Suggest Remedy For Discoloration And Dryness Of Lips

I constantly wear matté lipstick, I'm assuming this is the problem because before I got into this habit my lips looked normal and now I feel like I can't leave my house without putting some product on my lips to make it look less dry & it has absolutely no color left to it anymore...help? besides lip balm because I have been applying it religiously.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that due to continuous use of lip cosmetics you have got Hyperpigmentation ang chapping of lips..

You should avoid using any skin cosmetic and apply Petroleum jelly or beeswax containing lip balm as it locks moisture as well as lubricate the lips..
You can also apply Aloevera gel..
Do cold compresses over lips as it promote blood supply and improve the colour and reduce dryness..
Drink plenty of water..
Avoid sucking the lips as it removes moisture ..
Always apply a SPF 15 containing lip balm when exposed to sun..
Exfoliate your lips twice a week with a mild scrub..

Hope this information helps..
