Hello, darkness of lips can occur due to vitamin deficiencies or dryness. Apply a lip moisturiser containing sun protection factor, eg- lipz. 2-3 times a day. Take a course of multivitamin for a month. Consult for external treatments and investigations if this does not help.

Dear lybrate-user, the excessive darkness of lips is due to aggravation of pitta formation (heat in the body ). Our lips are just a muscle exposed to the outer portion, but sometimes discoloration reduces our confidence level and decreases beauty. The best way to improve this condition is, simply reduce those foot items in your diet, which are increasing that pitta in the body ,like non-veg, fast food, wheat floor (maida), sweets, milk tea etc. Here, I'm mentioning some home remedies for you. First:mix lemon juice and rose water and keep in small container and refrigerate it, take this liquid mixture and rub it gently on your lips before going to sleep, repeat it 4-5 times a week. Second: take olive oil+ honey + sugar ------ make a fine paste for one time usage, apply on lips and leave it for 2-3 minutes, then rub with finger tip. Apply these, and drink plenty ofwater.
