You can use sugar to make an effective scrub. Take some in your fingers,

add some water (if you like), and scrub your lips with it.

• Go for honey

Honey is not only tasty; it can also be used to get rid of dark lips

because it has the ability to draw moisture to the surface.

But that’s not even all, honey also has healing properties.

It helps repair wounds and promotes healing in sunburns.

So, if you have sun-damaged or chapped and split lips, honey can be helpful.

• Apply cucumber juice

You’ve probably seen beauticians use this on their face; it also

works on the lips. Chop/ blend cucumber to get the juice and

apply the juice all over lips daily. The difference will be

obvious after a few weeks of daily use.

• Scrub with olive oil

You may have known about olive oil benefits for your health, skin,

and hair, but did you know that it can also give you attractive

pink lips and moisturise them too? Prepare your own natural scrub

by mixing one-half teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of extra virgin

olive oil. Scrub your lips gently with this mixture once a week for best results.

• Use pink lips cream

If you really fancy pink lips and want to get rid of those not so

good-looking dark lips, you can invest in pink lips creams.

You know these creams have chemical content.

Hence be careful when applying it to your lips.
