23 Tips to Lighten Dark Lips Naturally

Among all my family and relatives, I am the only one cursed with dark lips. πŸ™ lighter shades of lipstick do not show up on my lips. Some of you girls can feel my pain. My lips are so dark that quite a few people even told me that I should not smoke so much. I must mention, I don’t smoke. See? Now you can feel my pain. I can not help it because it is natural. Guess I was too lazy to even try. Thanks to my dear friend/ secret enemy who commented on my lips. That was a big motivator for me. The rest is history.


However, to my relief, I have succeeded somewhat to overcome my dark lips. My experiments are still in progress but let me share with you some of the tips that I thought of doing. Tips are taken from family friends and some from the internet.
