What Could The Dark Ring On Lip Indicate?

hi im almost 14 years old and i know this online web is just for adults but i need tips about this: i have a dark ring right under my lip,i think it started forming in 5th grade and now i am in 8th grade.It doesn't look that bad,but im trying to get rid of it because it makes me look unattractive close up.How do i get rid of it so it can lighten up a bit with my skin tone? Could i try vaseline and salt or even lemon juice in a bottle?

helo thanks for consulting at hcm..u could try natural remedies to brightern ur dark rings around the lips..Natural home remedy using 1) lemon juice and turmeric powder: 2) using tomatoes and lemon juice. 3) Rub potato slice on tanned skin for 5-10 min .Honey - it can soften lips and give your lips a pink glow. Lemon: use it to naturally lighten dark lips. use one tablespoon of strawberry juice with two tablespoons of petroleum jelly on your lips. strawberries and raspberries: make a paste by mixing raspberries along with pure honey and aloe Vera juice. Apply one of these oils onto your lips before going to sleep,like olive oil, mustard oil, tea tree oil. Massage your lips with ice cubes. Apply the mixture of castor oil and almond oil to massage your lips.hope it helps,tc
