This habit gradually weakens the body, increasing the risk of many diseases. Smokers' lips often turn black.
Dr. Vijay Singhal, Senior Consultant, Dermatologist, Sri Balaji Action Medical Institute, Delhi says that smoking also affects teeth and their colour also starts deteriorating. But how to cure dark lips due to smoking, let's ask our experts for the answer.
Experts say that smoking makes the skin cells around the lips feel hot. They become active and start producing melanin. However, through this process the skin protects the body from heat. Because cigarettes contain nicotine, it causes the blood vessels to contract and narrow.
This reduces blood circulation. Apart from this, there is also a lack of oxygen and nutrients necessary to keep the skin soft. Lips also turn black due to exposure to nicotine.
Dr. Vijay Singhal says that if the skin on your lips has become dead, then you should mix rose water and glycerin in cotton and rub it well on your lips. By doing this, your lips will become pink and soft in a few days. Scrubbing with the help of coffee is a good option to remove black dead skin from the lips. This can also get rid of black lips.
Green tea is also a good remedy to get rid of dull lips. For this, boil a bag of green tea in a cup of hot water, add a teaspoon of honey to it and massage the lips with it. Apart from this, apply aloe vera pulp on the lips 2-3 times a day, this will remove the blackness.
