Lip color is pink and moist is more interesting than the blackish lips, especially in women. However, even if we do not smoke any lip color can turn darker.
There is no specific cause of lips so dark, because it is different in each person, depending on the skin tones and age.
In general, the cause of darker lip color is hormonal imbalance. Women who have menopause are more susceptible to it.
Women who take the contraceptive pill for a long time will also experience hyperpigmentation of the skin or the color becomes darker.
Another cause is sun exposure. The skin around the lips and chin is very sensitive and this is the first part exposed to the sun. Conditions that can be worsened by smoking.
Indeed we can cover the dark lips with lipstick or concealer, but it is temporary.
Actually we can brighten this dark lips part with a simple routine with natural ingredients. For example, doing lip scrub with a mixture of sugar and honey. Do it regularly to remove dead skin cells on the lips.
We can also make a lip mask with kitchen spices, such as a mixture of tomato juice, turmeric powder, and lime juice, which is applied to the lips. Let stand about 20 minutes before rinsing, and do 3-4 times a week.
