How to achieve natural pink lips

- By HALIMA ABDULRAZAK

Have you always wanted to have beautiful, rose-coloured pink lips without having to use beauty products like lipstick or lip gloss? Pink lips add more charm to the face. When your lips become dark and discoloure­d, there may be several factors involved. Some of these factors are allergic reactions, dehydratio­n and too much caffeine.

Here are some natural remedies to achieve pink lips. Consider these home remedies for healthier and rosier lips. Adopt them into your daily routine and before long you won’t even need to use that expensive lipstick you’ve always wanted to buy.

Lip balm: Apply a lip balm over both lips. Do it at night before bed. Try this great way to rid yourself of flaky and chapped lips. The longer you leave the balm on, the better. Leave it on overnight for best results. This will allow the balm to treat and hydrate your lips for several hours. This helps to both exfoliate them, as well as remove dead skin. Make sure to wipe off excess balm.

Lemon: Lemon juice is also another simple home remedy to make your lips naturally pink. All you have to do is to cut a thin slice of lemon and sprinkle some sugar on it, then rub the slice on your lips and quickly your lips will begin to lighten. Lemon is an excellent natural bleaching agent, while the sugar helps to exfoliate all the dead skin cells. It is easy and less expensive. Cucumber: Cucumber juice gives your lip the sweet pink colour you desire. Rubbing a slice of cucumber on your lips makes them pink. It is very easy and less stressful. It has no side effect; you will see the result in a couple of days.

Raspberry mixture: Using berry mixture is another natural way to get a pink lip. A paste using raspberrie­s, aloe vera and organic honey really helps to make your lips pink. Once you’ve applied this paste on your lips, just let it sit for about five minutes before you wash it off. Raspberrie­s work best because of how rich they are in vital vitamins and minerals which make your lips pink and soft too.

Turmeric powder and milk: Gives your lips a healthy shine of soft pink lips. This combinatio­n is good for overall skin health, and your lips are no exception. All you have to do is make a paste by mixing both ingredient­s and leave it on till it dries. Then wash it off and you will start seeing the difference.

The above lip care tips help in giving you the natural pink lip you desire. With additional informatio­n from the internet
