From lip tints, to lip glosses, social media filters, so on and so forth, we all long to have pinker lips. A rather attractive feature, whether intentional or not, many spend time doing what they can to make their lips look pinker, wetter, even sexier. 

In lieu of that, this listicle would focus on the 6 ways you would be on your way to attaining those pinker lips. 

1. Exfoliate

Whether it is using your toothbrush to gently brush your lips, or using a lip scrub, exfoliating your lips can help get rid of all the debris on your lips. It will remove the dead skin, as well as help with blood circulation, making lips pinker. 

2. Stay hydrated

Like usual, no problem cannot be solved with water. Having the appropriate amount of 8 glasses per day will keep your body hydrated. With it would come fuller, healthier and yes, pinker lips. 

3. Lessen smoking/alcohol/caffeine

Smoking makes your lips darker in shade, alcohol leaves your lips chapped and caffeine can leave a stain. Lessen all three will certainly work in your favour of attaining pinker lips. 

4. Use sunscreen for lips

Believe it or not, UV rays from the sun can very much damage lips, just like how it damages your skin. Due to that, using sunscreen with an SPF 15 and above for your lips, will protect it from the sun, making it healthier and pinker. 

5. Stop licking your lips

Many do this as a habit, or just so that their lips appear pinker, wetter and more attractive. But, licking your lips actually leaves it chapped and dry. Your saliva contains elements that can speed up the process of drying your lips, leaving it duller and darker.  

6. Remove your lipstick before bed

Always be sure to remove your makeup, lipstick especially before you go to bed. Even if you do not have any product on your lip, giving it a wipe with some makeup remover before bed is a good step to pinker lips for sure. 

There are of course plenty other ways to getting pinker lips, but these 6 are the basics to starting!
