Do you have dark lips? No need to fret, there is a solution right at your fingertips.

Remember that the lips are one of the most delicate parts of the body. They are meant to be soft and beautiful and not overly dark, parched or chapped. Below are tips on how to get rid of dark lips with ingredients right in your kitchen:

1. Lemon Only

Squeeze out lemon juice and apply on lips after you have used a soft brush to massage them. Leave on lips over-night. Continue till you get the desired effect.

2. Lemon and Sugar

On a thin slice of lemon, sprinkle a dash of granulated sugar, scrub your lips. This method helps to get rid of dead skin cells and reveal new skin which may be all you need.

3. Sugar, Honey & Olive Oil

Mix sugar, with a bit of honey and a little potion of olive oil (do not let it overwhelm the rest of the ingredients). Mix this ingredients correctly and apply on clean lips and gently scrub in a circular motion.

4. Sugar & Shea Butter

Mix sugar and Shea butter together forming a paste. Dampen your lips and gently scrub in a circular motion. Use this mixture as much as possible.
