How To Lighten Dark Lips: Do It Yourself
By Chandni Harariya
Hello Everyone,
It’s such a long time that I wrote something for IMBB. Blame it on my busy schedule, but there’s not even a single day when I miss reading the posts on IMBB. It has become a small family of mine. Today, I am going to share my most favourite DIY with you all. Pink and glossy lips can change the whole personality of a person. I am using this scrub on my lips from the past one month and I am very much happy with the results. It has removed my pigmentation to an extent and has made my lips pink. I am sure if I continue using it for 2-3 months, my lips will start looking like the models in the Maybelline lip balm ads. So, without wasting any more time, I am quickly going to tell you the ingredients that are required to make this scrub and the procedure involved.
Ingredients Required:
- ‘Pinch of Turmeric (haldi).
- Few drops of lemon.
- Pinch of gram flour.
- Pinch of sugar (grind coarsely).
Procedure:
Step 1: Mix turmeric, gram flour, and sugar in a bowl and add a few drops of lemon to make a fine paste. Mix all the ingredients well.
Step 2: Apply this mixture on your lips and scrub your lips lightly for 1 minute.
Step 3: Leave the mixture on your lips for 3-4 minutes and the rinse with normal or lukewarm water.
Step 4: Apply any lip balm on your lips.
Benefits of the ingredients used:
1. Turmeric: Turmeric is a great exfoliating agent and it also helps to fight signs of ageing. It also helps in fading away scars and spots.
2. Lemon: Lemon is acidic in nature and helps in reducing dark spots, pigmentation and uneven skin tone.
3. Gram Flour: Besan is an excellent exfoliating ingredient that also lightens and brightens dull skin.
4. Sugar: Helps in exfoliating skin. It also has moisturising properties that prevent the skin from drying up. It also soothes chapped lips.
I am using this scrub from the past one month and I am happy with the results. I use this daily in the night after removing all my make-up and before applying my night cream.
Some points to remember:
1. Use only pinch of turmeric, otherwise your lips will look pale/yellowish after removing the scrub.
2. Do not keep this scrub on lips for more than 4-5 minutes. It has lemon in it, so keeping it on the lips for a longer time will make your lips dry.
3. If possible, try to use this scrub at night, because sometimes it leaves a yellowish cast on the lips.
It will take some to show the results, so have some patience, and don’t forget to share your experience with me.

nice post…but how often can we do it..??

Good one Chandni, but kasturi manjal doesn’t stain much, would try with that.
Thanks for this useful advice. Will definitely replace the regular turmeric with kasturi manjal. 🙂
great post, I will share with my friend as she have darker lips and she always poke me for ideas. I also want to share my tip for maintaining the pink lips(by default I have them so I need to maintain them), i.e. I use brown sugar(which I easily get on coffee dates from costa or barista) and vaseline or any balm, I exfoliate my lips with this mixture regularly once in a while and I get superb pink lips (reminded me of new Sunny Leone’s song) !!
Have fun !! 😛
Great tip Manisha. Me too use this sugar and vaselline scrub whenever I am in hurry. 🙂
Good recipe, Chandni! I have also heard that this exact same blend of ingredients can be used as a face pack-cum-scrub… is it also good for the face?
