The problem of pigmented, dark or black lips is very common. We all like our lips to be pink and not pigmented.
Few of the reasons could be due to lack of proper care as well as an unhealthy lifestyle. They are said to be few of the reasons that can lead to a loss of the natural lip color, making them appear dark or black. Check out 8 Tips which can prevent from having Dark Lips.
Always maintain a healthy diet and eat lots of fruits and green vegetables. Vitamin C intake is very important for getting rid of lip pigmentation. Try to include foods with vitamins.
Scrub your lips at least once to twice every week to remove dead cells and dry skin from your lips, and improve blood circulation.
Nicotine causes darkening of the lips and lip discoloration. Quit smoking to get rid of that darkness on the lips.
Drink lot of water minimum 4 to 5 water daily. If your body is hydrated your lips will also be hydrated,
Prolonged and excessive use of lipsticks and lip cosmetics, especially lower-quality ones can also cause lip pigmentation.
Always buy lipstick from a good brand. Also check for the expiry date and not use expired lipsticks or lip products.
Always remove your lip makeup using a good lip makeup remover or olive/almond/coconut oil.
Excess consumption of caffeine like tea and coffee can turn lips black in addition to staining your teeth. So, limit your caffeine intake, in order to avoid your lips from acquiring a darker hue.
Exposure to the sun also causes lip darkening as there is an increased amount of melanin pigment in the lips. Ensure that you use lip products like lips balms with SPF/UV protectors, if you are going to spend time outside.
Lip pigmentation can also be genetic. So, in case, you have black or dark lips right from birth, there is not really much to be done.
