Dark lips remedies

It probably goes without saying that if you know the reason, then its best to try to eliminate the reason that is causing the damage. And while trying to kick the butt, use some good old moisturizer to moisten the dark lips. There is nothing as effective as good old plain petroleum jelly or mineral oil that acts as a moisturizer and an effective emollient.


These are one of the most inexpensive and pure skin lubricants. When travelling applying a generous helping of sunscreen lotion or lip balm that has SFF properties to your lips to protect them from further harm. If you are prone to being in the sun for long periods of time, place sliced potato slices on your lips to remove the damage caused by the tan.

A teaspoon of fresh lemon juice can be applied to help lighten the color of the lips. Make a paste using fresh turmeric powder and lemon juice and apply this as a thick paste on your lips for around 20 minutes. This acts as an incredible bleach and will greatly help in bringing down the dark color of the lips. Also drink around 10 to 12 glasses of water everyday to flush out the toxins from your body.

Gently knead your lips with a combination of glycerin, lime juice and honey. Use equal measures of individual ingredients and apply this mix to your lips before going to bed. On alternate nights you can apply a thin coating of almond oil to your lips. Supplement your diet with plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to hydrate your body and cut down on caffeine intake.
