• Consume a balanced diet rich in vegetables and fruits. Also, drink 8-10 glass of water daily to maintain everlasting glow on your skin. You can also jazz it up by adding lemon or fresh fruit juices. Exfoliate your lips with sugar or toothbrush at night, followed by applying milk cream. It will help you get soft, smooth and red lips.
