Sometimes, till now healthy, pink lips can turn black and lose shine and lustre over a period of time. This may be in spite of a healthy diet, regular exercise and applying lip balms. Here are a few home remedies that may help correct the problem.
Lips, like the skin, need regular exfoliating. To remove dead cells, use a natural lip scrub. Mix together a few drops of olive oil and a teaspoon of sugar. Rub your lips gently with this mixture. Rinse well and apply your regular lip balm to moisturise.
Lemon is a wonder ingredient that is used to treat dark patches on the skin. It also smoothens out dark spots because of the bleaching properties in the acid found in the fruit. Apply a few drops the juice of a lemon on your lips before going to bed. Repeat every night for a few months. Remember to apply the lip scrub once a week to remove the dead cells.

Massage gently for 10 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. Try out this every day for a couple of weeks.
