Hyperpigmentation

Hyperpigmentation is also known as darkening or discolouration. There are multiple causes, some of which include:

 

  • Genetics: you may have a predisposition to hyperpigmentation making you more susceptible to darker lips
  • Sun exposure: prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays can lead to an increase in melanin production in the lips, resulting in darker pigmentation
  • Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations, especially during pregnancy or due to hormonal disorders can trigger melanin overproduction
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: injuries or inflammation of the lips, such as cuts, burns or chapping can cause an increase in melanin production during the healing process
  • Allergic reactions: some individuals experience hyperpigmentation as a result of allergic reactions to some products
  • Medications: some medications such as antibiotics, antipsychotics etc. can casue hyperpigmentation as a side effect
  •  Underlying medical conditions: certain medical conditions such as Addison’s disease can casue lip hyperpigmentation

Shape and size

Asymmetry and thin lips are a normal genetic variation. As we age it is normal to lose fat from our faces as well as our lips. Over time, our lips become straighter as a result with loss of the cupids bow. It’s okay to have thin lips and and it’s also okay if you want to change it. The choice is yours.

 

 

What can you do ?

Hyperpigmentation

There are some measures you can take to help with hyperpigmentation:

  • Sun protection: applying lip products with SPF can help prevent sun-induced hyperpigmentation
  • Proper hydration: keeping the lips well hydrated can prevent chapping and risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
  • Topical treatments: if it is very distressing to you, some prescription creams containing retinoids, hydroquinone etc. can help lighten hyperpigmentation. However, it’s essential to consult a dermatologist before using any of these treatment
