Answer #1

well probaly because you lick your lips 2 much or probaly a break out. thats all I can think of. you can get some cream to prevent it from coming though.

Answer #2

The pigmentation around our mouths, eyes, inside of thighs etc are darker due to the thickness of the skin there. If you want to lighten the area you could use a cream called “fade out” which is available at all major chemists/pharmacies beside the ladies waxing/hair bleaching products. This gradually, with regular use lightens the areas of skin that we want to correct. It is very effective and not very expensive. If you just want a temporary look, apply your foundation and THEN a concealer one shade lighter than your make up and just “dot” it around your mouth, finishing with a light loose powder to stop it from “sweating” off during the day. Hope this helps.
