Our lips add to our facial beauty and enhance our overall personality. So, it is only an intelligent decision to take proper care of it.
In this blog, I will be sharing with you some of the practices that I follow or intend to follow (for some reason, I haven’t been able to do it yet) for taking good care of our precious lips.
Scrubbing our lips is necessary But, doing it daily is never a good idea. I do not scrub grounded sugar or such large grainy items on my soft lift.
Everybody has their own opinion and no one solution fits the requirements of all. Sugar may do good for others, but I am not quite comfortable with it. So, I use something else.
Know What I Do for Scrubbing My Lips
I take A pinch of turmeric (even lesser in quantity) and mix it with any body oil I use. It can be any oil, including olive oil, coconut oil, almond oil and even mustard oil. I mix the two and gently rub it on my lips in a circular motion. I don’t continue the massage for more than a minute. Doing it for 30 to 40 seconds also will help. Then, I wash it using normal tap water. That’s all. For my lips, this is all the scrubbing it requires for blooming in its natural glow and suppleness.
You can also take besan and mix it in water or milk and rub it in a circular motion on your lips. Also, whenever you are applying any homemade face mask on your face, you can put that mixture on your lips and rub it gently in a circular motion.
Scrubbing the lips thrice a week is enough. Don’t overdo it.
MOISTURIZING
After you are done scrubbing and patting it dry using a soft cloth, it’s time to moisturize it. Trust me, as a moisturizer the best option you have for your lips is the cold pressed castor oil. This oil is like nectar to the lips just as it is for the skin around our eyes. I have tried it so I know it. And, that’s why I am suggesting you.
Take a tiny drop of pure castor oil (cold-pressed virgin is all the ‘pure’ oil you can get nowadays) and apply it on your lips just as you would apply lipstick or lip balm. Circulate your finger gently all over your lips and its outline. Keep it as it is. Don’t swab it off.
You can apply castor oil on your lips every day before you go to bed and keep it overnight for the best result.
If you have desi ghee at home (I don’t have it), you can apply that also on your lips. It moisturizes and improves the natural tone of your lips.
Let me now share with you a lip balm that you can prepare at home.
Yummy Chocolacious Lip Balm
Ingredients used
1) Coco powder
2) Shea butter
3) Glycerine
4) Rose water
Recipe for Your Beautiful Lips
- Take 1 tablespoon shea butter and mix with 1 teaspoon of Coco powder.
- Mix it thoroughly. Take time.
- Meanwhile, add 1 teaspoon of rosewater
- Finally, add 1/2 teaspoon of glycerine
- Mix all properly till a lump-free creamy consistency
- Pour it into a small glass or ceramic container.
- Refrigerate and use as and when needed.
In place of Shea butter, you can also consider using Cocoa butter. In that case, probably, you don’t need to add Cocoa powder extra. If you wish, you can just add a pinch of it.
If, for any reason, the creamy mixture feels a little runny, then sprinkle a little Xanthan Gum powder on it and whisk thoroughly. Xanthan gum powder gives a very creamy or gel-like consistency to any mixture it is added to. The ingredient is readily available at any online shopping portal. Chances are high you don’t have to use this ingredient.
Benefits
- Will keep your lips better moisturized than any lip balm available in the market
- Keep it moisturized for a longer time frame as well.

If you are someone who has the habit of licking their lips often, rest assured the recipe won’t be hostile to your health system. PS, it doesn’t mean you can have it as a desert (sounds tempting though!). - Might help in lightening the dark patches on your lips with regular usage over time.
