An older study suggests a compound in aloe vera inhibits melanin production. Once each day, apply a thin layer of fresh aloe vera gel onto your lips. Once it's dried, rinse it off with warm water.
Can aloe vera make lips pink?
Aloe vera contains aloesin [6], a flavonoid that is proven to control pigmentation, which in turn keeps your lips pink. You can drink the juice of the aloe vera plant or apply the gel as a moisturiser for your lips.
For a quick freshening up of lips, you can use a DIY lip scrub. Freshly squeezed lemon juice, when massaged on the lips, can lighten them. Sugar is also excellent in getting rid of unwanted dead skin. Mix it with some honey and get to work on your pout!
