Lip Neutralization: The Secret to Brighter, Even-Toned Lips

What is Lip Neutralization?

• Lip Neutralization is a specialised colour-correcting technique designed for individuals with dark, cool-toned, or unevenly pigmented lips. Unlike traditional lip blush, this treatment focuses on balancing and lightening the natural lip tone using warm pigments before applying any desired colour.
   
• It’s ideal for clients with melanin-rich lips, often caused by genetics, smoking, sun exposure, or hormonal changes.

Why is Lip Neutralization Important?
 

• Dark or discoloured lips may not hold colour well with regular lip blush
   
• Without correction, pigment can heal with ashy, bluish, or grey tones
   
• Neutralization ensures a balanced canvas for beautiful, long-lasting results
   
• Boosts lip confidence for clients who’ve struggled with discolouration for years
   

Benefits of Lip Neutralization
 

• Corrects dark, purple, blue, or grey undertones
   
• Prepares lips for future lip blush sessions
   
• Helps colour heal more evenly and naturally
   
• Reduces the appearance of pigmentation over time
   
• Gives a healthy, radiant base tone

Who Needs Lip Neutralization?
 

Lip neutralization is recommended for clients with:

• Naturally dark or cool-toned lips
   
• Hyperpigmentation due to lifestyle, ethnicity, or hormones
   
• Uneven lip colour or patches of discolouration
   
• Previous lip tattoos that healed with unwanted tones
   

The Process: What to Expect from Lip Neutralization
 

• Consultation: Analyse your natural lip tone, undertone, and desired result
   
• Colour Correction: Use of warm-toned pigments (orange, peach, yellow-red) to neutralise the dark tones
   
• Healing Time: Initial healing takes 7–10 days, full results in 6–8 weeks
   
• Touch-Up: need at least 3 sessions and up to 7 sessions for refinement or base building
   
• Lip Blush (Optional): After lips are fully neutralised, a soft colour can be added (pink, coral, nude, etc.)
   

Aftercare Tips

• Avoid spicy, acidic foods for 48 hours
   
• Keep lips moisturised and clean
   
• Avoid sun exposure during healing
   
• Do not pick or scratch peeling skin
   
• Use healing ointments as instructed
   

How Long Does It Last?
 

• Lip neutralization results can last 1.5 to 2 years, depending on skin type, lifestyle, and pigment retention. 
   
• Periodic touch-ups may be required.
