You have probably tried using makeup, cosmetics and other ways to get rid of the dark lines around lips. The black upper lips still persist. Below, explore the methods of removing dark lips instantly, fast in a week, permanently and overnight.

How to get rid of dark lips fast

Dark patches around lips are a problem that cuts across all the genders. Men and women have look for ways to lighten at least the upper lip that appears to be dark.  It is not strange meeting the male with such darkness on the lips. Before you start searching for a prompt solution, finding the causes should be the first priority. So what causes the edges of the lips to be dark in men?

Remove these causes to get rid of black lips fast

It is the desire of every woman to have pinkish/reddish lips, naturally, the human lips add beauty to the face and any discoloration changes the overall look of the face. Most of the discolored lips can be associated with an environmental cause, mechanical chemical disorders, skin disorders and lifestyle disorders. Here are the causes of dark lips:

1. Too much sun exposure

Dark patches can arise when you get too much sunlight on your lips. The heat of the sun leaves burns on the lips and skin. The UV rays trigger the melanin deposition on the face and the lips happen to be affected. Usually, if you are in direct sunlight regions use a sunlight lotion for the face and lip balm.

2. Stop smoking to heal black lips

You have to stop smoking if you desire to have rosy lips. If you are a smoking addict then dark lips are not a coincidence. Smoking generally affects your health and the lips are equally affected. It is not surprising to find smokers with dark lines along the lips and brown teeth.

Smokers have generally dried lips as a result of poor health. The human skin largely depends on sufficient moisture, smoking dries the lips making them to crack and eventually loses color. And did you know that most people get dark lips from smoking weed.

3. Anemia can cause discoloration of lips

Anemia has been linked to being another cause of dark patches on the lips in both men and women. The problem is more common in women in their reproductive age. Iron deficiency in the body leads to the low supply of oxygen by hemoglobin in the red blood cells.

The overall low concentration of red blood cells translates to pale lips or discoloration. Foods that are rich in iron content especially fresh vegetables and fruits should increase the iron content and get rid of dark lip discoloration.

4. Melasma on lips, dermatitis, and jaundice

Any medical condition(s) that affects the skin has a way of influencing the color of the lips.

Skin conditions such as dermatitis, jaundice, and melasma will leave dark patches on the edges of the lips. How do the aforementioned skin disorders cause darkening of the lips? Explore below the discussion.

5. Dermatitis

This is a condition that causes the inflammation of the skin and it happens due to the number of causes. The known causes are categorized into two; contact dermatitis and atopic dermatitis. They are linked to allergic reactions or an immune hypersensitivity. The reactions caused by the contact dermatitis affects mainly the women causing skin lesion and this extends to the lips leaving behind dark patches.

6. Jaundice

Jaundice is a yellowish discoloration of the skin. The cause is attributed to high levels of chemical bilirubin in the blood. Jaundice in an adult is a symptom of underlying diseases some of which can be serious and life-threatening if not treated. The yellowish color of the skins spread to the face and the lips as well. In the process of skin inflammation, edges of the lips are equally affected leaving black spots.

7. Melasma on lips

Melasma is a common skin hyperpigmentation that causes grown to gray patches on the face. It is caused by excessive melanin on the skin particularly when you are exposed to too much sunlight. This condition appears anywhere on the skin but the most reported cases are the cheeks, around the nose, forehead, the chin and tend to extend the lip.

Your upper lip is likely to be affected and this condition leaves dark patches. This shouldn’t scare you much, treatment is simple. If you visit a dermatologist, the likelihood is basically sun protection. You might require wearing sunscreen and reapplying sunscreen lotion after some hours until the patches are gone for good.

Hello Marvin,
Sorry about that. I believe the darkening comes from the ice burning your lips. I would recommend that you avoid them especially if you have a sensitive skin. If you have to use ice cubes, limit the exposure or avoid applying them directly to your lips.
You could also try other remedies to get rid of dark lips faster, such as gently exfoliating with a toothbrush and vaseline, for both the upper lip and lower lip – one at a time.
I hope that helps.

If u lick ur lips a lot, that could be causing the dark ring around ur lips. I had the same problem when I was around 8 years old. Stop licking ur lips any time u feel ur lips are dry use a lip balm that will help get rid of thr discolouration.

I absolutely need my lips to change back to pink or red whatever. Anything good but what the corners of my bottom lips are right now. I just hate seeing myself in the mirror with these grey corners on my lips . Please help me. I know that once my lips are back to clean, healthy, and red again from when I was just a little boy, I can walk again with a smile on my face. I literally just had the worst 2 hours staring at myself in the mirror because I realized that I have the potential to grow up into such a handsome young man if only I didn’t have these grey corners on my lips. I’m tall, tan skinned , in shape, and I know how to get a pretty cool haircut. The only thing holding me back is my lips.

Can I use aloe plant on my lips

Reply
Dipti Moyi Sep 22, 2017 - 10:22 am

Hi Janis,
You can use aloe vera on the lips. Aloe vera has lots of benefits for lips and skin. Aloe vera is loaded with anti-aging, soothing and healing properties that will repair and treat your chapped, cracked, sunburned, and sore lips.
Aloe vera also helps to lighten dark lips . Apply some pure aloe vera gel onto the lips and let it sit for 10 minutes. Then rinse off your lips and apply a lip balm. Do it once or twice a week. And it will be better if you use aloe vera at night before sleeping.
Thanks.
