You have not mentioned whether your lips have turned dark recently or whether they were always this color. Everyone, especially girls and women wish to have luscious lips but at the same time they wish to have them look naturally pink. People with light complexions have naturally less melanin content in their skin. This makes the underlying blood vessels visible through the lips, and they appear pinkish or reddish in color. If you can point out the reason as to why your lips are becoming dark, you will be able to check it faster. Read on to know the easy and natural ways to make your lips pink and smooth, that too with the help of homemade remedies.
Crush rose petals, mix with fresh cream and use. This makes your lips naturally soft and pink. Alternatively, you may want to dip a cotton ball in rosewater and smooth it over your lips.
Cold milk and a bit of turmeric powder is a great way to brighten them up! Just a little powder mixed up with 1 teaspoon of cold milk. Mix this into a paste and then apply the mixture to your lips for up to 5 minutes. Keep doing this for about a week or two and you’ll see a huge improvement!
Take some turmeric powder, milk cream and honey and rub the mixture gently on your lips for five minutes. This will make your lips soft and pink.
Apply juice of beetroot before going to bed. You can also extract juice from a beetroot and apply it 3 – 4 times during daytime. You can also apply this while going out. It will appear like you have used lipstick.
Another tip on how to make lips pink naturally is to wipe them with a cotton ball soaked in rose water. This will make your lips soft.
Rub lemon juice onto your lips before bedtime to lighten your lips if you think they are too dark from drinking coffee, for instance. After applying lemon juice, wait until lips are dry and then moisturize your lips, as lemon juice can dry them out. Do this once a week.
Exfoliating can be done with a gentle, soft-bristle toothbrush. Just a little bit of water and you can rub the brush along your lips to keep them soft, silky and bright pink!
Sprinkle powdered sugar on a lemon wedge and rub over lips gently. This is a good way to naturally exfoliate and bleach lips, making them look smoother and redder.
Take a slice of lemon and rub the juice on your lips before going to bed. Let the juice dry up and then apply a moisturizer on your lips. Lemon has bleaching properties and it helps in removing the tan that has formed on your lips, thus making them pink once again.
Make a mixture of a spoon of honey, little gram flour, a spoon of yogurt and few lime juice drops.Use this mixture on the lips to make them pink.
Break a vitamin E capsule and apply on your lips before sleeping. You can mix vitamin E oil in some Vaseline to make your own lip balm.
If you work upon your lifestyle and follow the home remedies religiously, there is no reason why you won’t be able to bring back the lost color of your lips.
A proper picnic demands plenty of planning: Before taking a single bite you have to prepare food, pack the basket, and find a dry patch of grass to sit on. Let someone else handle the muss and fuss at Londons The Lanesborough, which is offering Butler Picnics in nearby Hyde Park for the second year in a row. For the elegant affair, a butler accompanies guests to the park and serves morsels from the kitchen of Apsleys, the hotels Michelin-starred restaurant (think Cornish poached lobster with Beluga mayo, Taittinger Rose Champagne, and house-made artisan chocolates). Naturally, paper plates wont suffice; picnickers dine with crystal glasses, Royal Worcester china plates, and linen napkins. Butler Picnics cost about $409 per person and are available from May to August. www.lanesborough.com
A sick crewman had to be airlifted to hospital by the coastguard helicopter last night in a journey hampered by bad weather.
The man was on board the offshore supply ship Vos Innovator, 100 miles northeast of Lerwick, when he became unwell. A call was made to the coastguard at 9.45pm.
Bad weather meant the planned landing at Clickimin in Lerwick had to be aborted and the helicopter touched down at Sumburgh Airport at 1.25am this morning.
South Shields hero Michael Richardson says the team aren’t looking at what their title rivals are doing – but instead are just focusing on the job in hand.
Richardson struck the only goal in Saturday’s 1-0 win over Bishop Auckland that stretched the Mariners’ winning run to 29 games.
It came less than 24 hours after title rivals North Shields could only draw 1-1 with West Allotment Celtic on Friday night, meaning the Mariners cut the gap at the top of the Northern League Division One table to six points.
South Shields have three games in hand, the first of which they play tonight when they host Consett, before travelling to North Shields for a huge clash on Saturday.
“If other teams are drawing and dropping points, as long as we keep winning – and then they are looking at us keep winning games – then it is all in our hands.
Tonight’s game will be the third time Shields have atken on Consett this season, having drawn 3-3 in the second game of the campaign, and beaten the Steelmen in the semi-final of the Durham Challenge Cup last month.
“They were a good team when we played them up there,” Richardson added. “They came flying out of the blocks so we need to do the same.
“It will be a tough game but hopefully we can get a couple of goals ahead and keep the ball and keep our energy, and then get a nice four-day break before the next game.
Saturday’s win means Shields now just need five points to secure a top-three finish, which will guarantee promotion to the Evo-stik League.
And while there is talk of titles and Wembley, joint manager Graham Fenton insists this is the main focus for the club.
He said: “Everyone knows that’s the football club wants to go up, so that’s the first target – how quickly can we get guaranteed promotion.
