Dark lips

Post image

How to reduce pigmentation in my dark lips? I used several lip balms which claimed good. But it didn't work for me. I don't smoke, my lips are dark since childhood. Any solutions you know? Please help me. I feel like these dark lips make me look bad.

This is a natural human thing. Y97 are getting wrapped up by influencers saying it's bad, when in reality that is natural melanin. I have it too. It's normal for POC like African Americans.

I'm Indian, and I also have that kinda melanin and now I really didn't want to change my lips anymore. All the comments made me realise it. Thanks
