The skin
care culture has always been one that many people let go of or follow loosely
and regret as soon as the consequences hit home. Taking care of one’s body
should be top of our list; it is after-all a priority. One of the parts of our
body that need attention is our lips.
I have a
friend name Joy, a.k.a Yoxie marion or Amaria. She has dark lips. I bet she has
been asked by the fearless -''Do you smoke?'' This can be quite
embarrassing because she does not.
Point
is............... our lips are supposed to be soft and beautiful not overly
dark and parched; if your lips is exactly like the former then you must be
doing everything wrong either due to whatever habit you’ve picked up or general
lack of care (I do need to add at this point that some people have natural dark
lips).
For women,
dark lips equals “not sensual at all” and it also means that some applicators
(lipstick, gloss etc) would not look as good as they ought to. Therefore, you actually have to look for
methods to make your lips blend in correctly and this can be a stressful feat.
Now, whether
your dark-lips are caused by habits or laziness (from lack of care) you can
rejuvenate them by using Lemon and/or Sugar.
Squeeze out
lemon juice and apply on lips after you have used a soft brush to massage them.
Leave on lips over-night. Continue until you get the desired effect.
Method Two: Lemon and Sugar
On a thin
slice of lemon, sprinkle a dash of granulated sugar, scrub your lips. This
method helps to get rid of dead skin cells and reveal new skin which may
be all you need.
Method Three: Sugar, Honey & Olive Oil
Mix sugar,
with a bit of honey and a little potion of olive oil (do not let it overwhelm
the rest of the ingredients). Mix these ingredients correctly, apply on clean
lips, and gently scrub in a circular motion.
Method Four: Sugar & Shea Butter
Mix sugar
and Shea butter together forming a paste. Damping your lips and gently scrub in
a circular motion. Use this mixture as much as possible.
I hope you
find this really helpful, let us know your experience with any of the methods
you eventually use in the comment section below.
