Whether your lips have darkened postpartum, due to smoking, aging, injury or sun damage, brightening your lips can be a tough task. Many lip lightening treatments promise to cure dark lips but come short, or the brightening ingredients create dry and chapped lips. That’s why it’s important to use a lip brightening balm that not only brightens but also moisturizes, nourishes and protects your lips – and your results!
Best Lip Balm for Dark Lips
Enter MOOD ILLUMINATE Lip Brightening Balm, a unique and natural lip balm that provides the perfect combination of ingredients to brighten dark and pigmented lips, while keeping them soft, supple and protected. Tested by skin experts, this lip balm has shown to produce results in as few as 2 weeks with daily use.
ILLUMINATE Lip Lightening Balm harnesses the power of natural brightening ingredients that are turmeric and lemon, which have been used for their brightening effects for thousands of years in Ayurveda. Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which helps to inhibit the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for darkening our skin.
Lemon brightens skin in several ways. The citric acid in lemon naturally exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing new, glowing layers of tissue. The Vitamin C in lemon also helps inhibit melanin production, the over-production of which is responsible for dark spots of hyperpigmentation.
Why not just use turmeric and lemon to brighten lips?
While it can be tempting to buy some turmeric, mix it with lemon and make a DIY lip scrub to treat dark lips, you are not going to achieve the same lip lightening results. In fact, you could make your hyperpigmentation even worse.
The key in effective skin care products is the combination and quality of ingredients being used. In addition to using biocompatible ingredients, MOOD ILLUMINATE lip balm for dark lips includes other synergistic ingredients that make it safe to use on even the most sensitive lips, while keeping lips hydrated. Those ingredients include Vitamin E, shea butter, cocoa butter, Manuka Honey and more.
Let’s take a deeper dive.
Moisturizing Lip Balm
Aside from its brightening properties, MOOD ILLUMINATE Lip Brightening Balm also has a softening and moisturizing effect. It contains a key ingredient not seen in many lip balms due to its exclusivity – Manuka honey.
Produced by bees that feed exclusively on the Manuka plant, which is only found in certain remote areas of New Zealand, this unprocessed honey has the strongest list of benefits than any other type of honey. On the list of benefits is its potency as a humectant, a component that draws water into the area where its applied, creating soft and supple lips. For reference, another humectant you may be familiar with is hyaluronic acid.
To protect the moisture in your lips and further hydrate them, ILLUMINATE lip balm contains a potent combination of shea butter and cocoa butter that are rich in fatty acids. This helps to prevent moisture loss and protect even extremely chapped lips.
PRO TIP: One of the things we think makes this a great lip balm is that it reduces the need for lip makeup because it gives a beautiful shine without being sticky like lip gloss!
Nourishing Lip Balm
In addition to its moisturizing and brightening properties, MOOD ILLUMINATE is also a nourishing lip balm. It contains turmeric, which is also a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredient. Turmeric is known for its ability to soothe and heal the skin, making it an excellent choice for those with dry, cracked, or inflamed lips.
Turmeric also has natural antibacterial properties, which help to prevent infections and promote faster healing. This ingredient works to stimulate circulation, bringing more blood flow to the lips and helping them to look healthier and more vibrant.
Vitamin E is also present in this moisturizing lip balm. Known as the worker vitamin, it prevents lips from losing moisture, keeps lips soft with its skin-softening properties, and protects lips from cellular damage due to its powerful antioxidant properties.
Protect Lips with Mineral SPF 30 Sun Protection
Keeping your lips pink requires protection from the sun. Sun damage can cause dark spots, discoloration, and premature aging, which can make your lips look dull and lifeless. That’s why it’s important to use a lip balm that not only brightens and nourishes but also protects your lips from further sun damage.
MOOD ILLUMINATE lip balm offers natural lip protection with broad spectrum mineral SPF 30 that helps to shield your lips from harmful UV rays, which can cause damage to your skin cells and your skin lightening results. Mineral sunscreen is a safe and effective way to protect your lips without the use of harmful chemicals found in chemical sunscreens. It is also a safer choice for the environment.
Plus, the mineral SPF 30 protection in MOOD ILLUMINATE Lip Brightening Balm is also water-resistant, making it an excellent choice for outdoor activities such as swimming, hiking or a sweaty HIIT session.
