Aloe Vera

Aloe vera soothes the skin, lightens dark spots and helps in the formation of new skin cells. This is the most trusted natural option to reduce darkness around the lips.

lemon juice

Vitamin C present in lemon lightens the upper layer of the skin and is very effective in removing tanning. However, people with sensitive skin should keep its quantity less.

raw milk

Milk contains lactic acid which removes dead skin and gently cleanses the skin and makes it glow. It is very useful for pigmented skin around the lips.

Rose water

Rose water keeps the skin hydrated and does not let it dry. This reduces the chances of increasing pigmentation.

Turmeric
