Dry and chapped lips are one of the most common winter problems—for both men and women. Many people turn to lip balms, lipsticks, or tints to heal cracked lips. Although tints are trending because they give a natural color, their chemical-based formulas often offer only temporary moisture and may even damage the lips over time. A better alternative is a homemade natural tint. With more people moving toward natural remedies, simple DIY tints have become a popular, safe choice that delivers great results without side effects.
If you want soft, naturally pink lips this winter, you can prepare a completely natural tint at home using only two ingredients. This article explains how to make it and how to use it correctly.
Two ingredients you need for a desi tint
Beetroot is widely available in winter and is known for its deep natural red pigment—perfect for a natural lip color. When combined with ghee, which deeply moisturizes and heals dry skin, it becomes an effective natural lip tint suitable for both men and women.
How to prepare this natural lip tint
-
Take one beetroot and grate it.
-
Put the grated beetroot in a clean cotton cloth and squeeze out the juice.
-
In a bowl, mix one teaspoon of ghee with the beetroot juice.
-
Blend well until a thick, smooth paste forms.
-
Store it in a small glass container.
You can use this homemade tint for up to one or two months. Men can also apply it—just use a smaller amount to avoid overly red lips.
How to apply the desi tint
This tint is applied slightly differently than regular market tints.
• Take a little tint on your fingertip and gently apply it to your lips.
• Leave it on for 15–20 minutes, then rinse.
• You can also apply it overnight for better results.
By morning, your lips will look soft, hydrated, and naturally pink. Using this tint regularly throughout the winter will show a visible improvement in lip texture and color.
