It’s said that the prettiest thing you can wear is your smile. Your smile is not all about your shiny white teeth, it’s about your lips as well! We all wish to have soft, pink and luscious lips but somehow it seems like a distant dream. Your lips are more sensitive than you think. Chapped, dry, pigmented lips speak volumes about your health.
Your lips deserve some extra care and attention in order to keep them hydrated and restore their natural softness and smoothness. We have a list of a few simple home remedies for naturally pink and soft lips.
How To Get Soft Pink Lips Naturally?
Here are some simple DIY remedies for naturally soft and pink lips that you can do in the comfort of your home. Do them religiously, and in time, you will achieve what you desire!
1. Lip Balm And Wash Cloth/ Tooth Brush Combo
This is one of the most basic and effective ways to get rid of dry, flaky and chapped lips. I swear it works wonderfully, every time! If you leave the lip balm on your lips, overnight, it’s even better.
What You Need
- A good quality lip balm of thick consistency
- A soft tooth brush or wash cloth
Step by Step Process
- Start by applying a thick layer of lip balm all over your lips. The best time to do this is at night before you go to bed. It acts as a much-needed intensive night treatment.
- Once you wake up and the lip balm seems to have been absorbed by your lips, use a damp tooth brush to gently massage and exfoliate your lips to remove dead skin.
- You can also use a damp wash cloth instead of a tooth brush.
- Wipe off any excess balm to reveal fresh, moisturized lips.
How Often Do You Need To Do This?
Just like moisturizer for your skin, a lip balm is essential, and you can use the wash cloth method every morning. Applying a thick layer of lip balm at bedtime only has its benefits! You will wake up to soft, smooth lips. The Body Shop Vitamin E Lip Balm is a great option as it contains some amazing ingredients.
How It Works?
Regular exfoliation in its gentlest form that is by using lip balm helps in efficiently removing the dead and flaky skin on the surface. It helps to store and replenish moisture and heals cracks as well. It’s a win-win!
2. Pomegranate Seeds Mask
Pomegranate as a fruit in itself has extensive health benefits. I’d suggest you make some juice and drink it down. But if you ask me what to you do with the left over seeds, here’s my tip. Use them to make your own fruity exfoliator! It does wonders for lightening dark lips and giving them a rosy touch.
What You Need
- Crushed pomegranate seeds
- Cold milk cream
Step by Step Process
- Slice open a pomegranate, get the seeds out and crush them up.
- Mix the crushed seeds with cream to form a good old paste.
- On clean lips, apply this paste and leave it on for ten minutes.
- Wash off with warm water.
How Often Do You Need To Do This?
This mask could be used 2-3 times a week as it will gradually help with any kind of discoloration and pigmentation.
How It Works?
Pomegranate contains a compound named ‘punicalagins’ that inhibits melanin production and prevents your lips from getting darker.
