- Exfoliate your lips at least twice a week. Dab a finger in water, then in sugar and exfoliate your lips by rubbing the sugar on them. Wipe the sugar off your lips and apply a lip balm.
- Apply lip balm in the night before sleeping and leave overnight. Wake up to soft pink lips. Avoid lip balms with dyes and artificial ingredients. Always opt for those with natural ingredients.
Try Burt’s Bees Chap stick.
- Drink lots of water and take juices with vitamin C as dehydration can also cause lack of luster on lips. Water or juices hydrate the body, nourishes the skin and aids new cell growth. Dry lips are also one of the signs that the body is not getting properly hydrated.
- Eat fruits and vegetables that are red in color. For example, tomatoes and strawberries, as they help deposit the color in the skin, making lips pink.
- Lips tend to darken due to exposure to the sun. Use a balm with SPF 15. Make sure to wear lip protection when going outdoors. Many lipsticks and lip glosses contain SPF 15.
