If want lovely bright & pink lips but your lips are rough and dark then you should have to do certain things and should have to abstain from certain things to get what you want.
If you are a smoker then the first thing will be quitting smoking because the chemicals in the cigarettes blacken your lips. Don’t expect that after one week you will get back your bright lips rather it is a log process.
Nourish your dry lips with homemade moisturizers which will brighten your lips for weeks. Just mix one tablespoon of coconut oil with 1 tablespoon honey. Apply it on your lips and let it be absorbed for 10 minutes and then wash the remaining oil.
Carry a natural balm with yourself and apply it on your lips when you feel it’s dry. Especially during very hot and cold weather.
