We all want healthy pink lips and thus a proper care need to be taken to achieve that. Our lips need just as much care as the rest of our skin. Lips have no oil or sweat glands, and they’re constantly exposed to irritants like environment pollutants, weather changes and hence external moisture is very important to keep them baby soft.

Lip scrub:

Scrubbing your lips helps you to get rid of the Dead cells, resulting in soft lips.

You can simply apply your lips with Plain, heavy Lip balm or even plain butter before going to bed and scrub of the dead cell with a tooth brush next morning while brushing.

Making a Sugar lips scrub, mix in some granulated sugar with Petroleum jelly or your Lip balm, mix it well and apply a layer on your lips. Scrub your lips in a circular motion and wipe off with a damp cloth or cotton. Baby Soft will be all yours!

 

 

Rosy lips:

To get rosy pink lips, here is a little trick that you can try

Crush some Rose petals and add a teaspoon of honey to it. If you are having little pigmented lips, add a teaspoon of Milk powder to it. Apply this mixture on your lips for 10-15 minutes and wipe off with wet cotton and apply your Lip balm.

Rose adds a little Pinkish tinge to your lips while honey and milk powder lightens the Lips.

Sun damages lips too:

The sun is known to increase the synthesis of melanin in the body. Therefore, using lip products, like lip balms and lip sticks which contain SPF or other sunscreens are better to ensure pink and healthy lips.

Use good cosmetics:

Excessive and prolonged use of cosmetics, especially the lipcolors / lipsticks which aren’t of good quality (containing heavy metals), can cause darkening of lips. Cosmetics that have natural extracts (like jojoba, Shea butter, pomegranate seed oil) in their composition should be chosen compared to the pro-chemical ones. Remove lip gloss, lipstick preferably with natural oils like coconut or almond oil. Check for expiry date before applying on the lips as using an expired product can cause severe allergy.

Genetic trait:

Some people are born with dark lips because of genetic factors. In such cases it is very difficult to lighten the colour of the lips naturally.

Other Natural Remedies:

Use of certain natural products, like lime juice, almond oil, glycerine, honey, rose petal extracts, cucumber juice, aloe Vera , are said to be helpful in moisturizing and nourishing the lips to  give them the healthy and pink look.

Coat Your Lips With Lip Balm Before Applying Lipstick:

This  ensures  that your lips are moisturized even with the Lipstick on. Avoid Matte lipsticks as they woul make the lips little dry. Instead go for Crème finish or Satin finish, and always make sure you moisturize your lips with chapstick before applying lipsticks and glosses.
