Lips are one of the most appealing features on a person’s face. When it is healthy, radiant and pink , one tends to look younger and more beautiful. Dry, discoloured, dark and dull lips can add years to your appearance.
When it comes to skincare, our lips are the most neglected part of our face. We only tend to fidget with our lips once we notice that they are turning dark and are getting chapped. Do you want to get rid of your dark pigmented lips and get back the naturally soft pink lips? If yes, first of all find out why they are dry and flaky.

Exfoliate with a toothbrush.
One of the best ways to get naturally pink lips is to regularly exfoliate with a toothbrush.
All you need to do is dampen a soft-bristled toothbrush and gently rub your lips using small circular motions.
This sloughs off dead skin and stimulates blood flow to the lips, making them soft and pink.
Use a lip balm afterwards.
Lemon
Take a teaspoon of raw honey and add in a few drops of lemon juice.
Apply a thick layer of this mixture on the lips.
Leave on for 20 minutes and just wipe off the excess or dab it .
You can do this every night. This will not only lighten your lips but also soften and give them a pink glow.
Use a lip balm afterwards.
Sugar Scrub
In a bowl, add a pinch of sugar to some coconut oil.
