Enhance lip color Dark, discoloured lips can be a result of pigmentation caused due to exposure to the sun or hormones. It can also be a consequence of smoking or consumption of caffeine since this cuts the natural supply of oxygen to the lips, thus leaving them discoloured and black. To prevent discolouration of lips, drink plenty of water to flush away the toxins and apply Vaseline on your lips to keep them hydrated. Avoid licking your lips and avoid exposure to the sun. If you have to step out in the sun, use a lipstick of lip balm with sunscreen in it to protect your lips from the harmful sunrays. Don't use old or expired lipsticks since this could lead to discolouration as well as allergies that can adversely affect your lips.
If you already have dark, discoloured lips, scrubbing them gently with an old toothbrush to exfoliate the surface level of dead skin might help. You could scrub your lips with lemon since the natural bleach in it will help to lighten the lips leaving them pinker in appearance. Since this might sting, apply some glycerine before you apply the lemon on your lips. You could also apply glycerine to your lips and leave it overnight. Apart from this, to make your lips appear red and full, you should regularly apply a lipstick or lip gloss.
