You will be surprised to know that our lips unlike most part of our body do not have any melanin pigment to protect them. Lips are covered on the outside by a thin layer of skin and on the inside by virtually transparent mucous membranes.
Therefore it is necessary to take care of our lips and to eat well-balanced food and lots of fruits.
If you have dark lips you have to do the following………
* Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
* Stop smoking.
* Avoid lipstick.
* Apply a layer of oil and leave it on for several hours. Best apply before going to bed
* Mix coconut oil and almond oil in equal quantity. Apply a coat of this on the lips and leave on overnight. This has to be done daily for at least two weeks for best results.
* Massage lips: Every night with a mixture of 1/2 tsp. Glycerine and 1/2 tsp. Castor oil with 1/2 tsp. Lemon juice and leave overnight.
* Apply cream from curds with saffron on your lips.
General Care for lips
* Apply cold cream or moisturizer or lip balm before applying lipstick.
* To get natural pink lips apply beetroot juice before bed.
* Grind rose petals and apply on lips to get smooth pink lips
* Apply menthol based lip balm and take an old brush and brush gently on lips (don t rub too hard, because lip are very sensitive) to get rid off chapped lips.

Use a dab of petroleum jelly at nights. Left overnight it takes off most dead skin that can accumulate overtime and result in darkness of lips. When its washed off you'll notice that your lips look more naturally pink and much plumper or full. For added protection moisturise daily with a lip balm. This is my routine from time to time. Not sure what results you'll have but I think its worth a try.

Your lips are dark because they are exposed to sunlight. Like skin, they will turn dark if they are constantly exposed to sunlight. There is no quick cure. You have to apply lip moisturiser with at least spf15 of protection. As time progress, it will be lightened. But if you do not protect it, it will be even darker and have winkles on it. Take care.
