Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
It is relatively common to find yourself with a black lip or lips at some stage of your life. Just like the skin on other parts of your body, your lips suffer from the sun’s rays. Your lips are vulnerable to hyperpigmentation, the overproduction of melanin.
I advice you to avoid smoking, if you do. Avoid caffeine, even lip stains can cause dark lips, sunburn can also cause.
Use sunscreen or antioxidant vitamins C and E can
improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin, including lips discolored by ultraviolet light.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that have found something useful to help you and I shall be glad to answer any further apprehensions.
Sincerely,
