Has blackness accumulated around the lips? Get a rosy glow with these 4 effective home remedies: – ..

News India Live, Digital Desk: Lips play an important role in facial beauty, but often due to sunlight, dehydration or use of wrong cosmetics, the skin around the lips starts darkening. This is called ‘Perioral Hyperpigmentation’. If you are also troubled by these dark circles and do not want to spend money on expensive treatments, then these 4 natural things present in the kitchen can be useful for you.

1. Magic of Lemon & Honey

Lemon is a natural bleaching agent that lightens the skin tone, while honey keeps the skin moisturized.

How to use: Mix one teaspoon honey in half teaspoon lemon juice. Apply it around the lips and leave it for 10-15 minutes and then wash it with lukewarm water. By doing this 3 times a week, the difference will be clearly visible.

2. Potato Juice

Potato contains an enzyme called ‘Catecholase’ which is a panacea in reducing dark spots and pigmentation.

How to use: Grate a potato and extract its juice. Apply it on the affected area with the help of cotton ball. Wash with cold water after 20 minutes. It is safe even for sensitive skin.

3. Gram Flour & Turmeric Scrub

A mixture of gram flour and turmeric is the oldest and most trusted remedy to remove dead skin.

How to use: Make a paste by mixing a pinch of turmeric and a little raw milk in one spoon gram flour. Apply it around the lips and scrub with light hands and wash after it dries. The anti-bacterial properties of turmeric keep the skin healthy.

4. Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera contains ‘aloin’ which helps in reducing melanin levels.

How to use: Apply fresh aloe vera gel around the lips before sleeping at night. Leave it overnight and wash it in the morning. This will not only remove darkness but will also keep the skin hydrated.

Some important precautions to prevent blackness

Use of sunscreen: Before leaving the house, apply sunscreen on your face as well as around your lips.

Adequate intake of water: Due to lack of water in the body, lips start turning black, so drink at least 8-10 glasses of water a day.

Chemical Free Products: Avoid using lip balms or creams with excessive fragrance or chemicals.
