Suggest Remedy For Dark Area Above Upper Lips
Hey. I have a dark area below my nose and above my upper lip. I don t have any hair in that area. But it s comparatively distinct from the rest of the skin tone. Please suggest a natural remedy that can cure it as I don t want to wax or thread that area. Please respond. Thank you.

Hello,
I understand your concern for dark area above upper lips.
The type of problem which you have described is most often seen in the condition of sun damage or in persons who lick their lips too often.
You just check out both these things in your routine and if both are the factors then stop licking the lips as well as protect yourself form the direct sunlight.
In my patients with your kind of problem I suggest them to have sun protection by a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion to e applied for 2-3 times daily.
I suggest my patients to apply a cream containing Kojic acid along with arbutin and mulberry extract at night time in a very thin layer so that it should not be visible to the naked eye.
Additionally I suggest taking plenty of fruits and green vegetables to protect your skin in a natural way.
All the best.
