7 Natural ways to get those Angelina Jolie style Pink Lips

Lips are the calling card of a healthy looking face. Full, rounded and pink; every damsel’s desire, an added attraction to a beautiful face, that easily gets the attention without asking for it. Sadly many start with light to healthy pink in their childhood but by the time they reach adulthood, the errant lifestyles would have got the better of them. Full maybe, but dry, irritated, chapped and itching, the dark lips are but the despair of many who could be paying scant attention to them in their teens. Caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee, tobacco from chewing or smoking, low water consumption help in the damage but are also aided by bad habits like licking the lips, applying strong dark shades of lipstick, moving in the sun without protection, allowing the lips to dry often.
