Allergies, smoking..: Lips can turn darker due to smoking, dehydration, allergic reaction to makeup or sun exposure. It is best to not smoke but if you must, first apply petroleum jelly. Discontinue you lipstick and make up for 48 hours to see if color returns. Make sure to drink at least 48-64 oz of water a day - more if you drink a lot of caffeine. Always apply sunscreen to lips. If no improvement, see you doctor.
