A Beauty Blogger Shows Us How To ‘Fake’ Bigger Lips If You’re Over 50 With Thin Lips: ‘Fuller, Plumper’

For many women over 50, thinning lips can be one of the more noticeable signs of aging. But beauty blogger Kimberly from Pretty Over 50 recently shared a step-by-step tutorial showing how mature women can achieve the appearance of fuller, plumper lips — without injections or expensive treatments.

Kimberly emphasizes that the first step in creating a fuller lip look is exfoliation. “Just like the rest of our face, our lips benefit from exfoliating,” she explains. Gentle exfoliation removes dry, flaky skin, making lips appear smoother and slightly plumper.

She suggests two simple methods: using a toothbrush to lightly massage the lips in small circles or applying a sugar-based lip scrub. She recommends the Honole Sugar Lip Scrub for its hydrating formula but notes that drugstore options, like ELF’s lip scrub, or DIY sugar scrubs work just as well. “Even just a few minutes of exfoliation can make a noticeable difference,” Kimberly says.
