HYPER PIGMENTATION
Lips hyperpigmentation is a condition characterized by the darkening of the lips due to an increase in melanin production .
Melanin is the pigment responsible for the colour of the skin, hair and eyes. When it's production is heightened, it can lead to darker patches or overall darkening of the lips.
TRAUMA
Daily microtraumas to your lips can result from habits like licking or picking of them. Persistent licking of the lips elevates dryness. The salivary enzymes such as amylase and maltase wear down the lips skin, making it more vulnerable to dry air and increasing the risk of hyperpigmentation.
SMOKING
Contributes to excess melanin production in the skin and lips. Substance like nicotine tar and benzopyrene stimulates melanocytes to enlarge resulting in increased melanin production.
Smoking damages elastic and collagen in the lips, which are responsible for maintaining elasticity, leading to the lips that appear dull and dry.
