How to Bring Out the Natural Color of Your Lips
If lipstick or gloss is not really something you like, here are some tips on how to bring out the natural color of your lips. The concept of lip coloring is not something new to modern times as even women in biblical times colored their lips. Â Luckily, you can use lip cosmetics to achieve the look of soft, pink lips.
First: Exfoliate your lips
Take a moment when you brush your teeth to exfoliate your lips. Use your tooth brush and with small circular motions, remove any dry skin flakes. Add a teaspoon of olive oil and a teaspoon of salt to your toothbrush to maximize your scrub, especially whenever you have dry lips.
Second: Keep your lips moisturized
Use lip balm or chapstick before going outside when weather conditions are windy, cold or there is excessive sun. Drinking 80 ounces of water daily also keeps your lips moisturized.
Third: Try not to lick or bite your lips
Everyone does it from time to time, but licking your lips makes them appear dry and deadens their color. It might seem that licking your lips help to moisturize them, but it actually only makes things worse. Saliva removes the natural oils from your lips.
Fourth: Use natural products to enhance your lip's color
Use a layer of beetroot juice at bedtime to get a nice pink color. Keep in mind this concoction does stain, so wash your hands after applying. Almond paste is another natural substance that brings out the naturaly color in your lips.
