Hi there ~
I understand your concerns. I believe that the lips getting darker is a sign that you are not taking care of your lips well. If they are also painful and chapped you might want to use a chap stick to keep your lips moist and free from pain. Using cigarettes causes your lips to become dark, and I wonder if you are using any such substances.
I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
