Pamper And Moisturize Your Lips:
Moisturizing is to your lips, what oxygen it to your lungs. We're attempting to tell you that without sufficient moisturizing, even the most well-endowed lips will shrivel and darken with time. So keep a good lip balm or a tube of petroleum jelly handy with you at all times during the day.

Gently massage and leave this intensively moisturizing balm on your lips overnight. The wondrous effects of giving this royal treatment to your lips will be evident in just a month!

A great way to reduce any darkness on your lips is to apply a bit of cucumber juice. Simply slice a cucumber, rubbing it against your lips to allow the juices to soak on. If you do this for five minutes each day, you can lighten dark lips to a beautiful pink color.
Brace Your Lips Against Harmful Radiation:
For all those who go out in the sun very frequently, your lip balm needs to have a minimum of SPF 20. Also, the effervescent glow of your lips can be largely attributed to how well-hydrated they are. So drinking plenty of water is another important parameter that is required to attain the perfect pair of pink lips.
