Thereβs no doubtβnaturally rosy lips are an appealing feature of a womanβs beauty or a manβs good looks. So, many people who have dark lips want to lighten them.
Some of the main causes of dark lips are excessive exposure to direct sunlight, an allergic reaction, use of low-quality cosmetics, chewing tobacco, excessive smoking, high caffeine intake, and hormonal imbalances.
There are many ways to lighten dark lips that donβt require buying expensive products or treatments. Natural home remedies can effectively lighten your lips. The time it takes for these remedies to work varies, so use them as long as needed to achieve the results you want.
Here are the top 10 home remedies for dark lips.
Contents
1. Lemon
Lemon is often used to treat dark skin patches and spots, and you can use it to naturally lighten dark lips, too. The bleaching property in lemon works well as a simple yet powerful remedy for dark lips.
- Squeeze a lemon and apply the juice on your lips before going to bed. Follow this simple remedy daily for one to two months.
- Take a thin slice of lemon, sprinkle a bit of sugar on top and rub it on your lips. It will exfoliate dead cells so new, fresh skin can appear. Use this remedy daily for a few weeks.
- Alternatively, you can prepare a mixture of one-half teaspoon each of lemon juice, glycerin and honey. Apply it on your lips before going to bed. Do this daily until you see positive results.
2. Rose
Rose has three main medicinal properties: soothing, cooling, and moisturizing. Rose will also help add a natural pink tint to your dark lips.
- Mix one drop of rose water with a few drops of honey and apply it on your lips. Do this three or four times a day.
- Mix one tablespoon of rose petal paste and one teaspoon of butter,Β honey, or milk cream. Apply it on your lips and gently scrub. Follow this remedy two times a week.
- Soak a few rose petals in raw milk for one hour, and then grind the mixture to make a paste. Add one-half teaspoon of honey and a pinch of saffron to it. Apply the paste on your lips and leave it on for about 15 minutes. Do this two times a day.
3. Olive Oil
Olive oil can also be used to make your lips lively and vibrant. Olive oil contains many essential nutrients to nurture your lips and its moisturizing property will make them soft and beautiful.
- Apply a few drops of extra virgin olive oil on your lips and massage it gently. Do this daily before going to bed.
- Alternatively, mix one-half teaspoon of sugar and a few drops of extra virgin olive oil. Scrub your lips gently with this mixture once a week. This simple recipe will restore your natural lip color and shine within a month or two.
4. Sugar
Exfoliating your lips regularly will remove dead skin cells that can make them look dark and dull. Sugar works as a great exfoliating agent.
- Blend three tablespoons of granulated sugar and two tablespoons of butter to make a thick paste. Scrub your lips gently with the paste. Do this once a week to restore your natural lip color and shine.
- You can also make a scrub by mixing one teaspoon of granulated sugar, one teaspoon of honey, and one-half teaspoon of almond oil. Use it to scrub your lips once a week.
- Alternatively, you can simply mix some sugar with cold cream and use it to scrub your lips gently before going to bed. Do this once a week.
5. Beetroot
Another readily available ingredient that can help you get pink lips is beetroot. Beetroot has natural bleaching properties that can lighten dark lips.
- Apply fresh beetroot juice on your lips before going to bed. Wash it off the next morning. The natural red color of the juice will turn your dark lips rosy. Do this daily before going to bed.
- You can mix equal amounts of beetroot juice and carrot juice and apply it on your lips. Massage gently and leave it on for 10 minutes before rinsing it off with lukewarm water. Do this once daily for a week or two.
6. Pomegranate

8. Berries
Berries like raspberries and strawberries contain vital minerals and vitamins that are highly essential for keeping your lips healthy and vibrant. Both raspberries and strawberries also can turn dark lips into rosy pink lips.
- Mix one-half tablespoon of raspberry juice with a little aloe vera gel and honey. Apply the paste on your lips and scrub gently. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then rinse it off with lukewarm water. Do this three or four times a week.
- Mix one tablespoon of strawberry juice with two tablespoons of petroleum jelly. Use this mixture as lip balm twice daily.
9. Honey
Honey is a natural moisturizing ingredient that can soften your lips and help restore their natural pink color.
- Apply honey on your lips before going to bed and leave it on overnight. In the morning, wash it off with lukewarm water. Do this daily to make your lips pink.
- Mix one-half teaspoon each of yogurt, honey, and gram flour to make a paste. Apply the paste on your lips and leave it on for 30 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Follow this remedy once daily.
10. Almond Oil
Almond oil is another widely used home remedy for dark lips due to its softening and moisturizing properties.
- Mix five or six drops of almond oil with one tablespoon of honey and put it on your lips whenever they feel dry. Within days, your lips will become soft and smooth and have a natural pink glow.

Plz i hav a very bad skin and i dont know what to do.
sulemana first u should drink green tea daily.in morning wash face with face wash.use pack of haldi turmeric n raw milk.apply coconut oil n at nite do cleansing n toning.
Turmeric n raw milk in d mornin?
anytime.usually after coming from work or on weekends.
Yes.its so gud for skin
Why?
Use Virgin Coconut Oil only else you will suffer from severe break outs.
Don’t really have to prepare all that. Use Ayur Sandalwood pack and make it with rosewater. Or if it’s winter season, add orange juice to pack. It’s excellent! And green tea is also not necessary just a good amt of water will do. But hey do you know? Beer is also very good for skin. I mean drinking a pint everyday is really good for you
Use honey lemon turmeric paste

Cucumber *juice* under eyes and on lips is the most effective for unwanted dark skin. It will lighten as much as your DNA allows. Also for acne invest in a facial steamer and aloe vera plant you must SWEAT the dirt away and apply the gel directly from the aloe vera plant. Drink plenty of water and you’ll be amazed at the results and you’ll save LOTS of money as well. Best wishes all!
Good tips, thank u.

Use red paint for red lips
One of de best way tu make lip reddish is we have tu use mixture of lemon and honey daily
I had a gud result it iss very effective
I read a similar article last week and I can’t believe the difference, this is my story. I’m Caucasian, but smoking was why my lips were dark. I read reviews about a lip lightening product 5 1/2 days ago and it made me look up homeopathic options to lighten lips instead. . I wish that I took photos. Selling Nothing here, my lips look better than I can remember in high school 30 years ago. I made their tips easier and it worked.
Take a facial exfoliating sponge (costs like 2.00 anywhere). Gently rub you lips with just the sponge and water, don’t cut them. Take one or two drops of lemon juice from that plastic lemon that’s been in your fridge for ages and put it on your lips. Let it dry for about 10 seconds. Cover with your normal soft lip balm. I saw a small difference even the first time, probably because of exfoliating. I’ve done this morning, after dinner, and before bed each day. I apply lip balm during the day at work anyway because it’s winter now. Every day my lips looked better and lighter. Yesterday I couldn’t stop looking at them I was so shocked at this big a difference in less than a week. Wrinkles and darkness are both gone, I looked like I was wearing pink lipstick. I said I want them at little lighter still, but I wondered if it will or if I had reached where my normal color is anyway. Nope, this morning they are lighter still. I did do it a couple of extra times yesterday on my day off. I AM SO EXCITED LADIES. Costs next to nothing, it’s easy, and boy did it work fast. Don’t know if it will work for folks when medicine is the problem, but please try it. It’s such a crazy difference that I ran to share it with everyone here.
Guyz use mixture of lemon and honey for reddish lip it is very effective
For beetroot tip- after using this tip can iuse my daily lipstick
Thanks in Advance
Hello, my skin is allergic to lemon. When I apply lemon on my face with milk, it makes it very dry with red rashes. So I don’t use it on my face anymore. Right now I am looking for ways to lighten my dark lips. So should I go with the lemon home remedy. I am not sure if I apply to my lips it would affect my facial skin as well. So pls suggest if I should go with the lemon home remedy for lips or any other aforementioned remedy to treat dark lips.
