Recipe 3: Sugar Scrub with Beetroot (for deeper pink tone)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- Beetroot juice (enough to create a paste)
Instructions: Mix to form a paste. Gently massage onto lips and rinse. This recipe incorporates beetroot for a potentially more intense pink hue, but the effect varies depending on your natural lip color and skin tone. (Source: Quora)
Important Considerations:
- Gently massage the scrub onto your lips. Avoid harsh rubbing.
- Use the scrub once or twice a week, as over-exfoliation can irritate your lips.
- Always follow with a lip balm to moisturize and protect your lips after using the scrub.
- If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small area before applying the scrub to your entire lips.
Remember that the intensity of the pink color achieved depends on your natural lip color. These scrubs primarily focus on exfoliation and removing dead skin cells to enhance your natural lip color. For significantly darker lips, you may need to consider additional treatments.
