Dark lips

by Stella
(Miami, FL)

My lips got darker, specially the superior lip, what products or natural treatments could you recommend me to diminish the dark color? I was also thinking to try the whitening cream but i guess it is too abrasive for this hypersensitive and delicate are, What do you suggest Maria?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Stella, a skin lightening product is not the answer to dark lips. The lips are most sensitive, just like you said. The solution? Just rub lemon on your lips regularly. And don't forget to moisturize with a rich balm or cream at the end of the day because lemon has drying effects, but it can get rid of the dark patch. :-)
