Bright and glowing skin is certainly the dream of all women. In addition, healthy and radiant face also allows women to get maximum results from their makeup. However, one thing that is often missed from their attention is the upper lip.
People usually focus only on their face skin as a whole, and they do not realise that the dark shadow on the upper lip skin might disturb their appearance. In fact, the dark shadow makes them look like having a faint moustache and thus less attractive.
The problem cannot be solved directly with chemical treatment methods such as waxing and bleaching. Besides, not every person’s skin is suited to these kinds of treatment. For those who want to get rid of the dark shadow on their upper lip skin, they can use the following natural ingredients, as cited on Boldsky website:
- Carrot Juice and Yogurt
Carrots contain beta carotene, which can repair damaged skin cells, and yogurt contains lactic acid which can brighten the skin. The mixture of these two natural ingredients definitely will help in getting rid of the dark upper lip shadow. Grate a few carrots and extract the juice. Mix the juice with yogurt thoroughly and apply it on the upper lip skin. Leave it for a few minutes and then rinse it off. Do this treatment daily for maximum result.
- Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is a natural ingredient that can brighten the skin and improve the skin pigmentation. Apply lemon juice on your upper lip skin. Allow the skin to soak up the lemon juice of a few minutes and then wipe it off using a wet cotton ball. Once the skin area is clean, gently massage it and add moisturiser. Do this once a week.
- Almond and Honey
The combination of almond and honey is the most effective remedy to get rid of the dark upper lip shadow. Soak five almonds overnight in lukewarm water, and then grind the almonds into a fine paste in the morning. Add honey to the almond paste and blend them well. Apply the paste on the darker area of upper lip skin. As it dries, rinse it off with cold water.
- Cucumber Juice
Cucumber juice has two benefits for the skin, as a natural bleaching agent and to soothe the inflamed skin. Make the juice using blender and apply it on the darker area of upper lip skin using a cotton swab. Allow the skin to soak up the juice for 10 minutes, then gently rinse it off with cold water.
