We pay attention to our body parts. For face, neck, hands, feet, eyes everything. But what about the lips? Most of us wish to have beautiful, soft, pink, full-looking lips. However, due to many internal and external reasons, most of us struggle with dark lips. Dark lips are a concern for both men and women alike. While looking for ways to deal with pigmented, dull, and dark lips, I came across an organic lip lightening scrub by Bella Vita Organic. Read on for my review.

What are the causes of dark lips?
Many Indians have dark and pigmented lips. Women usually cover it with makeup. But prolonged use of lipstick too can be further damaging. Similarly, there are many external as well as internal factors that cause the darkening of lips. Here are some of the reasons:
1) Lack of hydration
2) Ageing
3) Excessive exposure to the sun
4) Smoking
5) Allergic reactions to makeup or other products
6) Excessive intake of caffeine
7) Certain medications
8) Underlying health issues
9) Genetics
10) Improper lip care
Yes, improper lip care can result in the darkening of lips. Lips are a very sensitive part of our body. We usually take the utmost care of our skin. However, most of the time, we end up ignoring our lips. Some fewer people take special care of the lips.
Lip care includes three steps:
- Scrub
- Exfoliate
- Moisture
And Bella Vita Organic’s NicoLips offers exactly this.

My Review
I’ve never used any lip scrub before and this was the first time I used one. My major lip concerns were pigmentation and dry-chapped lips. I used the product four times before writing this review.
The first thing that I liked was that the product was packed nicely. Since the product is small, it can be easily stored anywhere. Moreover, if you are going on any trips, you may also carry it along with you in your bag.
The fragrance is quite pleasant. The scrub has a grainy yet soft jelly-like texture. You just need a very small quantity of the product to scrub your lips. It is very easy to use and wash off. I love that this product is suitable for all genders and all skin types. And also that it is made from completely organic and natural ingredients. However, make sure you use the product only twice a week as overuse can have side-effects for certain people.
Shea butter and Olive oil is a well-known healing agent for dry and chapped lips. These are key ingredients in NicoLips scrub that conditions and protects lips from drying out. The oats and walnuts grits provide wonderful and gentle exfoliation. Along with exfoliation, the product also nourishes your lips.
Of course, to see the lip lightening results, one needs to use the product for a longer period. It takes time for a visible difference. However, right from the first use, NicoLips gives nice texture and smoothness to the lips. It does leave a slight pinkish color on the lips. My lips stayed hydrated and soft for a long time after use.
The drawback is for the quantity some may find the product a bit pricey.
