amsterdam Reviewed by amsterdam on 08-11-2005. How Can You Stop Your Lips From Getting Dark If you Smoke? What's up ? I'm 24 male and about to get head shots taken and my lips are darker. It doesn't look bad you would'nt know I smoke if I didn't mention it, but I was looking at some pic's of myself from about 2or3 years ago and my lips were pinker. I don't want them to get darker then this so I was wondering is there something I can use to make them lighter or stop them from getting darker. If not I'm willing to stop smoking only if my lips will improve if not then I don't know what to do. Rating: 5

i dont see why your lips are gettin darker. unless you dont wash em, maybe its just an accumulation of resin after the years... LOL jk

sorry cant help ya but i doubt theyre gonna get darker

when i toked on mostly j's, sometimes i'd get a glob of goo from the end but can't recall it ever being a long term prob (embarrassing at times tho)...i burn bowls now and as long as the pipe stays clean no resin drips out...unless it gets left sitting in the direct sun. then it's a fuckin mess! anyway, back to cleaning lips...toothpaste rubbed into a wet washcloth will take it off...along with more alcohol-soaked washcloths.

I too have the black lips from smoking...sure, not everyone has this problem. I have inquired about this matter on several sites but not much help has come from it...
Moneybags, check out indiaparenting.com, type black lips into the search bar, then go the title lip sync (I think), they have some good recomendation.
Yea, not all smokers (weed or cigs) get the lip problem (PS- its not from resin), I'm still trying to figure it out. I have an appointment with my doc next week...I'll write back as to what he says....

Hm, I've actually never heard of this.

<edit> I googled it and found some answers

First they're saying to cut back on smoking, drinking tea or coffee, then apply vasaline, ghee, olive oil, or lemon juice to them to moisturize and lighten 'em. It says it'll take about a month to see a difference..

Sensitive folk here. Chill out, smoke one, or two. By "headshots", what do you mean you're about to have them taken? Like an x-ray or something? Or you've been punched in the head a lot?

Anyways...I have never seen, or heard of this. My dad is 53, been smoking (weed) since '72, no dark lips. I know plenty of people who've been smoking for over 10yrs who don't have dark lips. It's not something I would worry about, who cares if your lips are darker. Slap on some chap-stick.

i think he may be taking these for a photo shoot. maybe he's a model or something? my lips are chapped. damned cold weather.
