3. Milk and Turmeric Exfoliator

4. Sugar and Coconut Oil Scrub

While we take care to exfoliate our faces regularly, we may leave out our lips because we are told that the layer of skin covering our lips is too delicate and can be damaged easily. But exfoliation is as essential to your lips as it is to your face and body.

Use the scrub once or twice a week.

How It Works

Sugar retains moisture and works as an exfoliant while the oil moisturises and hydrates the lips.

5. Pomegranate Seeds Mask
Pomegranate is a fruit that is rich in antioxidants and works miracles as an anti-ageing remedy. But these seeds are not just yummy to eat or make juice out of, but can also be turned into excellent exfoliators.

If you loved chocolate before, you only have another reason now!

Rose petals-5 or 6
Milk- ½ cup

Wash it off with cold water.
How Often to Use

If you fancy really rosy lips, you could do this every day. Done at night, the results will be even better because any remedy works like magic when the body is in resting mode.

How It Works

Natural oils and sugars are the secrets that rose petals hold. These help to lock in the moisture and work in an anti-inflammatory way while the milk moisturises the skin. Rose petals are known to revitalise the skin and bring back a glow to it. Rose has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties that make it an ideal ingredient for the treatment of cuts, abrasions, dryness, and burns.

10. Coriander Lip Mask
Coriander isn't just a garnish that you use in your dishes. It is a powerful medicinal plant that has curative properties. It could be your answer to one of the best home remedies for pink lips in 15 days.

Corainder Lip Mask

A handful of coriander leaves

Crush the leaves into a thick paste.
Apply the paste on to your lips.
Let it sit for 20 minutes.

How Often to Use

Use it every day for a few weeks.

How It Works

Coriander leaves are rich in beta-carotene, lutein, beta-cryptoxanthin, and zeaxanthin. They are known for their antifungal and antioxidant properties. These leaves are also widely known for their ability to flush out toxins. The power of this mask can help restore the colour and quality of your lips if used with dedication.

Essential Tips to Consider
There are a few more things that you can do to bring the rosy colour back and keep it forever:

Eat tomato, melons, and cucumber to maintain hydration levels.
Saliva dries out the lips further. So do not lick chocolate lip masks or honey and sugar scrubs off your lips.
Commercial lip balms have many chemicals and preservatives. It takes only a little effort to make your lip balm at home.
If you are a smoker, know that no remedy will be lasting until you kick the habit.
Remove your makeup before going to bed.
Wear sunscreen if you spend the day under the sun.
Exfoliate even your lips, and use a mask too.
Strangely, it is also said that applying a couple of drops of mustard oil around your belly button can help you have softer lips. It might be tied to the fact that the oil cools the body temperature in some way, enabling relaxation. It may sound outlandish, but it seems to have worked for our grandmothers and may be worth a try!

So if you have dark, chapped, and flaky lips, the remedies we have mentioned can well be your chance to get back the sheen and colour of your lips. Bringing back the colour should be the least of your worries, thanks to the comprehensive list that we have put together for you. Keeping your lips in the pink of health is what you need to work on. It takes determination and consistency to try a treatment and stick to it until you see results. You needn't try them all. Pick the ones that are easy for you and make sure that you continue to use them even after you have regained the colour and suppleness of your lips.

Thank you so much for all these masks that are so much helpful. I struggle with many problems with my skin all over my body because it looks very bad and old. Some time ago, I decided to change it and started doing lots of masks and other routines to make my body fit and young again. I quit smoking, and, girls, it helped so much that my skin color changed to a pale one, and it looks much healthier now. My next step is a mommy makeover at gartnerplasticsurgery.com. Hope they accept my request for a consultation as soon as possible, and I'll be able to get my perfect body in a month. When I saw those "after" pictures, I fell in love with how gentle and efficient they do the work and how good the girls look after the operation.
