While this trend may sound fiery and exciting, it’s crucial to consider your personal circumstances before jumping onto the bandwagon.

Putting chilli peppers on your lips to achieve a plumper appearance may not be the best idea. Here’s why:

Intense sensation

If spicy foods already make you break a sweat, imagine what happens when you directly put chilli peppers on your delicate lips!

Chilli peppers contain a compound called capsaicin, which gives them their spicy heat.

When applied to the delicate skin of your lips, it can cause a burning or stinging sensation that may be uncomfortable or even painful.

Irritation and inflammation

Additionally, if you’re dealing with lip eczema, subjecting your sensitive skin to these trends might be like adding fuel to the fire.

The intense heat from the peppers can potentially worsen any existing inflammation, leading to discomfort and potential flare-ups.

It could also lead to allergic reactions including, redness, swelling, itching, or even more severe symptoms like hives or difficulty breathing.

Uneven results

This chilli pepper trend will unlikely provide long-lasting plumping effects.

While they may temporarily increase blood flow to the lips, resulting in a slight swelling, the effects are short-lived and may not be consistent or even.
