About hira khan
Naturally my lips are pink but the past few years they get started darker. I hate drinking coffee and smoking. I have also concerned with a doctor but she told me to use Vaseline because I have really dry lips and I really have a bad habit to lick my lips when I feel they are dry. But this Vaseline doesn’t suit on my lips now what I am supposed to do?
The colour is basically your gene. hereditary trait
Here I am ruling out any medical condition or medications you may have now.
That said Still if you eat a healthy diet with enough liquid then your skin tone will improve so will you lips glossy look No dehydration no constipation stay healthy. sweating by doing exercise also can help
Other than this, if you are a regular user of lipstick then choose a quality one with neutral color (no glossy look). A good lipstick can make your lips to stay moist and avoid drying.
You can lighten skin tone of your lips by exfoliating. Stop lickin your lips its make your lips even more dry. Just gently massage with corinader and beetroot juice. Do it regularly to get shiny and pinky lips.
Around my lips are discolored and I am only 12years old. People say my lips are disgusting
I’ve tried a lot of things on my lips to make them come back to color but it doesnt work CAN U PLEASE HELP ME? :’(
Lighten Up Lightening Lip Balm is effective for you and moreover you have to exfoliate your lip daily and apply a paste of rose petals and milk cream to apply on your lips
Licking of lips reduces the amount of a pigment called melanin located on lips, which results to dark lips. To get rid of dark lips you should go for Liplite. It works like a panacea for lips. It is particularly designed for de-pigmentation of lips. It helps to abate pigment formation that causes darkness and results in bright and pink lips that aesthetically define your face. It is the best lip balm for dark lips.
Where can i buy this?? I am from the UK. I have searched on amazon an ebay and found nothing for ‘LipLite’. I found a website in which they sell this balm, drkhurana.com but its not clear on how to buy, nor does it look safe. Please advise, thanks
Aisha I also search a lot about this product but I can’t find it anywhere except drkhurana.com. I search about it its safe and it also ship worldwide and I am giving you a link from there you can buy this by filling the form.

Hi Hira
Interesting that there are natural remedies for this, as well as a commercial product, as “LipLite” says above. I wonder if it works, without side effects
Thanks for your natural antidotes

I will add this product to my list. Thanks Roberta for sharing with us.
I have licked my lips for a while and I have a black spot on the right side of my mouth and it won’t go away. I get made fun of a lot can you please help me
Ms. Khan ?
Some causes of the symptoms you mention, could be lip biting, lip licking, Vit.B2 deficiency, smoking, over exposure to sun In extreme cases, this could be due to bacterial or fungal skin infection.
You need to drink plenty of water daily – around 1.5 – 3 liters per day and eat a balanced diet. Do not keep your lips dry; apply lip balm which contains sunscreen – preferably a medicated one.
You need to wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites.
Apply calamine lotion at the site of the lesions and see if it helps. You could take some oral antihistamine medications like cetrizine or loratadine. You need to maintain a good personal hygiene .

My lips are dark I try everything to light them up but they wouldn’t light up .. What can I do to light them up ??
Jojo gets an old toothbrush put Vaseline or lip balm on your lips then brush them. its basically exfoliates them leaving new skin which is pink and looks better. You can also apply Burts Bees Pomegranate lip balm. It is organic, all natural, and they make lips more red.
I used to use Vaseline, but it didn’t solve my dry lips problem, I once used honey for one of my kids( since it’s more natural) and the results were great!
Thanks for the tips, this gives me a variety of choices to choose from .

i have some problems with my lips. i have no gorgeous lips plus they’re too dark. i found that lips is the most attractive part of our body so this problem makes my self esteem low. I think that i got this from genetics which is my own mother and sister also have this problem. so, what’s suggestion that i can use here to solve it due to genetic cause..
If your problem is due to genetic coming from parents to children then first of all you have to exfoliate your lips with some good natural ingredients you can take brown sugar, lemon, olive oil and honey mix them together and apply it on your lips but do it gently. Then wash it off. When you are going to sleep take an old tooth brush and some toothpaste and apply on your lips every night. After 15 minutes wash it. I hope you will see results in a week. Take care and keep visiting.

You have to make the mixture regularly if you want good result.
Hi, I have the similar dark lips problem which is genetic issue. Saw your previous reply and I cant get brown sugar here. Could you provide any other solution.
Sara you can take white sugar or salt instead of brown sugar and mix olive oil, lemon and honey to exfoliate. after that When you are going to sleep take an old tooth brush and some toothpaste and apply on your lips every night. After 15 minutes wash it. I hope you will see results in a week. Take care and keep visiting.

my friend is sad dat she has dark lips.she always in lipstick at work.pls tel som thin for lighten her lips.
Before going out use a lipstick with sunscreen because UV Sun rays increase the production of melanin pigment which turn your lips dark. Always use a good brand of lipstick or lip glow. Make a mixture of lemon juice and glycerine and apply this to your lips. Regular application will show you the best results within few days. You can also make a natural lip scrub by using almond oil, honey and sugar.

Apply mash cucumber, aloe Vera gel, honey and lemon on your lips for almost 30 minutes then wash it off. When you are going to sleep apply honey coat on your lips and let it for the whole night, wash it off next morning. This makes your lips soft and smooth.

katherine recently posted…How to reduce wrinkles and age spots for looking younger
Mix honey with lime juice. Add a few drops of glycerin. Use it everyday on your lips and you will reap benefits in the long run. You may replace lime juice with the juice of freshly squeezed lemons. Mix honey with raw milk and leave the mixture on your lips for half-an-hour. This should be done daily.
If you are too much bothered with your dark lips and you don’t have the patience of trying out home remedies for they are quite time-taking ones, you may see the doctor. I hope it works

Hello there! my lips are naturally red .. but from past few months they are getting dark,and a black out line is forming .. I don’t know what’s the reason or is it because i drink tea alot ?? oh and i am a Teen :p
Your lip line appear may be due to poor health care. Take a clean dry toothbrush and a small amount of Vaseline and brush over lips gently for a few seconds. This removes dry patches.Apply good lip balm. Use one that has beeswax or glycerin and antioxidants like vitamins C and E in it. Wear a lipstick or lip balm with an SPF of 15 or higher. Use a facial sunscreen around your lips and keep your skin hydrated by drinking eight glasses of water a day.
