Use Lip scrub

• Using lip scrubs gently and in circular motion not only helps you get rid of the dead skin on

• your lips but it definitely help in removing tan along with increasing blood circulation. Lip scrubs are best to make your skin smooth and healthy. Lip Scrubbing does not have to be vigorous, it is always gentle and with fine granular scrubs. It is easy to prepare Lip Scrub at home – Some great homemade lip scrubs are:

• Brown sugar with a little olive oil and honey, mix it well -this will be wonderful if you mix it and then circulate gently over the lip skin, this will remove dead skin and moisturize too.
• If you have a coarse wash cloth at home, just keep a clean piece for your lips. Moist them with Luke warm water and then slowly and softly keep wiping with this cloth twice or three times, you will see the dead skin coming out and feel the soft new skin underneath, apply a smooth lip balm, olive oil or simple Vaseline jelly that will protect and moisturize too.

Use Lip Balms

• Lip balms that are soothing and rich with some vitamin E benefits which we all know is really good for our skin. There are a variety of lip balms that can be used and help you keep your lips moisturized, soft and supple.

• Using Vaseline gel is what I would suggest is the -best. The best and most natural, effective way to keep you lips moist and baby soft.

• If you do not like Vaseline gel, the oily and greasy part then go for Olive oil. It is too good, you don’t mind licking it too.

• Soft butter and Milk cream can also act as an option. You just have to be careful and use it at night only as they have a particular smell that may be embarrassing for some. These all work well and lock the moisture inside the skin making the outer layer smooth and supple glowing with pink and healthy sheen.

• Glycerine – Viscous Sweet liquid is a super duper hit, coming to Lip care. This will not only give you immediate softness but will also remove dry and dead skin cells silently.

Lip Care for Dark Lips –

Dark Lips make you look dull and always stressed somehow. If you have dark lips and a pale skin you look as if you are just out of a hospital. I am not saying dark lips always are bad, well girls it is not that -we all know , we use Dark chocolate lipsticks to make our mouth stand out. Dark lips look defined but they come with the biggest drawback,

you just cannot add color to your lips- Lipsticks merge with the darker lip skin and you get some odd different shade which you may not like or opt for.

I personally like dark lip skin, well I do not need to add any color it is natural – just one swipe of gloss makes my lips rich and shinier because of the dark skin color. This is my personal preference but I know people and sometimes I also get mad at the Lip skin being dark as my pinks always get purple after touching my lips.

Dark Lip Causes-

Generally dark lips  are dark skin color , if you are not born with fairer skin you tend to have darker lips , which is totally natural and we call it genetics folks!!But sometimes there can be other causes like:

• Too much smoking

• Caffeine addiction

• Sun burn or dehydration

• Using cheap makeup

• Sleeping with lipstick colors on and not cleaning your lips thoroughly

• Sometimes some allergies or infections can also result in Lip darkening.

The above identified causes mostly are temporary, if you stop that particular habit that causes it, you will sooner or later get your lip color back! Read about the habits that result in darker lips

Effective Home Remedies for Dark Lips –

Dark lips can be easily treated with home remedies by some simple and effective methods that are neither costly nor time taking. You just need to follow them religiously to get desired results.

• Lemon – Using Lemon juice every night before sleep will help lighten the color of your lips, the bleaching quality of lemon will help you reduce the darkness and using this remedy for months will get you desired results.

Easy to apply, oil based and less greasy if it is a day lip balm and you can opt for the heavy greasy ones for night for more hydration.

• Varieties– You have them in tubes, pots-in the form of creamy or opaque solution or gel based transparent or colorful forms to add that extra color or sheen.

• Homemade Lip Balms– Best homemade balms would be vaseline balm with a little of water to make it more absorbable. You can even rely on olive, coconut oils as well as milk cream which is light and more effective for daily use.

Best Lip Gloss /colors that are good-

Lip Glosses – they are the liquid forms of any lip protector – they are paraffin based mostly and add a lot of shine and gleam.

Your choice of lip products determines the health of your lips –How is this going to affect my Lip skin, this is what you need to ask every time you buy anything new to try out. Lip glosses and lip colors make you lips gleam and shine – they add instant life to your beautiful lips, but you need to be careful with the brand you choose and also the color.
