Treating Dark Lips Part 2
👉🏻Most commonly hyperpigmentation around lips is due to underlying inflammation. This is best addressed by seeing your dermatologist. You may need patch testing or prescription topical medications to properly treat any underlying condition.
✅In general when it comes to lip care and fading dark lips:
1. Avoid irritants such as products like carmax, fragranced lip cosmetics, spicy and citrus foods (contact dermatitis), I even recommend no lip scrubs (physical exfoliants)
2. Be mindful of chronic lip licking and aggressively wiping your mouth after eating (frictional irritation)
3. Focus on repairing skin barrier first: regular use of petrolatum or if you prefer thicker emollients like @aveneusa Cicalfate or
@larocheposayusa Cicaplast Baume.
4. Use gentle brightening ingredients. I really like fragrance-free brighten eye creams to slowly fade hyperpigmentation
@olay Brightening Vitamin C eye Cream; @olehenriksen Banana Bright+ Eye Crème; @firstaidbeauty Niacinamide Eye Cream; @drunkelephant C Tango
5. Use Chemical Exfoliants, But With Caution. Start Off 1-2x Daily. I Recommend Lower Strength AHA Serums Like
@olay AHA Booster;
@biossance Lactic Acid Serum;
@firstaidbeauty Resurfacing Liquid 10 AHA, @glytoneusa Exfoliating Serum
5. Sun Protection Daily and No Smoking

What is the difference between blue seal vaseline and vaseline, they both have pure petroleum jelly
So, basically, do nothing for the lips, unless you can afford the high end products you listed…. I already use that face lotion, to reduce oily, shiny skin, and it doesn't work. That lotion costs like $37/bottle. I found I can add fave lotion with corn starch, and it works even better.
Yeah… No. Stop selling Walgreens high dollar crap.

Loved this video, it was very insightful! Just have a question about using lip scrubs. I see there are some more gentle lip scrubs that have a higher ratio of butters (eg. Shea) than sugar/ exfoliants. In this case is a lip scrub completely out?
Why are you yelling?
U mentioned no products liar

No scrub? Any other way to remove dead cells from lips? Plzz😊
How long should you leave lactic acid on lips?
I tried Carmex because my friends recommended it. My lips and around my lips were so dry because of braces, so I tried Carmex. I applied Carmex on my lips at first day and second day then there is some part around of my lips where still dry therefore I applied around of my lips as well then after a minute or an hour I guess, I look into the mirror and I LOOK TERRIBLE around my lips is so dark, and it is very noticeable. Maybe my skin is just sensitive, unlike the others. 😢

If your going in and out of sunny hot places. Do not Use Vaseline! Vaseline is good for hydrating and smoothing chapped lips but not for sun it can actually make it darker so use ank lip balm that has spf i recommend Aquqphor
citrus fruit is a potential irritant but everyone tells us to appy some lemon juice in our lips?
On my way to buy Vaseline petroleum jelly.
damn that ruins my plan or rubbing nail polish and preservatives on my lips…
Guys, there's not really a product made for dark lips, simply use any (made for face) brightening serum and use lip spf while in the sun
The brightening product from minimalist is quite effective. Minimalist lip treatment
