout the day.

Choose a Bold Lipstick

Although often cited as beauty alone, a bold lipstick can provide plenty of protection regarding lips if you invest in the right one. The NARS Audacious Lipstick is a popular choice, as is the award-winning Bite Beauty's Power Move Creamy Matte Lip Crayon.

In addition to looking fantastic, using reputable lipsticks like those mentioned above ensures that your lips are protected whether you are working in the office or attending a social event.

Given there can be several reasons for the onset of dry lips, it is vital to find a routine that works for you. The product listed will benefit all, but there can be other changes to be made for improvements to be made.

However, being aware of the triggers and the treatments available ensures that you take the right steps to stop biting your lips in the long term.

Rather than harmful hyaluron pens about which FDA has currently alerted

Once there was a time when people were merely habituated to the DIY methods. Suddenly, the rage for readymade products took hold of the entire global market.

If you use these types of instruments you may face a lot of serious issues like bleeding, bruising, infection, scarring, and so on according to FDA. Somanek says that there are a lot of nerve endings in our lips, so if anything bad happens it will inflate and damage instantly because it is a sensitive area, and the softest part.  If you inject the wrong injection the flow of blood can be obstructed too.

According to a famous dermatologist Dr. Corey L. Hartman, there are a lot of side effects of it like a fungal and bacterial infection, eye infections, and so on.

A lip tattoo is exactly what it sounds like, it's an inking done inside the mouth on the interior of the lip. It appeals to a lot of people because it is hidden but can be shown off when wanted. You can choose any design that you want to have on your lip but keep in mind that the surface is much smaller so most people go for a word. Experts have said that a simple and bold is best to go in this area, if you are going for something detailed, it will likely get ruined over time due to the size. Although you should keep it small, the choice of whether to go for black and white or color is completely up to you!

Tattoos usually last forever of course but that is not the case with lip tattoos so that is something to keep in mind if you are considering a tattoo in the area. There is no guarantee of how long it will last but the average is between one and five years, and this is because of the rapid cell production in this particular area.

What is the pain and healing like?

No tattoos are a walk in the park but tattoos in the mouth are known to be particularly painful. The skin in this area is extremely thin and there are also more nerve endings than you can imagine. There is no doubt that your lip is one of the most painful areas of your body to get tattooed and you should also keep in mind that you will have to hold your lip turned out and keep it still for the entirety of the process. It shouldn't take too long though since it is such a small area but really consider if you can deal with the pain before you go for it.

Your mouth is jam-packed with bacteria so it is really important that you care for your lip tattoo in the proper way to help stop infection and complications. If you do this right, your new inking should heal within about two weeks. You obviously can't wash the inside of your lip with antibacterial soap so the aftercare is slightly different so instead, it is recommended that you just use an antibacterial mouthwash. When your tattoo is still healing, it is recommended that you stay away from acidic and spicy foods because this could mess up the way the ink settles on your skin, and it is also advised that you don't smoke during this time.

Are there any side effects?

We have covered the pain and the healing process so now it's time to look at any possible side effects related to getting your lip tattooed. It should be noted that there is a higher risk of infection with these tattoos compared to any other due to the mucus and bacteria in the mouth. To lower the odds of this happening to you, make sure that you seek out a professional tattoo artist using sterile and clean tools. You could also look for a tattoo artist who is specialized in lip tattoos because they will have more of a clue about what they are doing with this tricky area.

So how do you know if you are having an infection with your lip tattoo? It's just a case of checking it as often as you can during the healing process and following the aftercare tips. Immediately after the tattoo, some swelling and redness is common but this should not stretch on for more than a couple of days. Other signs that you have an infection include pain and fever, with these getting worse over time.

There is one more possible side effect to lip tattoos and that is possible scarring, this will usually only happen if you do not care for your tattoo properly either by not using mouthwash, smoking, or eating any of the foods that are not advised. If you do get scarring your tattoo will look warped and you could be left with a permanent scar on the inside of your lip.

Conclusion

If you want a tattoo that you can hide and something that is quite unique, there is no doubt that a lip tattoo is a good option and it's definitely a talking point with family, friends, and even strangers too. Consider the possible side effects though because these are slightly different than with tattoos done in other areas. If you've decided to go through the process, the most important thing to do is find a reputable tattoo artist and make sure that you are aware of the healing process and what you can/cannot do during the aftercare.
