Get rid of dark lips

Worried about dark lips, here are some home remedies.

Dark lips can make you less confident and mar the beauty of a smile. Here's how to get naturally pink and healthy lips.

Lemon - Rubbing lemon juice over darkened lips can help lighten them. Being a natural bleaching agent, lemon helps remove pigmentation and dark spots on skin also.

Cucumber - Cucumber juice is cooling and can help bring the colour back to darkened, dry lips due to their moisturizing qualities also.

Beetroots - Rub some beetroot juice onto your lips and leave it on for 5-10 minutes allowing the skin to soak it all up. Wash it off and repeat this for a few days until you see the pinkness coming back in your lips.

Olive oil - Massaging your lips with olive oil before bed can help to not just lighten the lips but also bring moisture and flexibility to them.

Sugar - Sugar is an excellent exfoliating agent and can scrub all your dead skin cells away. You can make a sugar lip balm by mixing two spoons of granulated sugar with one spoonful of butter and use it several times a day.
