Sugar with olive oil Exfoliating your lips on a regular basis is another approach to get naturally pink lips. Exfoliating your lips is vital for removing dead skin cells and rejuvenating your skin. The greatest approach to exfoliate and nurture your lips is with a sugar and olive oil scrub. Mix one tablespoon of sugar with three tablespoons of olive oil, then massage the mixture into your lips. Let the scrub sit on your mouth for 10 minutes before rinsing it off. Olive oil is very moisturizing and helps prevent cracking and chapping. It also has some colorants in it that can make your lips look more vibrant red. However, since olive oil is a fat, it can cause your lips to become puffy and increase their volume dramatically. This is not desirable because most people want their lips to be slightly fuller instead. If you want to make your lips look more pink, use a little bit of red wine or cherry juice as a stain for your olive oil scrub. Pink lips are a sign of healthful lips, so if you're lacking in any particular nutrient, your lips will appear pale compared to someone who is getting all they need. For example, if you're vitamin B12 deficient, your lips will appear pale rather than rosy.
