02/6Rub lemon and sugar

You can simply rub lemon peel which acts like a melanin inhibitor before going to bed, and can then rinse it with cool water the next morning. If you repeat this for the next 30 days, you will see the changes for yourself. Another way is to add sugar with lemon which would help as an exfoliator as well and thus can rinse with warm water instead the next morning. You can also try lemon juice, honey, and glycerine, and apply it on your lips before going to bed.

03/6Turmeric and milk paste

Turmeric is also a great melanin inhibitor. Therefore, use a small bowl and mix 1 tablespoon of milk and turmeric powder and form a paste. Then gently apply it on your lips and gently rinse it with cool water after 5 minutes. Quickly apply a moisturizing lip balm and do this for the coming 2 weeks to see the result. But remember, only use the natural turmeric powder instead of the stored one which has chemicals and might cause reactions.

04/6Homemade honey scrub

A great exfoliator, honey scrub would remove the dead skin cells present on the top layer of your skin and would present it with plumpy and pink skin by using honey and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Simply blend the two and rub the mixture using small circular motions, and then rinse it off with warm water. Exfoliating might cause sensitivity and irritation, as the skin on our lips is too delicate, do not exfoliate more than once a week.

05/6Massage almond oil

Massaging almond oil into the lips can thus moisturize them and boost the circulation power as well. As the blood vessels in the lips would generate colour, massaging them can boost this process. However, use a good quality almond oil which would not cause any side effects. You will see the change within a week.
