Mumbai: Here are a few simple home remedies that will keep your lips in the pink of health:
Beery-ed effect
Mix one-half tbsp of raspberry juice with a little aloe vera gel and honey. Apply the paste on your lips and scrub gently. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Do this three or four times a week. You can also mix one tbsp of strawberry juice with two tbsp of petroleum jelly and use as as lip balm.
Beetroot
Beetroot has natural bleaching properties that can lighten dark lips. Apply fresh beetroot juice on your lips before going to bed. Wash it off the next morning. The natural red color of the juice will turn your dark lips rosy. Do this daily before going to bed. You can mix equal amounts of beetroot juice and carrot juice and apply it on your lips.
Cucumber
Cucumber works as a skin-lightening agent that will help lighten your lips, as well as your skin. Simply rub a slice of cucumber against your lips gently so that your lips absorb the juice. Do this for five minutes each day.
