1. Use A Sugar Scrub
Scrub the lip skin with a mixture of one teaspoon each of almond oil and honey and two teaspoons of sugar. Scrub gently as the skin on your lips is quite sensitive. The almond oil and honey will give your lips moisture even as the sugar removes the dead skin. Regular usage of this scrub can give you pink lips permanently.
2. Use Beetroot
Grate a small, peeled beetroot and extract its juice. Dab it on your lips using your fingertips and leave it on for 15 minutes. Wash it off later. You can repeat this twice a week to see quicker results. The natural burgundy pigment in beetroot helps in making your lips softer and pink.

3. Use Aloe Vera And Honey
Take one tablespoon of freshly extracted aloe vera gel from a plant and mix it with honey. Apply it on your lips. Leave it for 15 minutes and wash it with water to see instant results. Both aloe Vera and honey add hydration to your lips, thus making it soft and pink.
4. Exfoliate Regularly
All you need to do is wet a napkin or a toothbrush and gently rub your lips with it in gentle movements. This removes dead skin and the dry outer layer of the lips, while also improving blood circulation. At night, always apply coconut oil or a natural lip balm for soft pink lips.
5. Use Sunscreen
A study [1] found that 37% of people who use sunscreen the right way also use it to protect their lips. Opt for a lip balm that has SPF 15 or more. It needs to be applied daily and refreshed frequently. This prevents damage from the sun’s rays.
Wrapping Up
It is possible to have pink lips permanently with a few corrective measures. All you have to do is use the right moisturizing DIYs, eat antioxidant rich foods and avoid chemical-based lip balms and lipsticks as far as possible. So, all ready for pink lips?
