Do you feel ashamed for your dark, pigmented lips? Here are some quick fixes

We follow a proper skincare routine for the face but sometimes leave the most delicate area, our lips.

Lips need the utmost care, and there are many reasons why our lips can get pigmented and dark patches. If you are a smoker or a caffeine lover, you will get dark pigmented lips. Here are some quick and easy fixes to get rosy soft lips.

According to dermatologists, these are the things that will help you get rid of the dark-toned lips:

Lip balm with SPF 30
Apply vitamin E on lips
Exfoliate with a toothbrush twice a week
Cut down on caffeine
Use olive or almond oil to remove lipstick
Don't lick your lips
Do not use expired lipsticks
Quit smoking
There are clinical treatments such as chemical peels, micro-needling to lighten the lips.

Lemon juice
Rub 2-3 drops of freshly squeezed lemon juice on your lips and wash it off in the morning with lukewarm water. Continue this, and you will see the difference.

Pomegranate scrub
If you don't have any allergies to pomegranate, then make a paste of a tablespoon of pomegranate seeds with milk and apply it to your lips. Rinse it off after 2-3 minutes. Pomegranates help to rejuvenate the original colour of your lips.

Potato juice
Rub freshly sliced potato onto your lips before bedtime and wash it off in the morning. Potato juice helps to lighten the pigmentations.
