Roses ~ The eternal symbol of romance aren’t just a sight for sore eyes but a wondrous beauty ingredient too! ♥
The winsome tinge of red that one’s lips are flushed with when smeared with the DIY that I am going to let you all would surely get you hooked to this DIY. Don’t believe? Head to your garden and kitchen, grab those ingredients and whip this delectable treat for your lips!
Ingredients:
Rose Petals : Read roses are what would be required for this recipe. The natural colour that directly comes from this natural ingredient rose adds a prepossessing tinge of pink/red without having any harsh effect. So, the next time you get those pretty flowers, don’t let them wilt. Put it to wise use!
Malai/Milk cream : Malai is the layer of cream that deposits on top of milk when milk is boiled and let to cool. That is what we need for this DIY. Malai works to deeply nourish our skin, including our lips and also improve its texture.
Glycerin : Glycerin is a wondrous humectant which helps in moisturizing skin. It is a natural cooling liquid which soothes our lips.It possesses the tendency to attract water to the skin. It also helps to circulate oxygen in skin cells. The oxygen circulation increases blood flow, which in turn makes the lips lucent.
Almond oil : By the virtue of being very high in Vitamin E, almond oil is an excellent emollient and lubricator for dry skin, particularly dry lips.
Procedure:
– In a clean and dry bowl, add pounded rose petals, a tbsp of malai/milk cream and a tsp each of almond oil and glycerine.
– Mix them well and apply a generous amount on your lips. It will take around 20-25 minutes to dry up completely. Wash off and apply a lip balm to seal in the moisture. Use daily. Regular use will lighten your lip’s pigmentation besides softening them!
– This lip pack can be used all with abandon. It is not gender-specific. So, all the men you know who are battling dry and unnaturally dark lips, can be recommended this lip pack.

Now goes the almond oil! (Rich hydration!)

Excellent DIY recipe, Nupur! :)
I’ve two rose plants at my garden but they produce orange flowers! I guess this recipe should use those ones called ‘Panneer roses’. (the ones used in the preparation of rose water!) Nevertheless, I shall give this a try as soon as possible! Sounds like a luxurious lip pack for sure. Loved the images!
I’m glad you liked it, Lancy. You can try with the orange ones too. The reason is that the colour of the roses should do away woth the pigmentation. I can’t vouch for the orange ones because pink is trued and tested and also looks natural on lip. But anyway, share the results once you try it :)
Once again, thank you for the appreciation :)
Definitely needed this in this harsh summer to protect our lips from tanning
Thank you so much, Jyoti for going through my article :)
Sounds so fresh! Is it more to refresh your lips or used as a lip stain?
Hi Yasmin :)
First of all, thank you for reading my article. And secondly, the pink tinge isn’t permanent. It’s a temporary lip stain. Depending on the frequency of usage, it leaves a more noticeable and relatively long lasting tinge. The essential point is moisturisation which the other ingredients help one acheive.
Hi all, i have dark spots on face but highly on nose and recently had acne scars on my cheeks. my problem is so worse now i am using roopmantra fairness cream and didn’ t give me any results. am allergic to honey please suggest a good skin care regime to fade off those spots.
Hey Riya,
Please drop your queries at my email! They will be solved in the ready query segment.
I am really loving your DIY segment. Adding this recipe to my ‘Must Try’ list.
Thank you, Sangeeta :) Glad to know that it caught your attention.
Awesome pack for lip pigmentation! Will try this out for sure. How long did it take to show results? :)
Hey Mariyam :) Thanks for going through my post. It took close to 4 weeks to remove 75% of pigmentation off my lips. That’s legit. Natural remedies take up time, so one needs to be consistent and patient.
Lancy, have I told you how sweet you are? Thank you for the beautiful comment you left on my blog… I just wanted to let you know I write about once a week, usually on Sundays due to the fact that I follow so many blogs as well, I am a mama and I work. I would love to write more but at the moment I don’t have that time xox
I will certainly drop by and visit you as much as possible… have a wonderful week and thank you so much again, I am really touched xox
