Because the skin of your lips contains a small amount of sebum (an oil), you must keep your lips moisturized if you want them to stay healthy and therefore pink. If you are going outside, try applying a bit of petroleum jelly or lip balm and if you are inside, use some coco butter. If you want your lips to be soft and pink, you must keep them moisturized.

2. Use Pomegranate Seeds and Milk

Rose petals are another one of the great home remedies for pink lips. Simply soak some rose petals in milk for a little bit of time. Then use the petals to make a paste, adding a few drops of both glycerin and honey. Dab the paste on your lips and wait fifteen minutes before gently rubbing it off using milk. This remedy can produce amazing results.

5. Massage with Lemon Juice

Another remedy only requires lemon and some sugar. Cut a thin slice from the lemon, sprinkling a bit of sugar on top and rub your lips with this combination each day. This works well because lemon works to naturally bleach your lips, returning them to their light, pink color while sugar works to exfoliate dead skin cells.

6. Apply Berry Mixture

Berries such as raspberries and strawberries have many benefits that are great for solving the problem related to dark lips. All you need to do is make a paste using raspberries and mix it with some aloe vera juice and pure honey. After applying this homemade paste, leave it on for five minutes before rinsing it off and replacing it with a lip balm that is homemade. This is effective because raspberries have many vital vitamins and minerals that can keep your lips healthy and therefore vibrant.

7. Mix Turmeric Powder with Milk

Another great way to lighten dark lips comes from India. There they mix raw turmeric powder and milk cream to achieve great results. You can also try mixing turmeric powder and gram’s flour to light your lips. Just keep in mind that gram’s flour dries out lips making it a poor option for those whose lips are already dry. If you do use this mix, be sure to use a heavy double cream designed to moisturize your lips after you remove the mix.

8. Mix Honey, Almond Oil and Sugar

One of the most common reasons people have dull lips is because they don’t take off their makeup. That is why you should always remove it before bed. Simply put a bit of olive oil or almond oil on a cotton ball and rub your lips with it gently.

  • Quit Smoking. Smoking can be one of the main reasons your lips might be dark and dull. Because of that, one of the best home remedies for pink lips is to find a way to quit smoking.

  • Stay Hydrated. If you want beautiful, pink lips, one of the most important things to do is to stay hydrated. Try to increase your intake of water and drink fresh fruit juices as these will work together to keep you hydrated, giving you healthy, soft lips.
  • Don’t Lick Your Lips. It is very common that if your lips feel dry, you lick them but in reality, this will make it worse. It can actually cause your lips to become more dull and dry.
  • Use Sunscreen. If you are going out in the sun, always opt for a sunscreen that has a lip gloss on top. This will prevent your lips from darkening due to exposure to the sun’s harmful rays.
