New Delhi: Rosy lips add extra charm to a person’s face. However, pollution, exposure to harmful sun rays, and using poor quality cosmetics, all contribute to pigmentation of lips and take away the pinkness and suppleness of lips.
1) Ice cube massage
Keeping yourself hydrated is the best solution to fix various dental illnesses as well as bodily disorders. It works well for lip discolouration also.
Besides drinking plenty of water, massaging your lips with ice also helps in lightening the dark spots on lip surfaces. All you want to do is, wrap an ice cube in a clean cloth and massage your lips with it. You will witness the difference soon.
It is because the ice supports in plumping up the skin cells so that the lips get rid of discolouration to a certain extent and appear healthy.
2) Honey Scrub
This is a wonderful remedy if gum discolouration occurs due to the accumulation of dead skin cells. This approach involves exfoliating the lips to remove the dead skin cells to lighten the lip skin.
How to do it:
Mix t tsp of honey and 1 tsp of sugar. Apply this mixture over the lips and leave it for a few minutes. Wash it with a cup of warm water.
It is recommended to exfoliate the lips once per week. If you do this often, it will damage the lip’s skin and cause irritations.
3) Turmeric Paste
Turmeric is abundant in antioxidant curcumin which is well-known for skin-lightening properties. As it is effective to lighten melanin pigmentation, we recommend this as a remedy for lip depigmentation.
How to do it:
Take 1 or 2 teaspoons of turmeric powder in a bowl. Add a little amount of water or milk and mix it to form a paste. Rub your lips with the paste and leave it for 5 to 10 minutes. Rinse your mouth with cold water.
4) Lemon
The citric acid in lemon helps in exfoliating dead skin cells.
Squeeze a fresh lemon to extract its juice and rub your lips with a few drops of lemon juice before going to sleep. Once you get up in the morning, rinse it with a cup of cold water.
Alternatively, dip the lemon wedge in sugar and rub your lips gently with it for exfoliation.
5) Almond Oil Lip Massage
Almond oil is a great source of Vitamin E which is also powerful in lightening the melanin pigment. Hence dentists recommend almond oil massage to remove discolouration on lips.
If you add a few drops of lemon juice to almond oil, it enhances the depigmentation effects.
All you need to do is, add a few drops of lemon juice to a cup of almond oil and rub it over the lips. Leave it for 3 to 5 minutes.
If you do this once per day, the oil moistens the lips’ skin and boosts blood circulation. The improved blood circulation in lips makes the lips appear in a natural colour.
