Cinnamon on lips

Just wondering but to achieve bigger lips I heard about using cinnamon, is this safe? Like it won't cause any long term damage or anything will it? :)

Cinnamon is an irritant. Putting it on skin can cause nasty reactions, potentially severe enough to scar. Reactions include swelling, redness, itching, burning, hives, blisters, or burns. I wouldn't put it on skin, especially sensitive skin like the mouth. I know it is an ingredient in some lip plumpers, but I really wouldn't risk it.

Cinnamon makes an amazing facial mask so I don't see why you can't use it on lips. As long as your not allergic and nothing weird happens when you use it, it perfectly fine :)

You can use it but I would recommend mixing it with some sort of oil or honey to soften it a little.

Cinnamon is horrible for the face. I don't know how many posts I've seen on here about people using it as a mask and how badly it's turn out. One girl posted and it looked like she had a bad sun burn so be really careful.

It doesn't really work. Just get lip plump lip gloss.

Congratulations Amanda. I said it is an irritant and can cause reactions, I didn't say it is guaranteed to melt your flesh. Reactions to cinnamon are very common and can be severe; I was advocating caution in topical application.
