The skin on your lips is the thinnest and most sensitive compared to the rest of your body. And they are the first to get affected due to the harsh weather, and other environmental and lifestyle conditions. This is something that you might already know! But are you doing enough to take care of the sensitive skin on your lips? If your answer is no, it’s time you indulge in lip care at home to treat your dry, chapped and pigmented lips.

How To Take Care of Your Lips Naturally At Home

It's every individual's dream to have beautiful pink lips that they can flaunt without putting any makeup on. If you wish to turn that dream into reality, you need to turn to home remedies for lip care. These home remedies include natural ingredients that will assure fuller, plumper and healthier lips. So without further ado, let's look at how to take care of your lips naturally.

Lip Scrubs: 

The main job of a lip scrub is to exfoliate your lips and get rid of dead skin cells. This in turn makes the skin on your lips soft and smooth. Here are some DIY lip scrubs that you can use in the comfort of your home:

Lemon and Sugar:

This is one of the easiest home remedies for lip care that you can use on lips that aren't chapped.

Method: Take a lemon slice, and sprinkle some sugar on it. Rub it on your lips for about 2-3 minutes and then either wipe it with a soft cloth or wash it off.  You can repeat this remedy once every three days. Lemon helps brighten the lips and sugar gently exfoliates dead skin cells off your lips.

Honey and Sugar:

One of the main reasons for dark lips is the accumulation of dead skin cells. Here’s a DIY recipe that you can try to work on this problem. 

Method: Take a spoonful of sugar and mix it with a spoonful of honey. Lightly massage this natural lip scrub on your lips for two to three minutes and then wash it off with water. You can use this scrub twice a week to see better results. Sugar is loaded with antioxidants that prevent your lips from sun damage. Honey, on the other hand, lightens the colour of your lips and provides moisture.

Cinnamon Powder, Honey and Olive Oil:

This is one of the best natural lip care tips that will give you plumper puckers.

Method: Mix half a teaspoon each of ground cinnamon powder, raw honey and olive oil. Apply this lip scrub gently on your lips using your fingertips. Wash it off in about five minutes with lukewarm water and follow it up with a lip balm. Cinnamon is a natural lip plumper while honey and olive oil help with hydration.

Once you apply a lip scrub, you need something to hydrate and moisturise your lips. Enter lip balm! One of the best tips for lip care at home is to invest in a good lip balm. Talking about good, you can try your hands on the Pure Sense Macadamia Nourishing Lip Balm. Made with natural ingredients, this chemical-free and cruelty-free lip balm contains macadamia nut oil that assists in the cell regeneration of chapped lips. It also contains beeswax that soothes and moisturises your lips and castor oil that removes discolouration. Overall, this nourishing lip balm is sure to give your lips a fresh look.

Lip Masks: 

In case you don't know what lips masks are, they're basically treatments that involve applying a substance to your lips. It is then left for a set amount of time and then washed off. They prevent drying out and chapping of your lips. Once you use a lip mask, your lips will look plumper without using any lip liner. They also reduce signs of ageing by tightening the skin on your lips. Here are some lip masks that you include in your ‘lip care at home’ session to achieve that perfect pout. And you can easily make them at home.

Berry Lip Mask:

Mash some strawberries in a bowl and add three to four drops of vitamin E oil to make a good mixture. Add a teaspoon of ground coffee and mix it all well before you apply it to your lips. Leave this mask on for about five to ten minutes and then wash it off with regular water.

Vitamin C from strawberries combined with vitamin E helps with cell regeneration which results in brighter and fresher lips naturally.

Aloe Vera Lip Mask:

Slice an aloe vera to scrape off all the gel from the inside. Add a sprinkle of sugar and some petroleum jelly to the fresh aloe vera gel and dab it on your lips. Let this lip mask sit on your lips for about 15 minutes before you remove it with warm water.

Aloe vera contains starch with molecules that moisturise the skin on your mouth and stimulate cell production. This is one of those natural lip care tips that you will absolutely fall in love with after looking at the results. 

Honey and Pomegranate Lip Mask:

Mix a spoonful of honey with two tablespoons of pomegranate juice. Apply this lip mask to your lips and leave it on for 10-15 minutes. Then, gently wipe it off with a damp washcloth and you'll notice a smoother surface on your lips with a sheer tint.

Pomegranate juice is loaded with antioxidants and provides a natural rosy colour that sets on your lips. Honey helps with nourishing your lips.

Basic Tips to Follow for Lip Care at Home

Stay Hydrated: 

Drinking enough water will not only help your organs stay healthy but will also keep the skin on your lips hydrated. But just drinking water is not enough. You need to invest in a lip balm that contains natural ingredients that can protect your lips from dryness. 

Always Wear a Lip Balm: 

As mentioned in the above point, a lip balm is the most important product to keep your lips moisturised. We suggest you a product that will not only help nourish your lips but also protect them from UV damage, and that is the Pure Sense Grapefruit UV Protection Lip Balm. This lip balm will serve as a zesty treat for your lips and will provide them with intense moisture. It is a unique blend of grapefruit extracts that exfoliates dead skin cells and brightens the colour of your lips. Karanja oil, beeswax and castor oil are the other natural ingredients that soothe and heal chapped lips, retain moisture and remove skin discolouration for rosy lips.

Lip Massage: 

If you're still wondering how to take care of your lips naturally at home, let us tell you that massaging your lips is one of the natural lip care tips that you can try. Massaging your lips can boost blood circulation, thus resulting in rosy lips. Make sure you wash your face and clean your lips off all the impurities before you start massaging your lips. Be very gentle with your lip massage and limit it to just once every day. Use your fingertips and massage just the outer corners of your lips.

These remedies along with Pure Sense products will make your lip care at home a rejuvenating and soothing experience that will not only give your healthier lips but also help you achieve that perfect pout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. How can I hydrate my lips overnight?

You can use emollient and occlusive ointments on your lips before bedtime. They help prevent and treat chapped lips. If you wish to use one of the home remedies for lip care, you can mix a teaspoon of olive oil and honey together and apply it to your lips overnight. Honey has antibacterial and wound-healing properties while olive oil helps with moisturisation. You'll wake up to soft and smooth lips in the morning every time you use this DIY lip care at home.

2. What is the best treatment for sore lips?

You can use a non-irritating lip balm or a lip moisturiser several times a day and also before bedtime. If you are someone with extremely dry and cracked lips, you can switch to a thicker ointment like white petroleum jelly. Ointments like these have the ability to seal in the water longer than waxes or oils. You can also use a lip balm with SPF 30 or higher before you step out of the home. One such product is already mentioned above the Pure Sense Grapefruit UV Protection Lip Balm.

3. Does coconut oil make lips pink?

Yes, it does. Coconut oil has moisturising and emollient properties and so it serves as natural lip care. They aid in keeping your lips soft and supple while also preventing them from getting dry and darker. One of the main reasons for darker lips is skin dehydration. So when you use coconut oil on your lips regularly, it hydrates your lips and reduces darkness, eventually resulting in pink lips.
