When it comes to lip care, one size doesn’t fit all. Your lips are just as unique as your skin, and their pigmentation can tell you a lot about the type of care they need. Whether you’ve noticed darker corners, uneven patches, or full lip pigmentation, understanding your lip pigmentation type is the first step toward creating a custom lip care routine.
In this blog, we’ll help you identify your lip pigmentation level and offer tips and treatments—including our ABERA Dark Lips Corrector Cream—to achieve smooth, even-toned lips.
What Causes Lip Pigmentation?
Lip pigmentation refers to the darkening or discoloration of the lips due to a variety of factors, including genetics, sun exposure, lifestyle habits (like smoking), or even dehydration. Hyperpigmentation on the lips can leave them looking uneven and dull. But the good news is that with the right care, you can restore your lips to a more natural, balanced tone.
Let’s take a look at some common types of lip pigmentation and how you can create a lip care routine that works for you.
Identifying Your Lip Pigmentation Type
1. Dark at Lip Corners (10%)
- Dark pigmentation at the corners of the lips can be caused by dehydration, friction, or smoking. This type of pigmentation is relatively mild but can become more noticeable over time if left untreated.
- Routine: Gently exfoliate your lips twice a week to remove dead skin and avoid harsh scrubbing, which can aggravate the problem. Follow up with a hydrating balm to lock in moisture. Use ABERA Dark Lips Corrector Cream to target those corners and gradually lighten the area.
2. Dark Lower or Upper Lip (40%)
- Pigmentation that affects the lower or upper lip is often a result of sun exposure or hormonal changes.
- Routine: Protect your lips from the sun by applying an SPF lip balm during the day. For night care, use lips cream to treat the pigmented areas. Be sure to stay consistent with hydration to avoid further darkening.
3. Uneven Patches (60%)
- Uneven pigmentation is one of the most common lip concerns and can make your lips look patchy or discolored. It is typically caused by genetics or excessive dryness.
- Routine: Start with a gentle lip scrub to even out the texture of your lips. Apply ABERA Dark Lips Corrector Cream to the discolored areas twice a day for an even tone. Use a hydrating lip balm throughout the day to keep your lips soft and supple.
4. Pigmentation (80%)
Lips with high pigmentation need specialized care to lighten the overall tone without causing irritation. This level of pigmentation can be due to genetics or excessive exposure to pollutants.
Routine: Incorporate ABERA Dark Lips Corrector Cream into your daily routine, focusing on gradual brightening without stripping your lips of moisture. Be sure to drink plenty of water, as hydration is key to reducing pigmentation.
5. Hyperpigmentation (100%)
- Full hyperpigmentation of the lips is the most intense level, where the lips appear completely darkened. This is often the result of chronic sun exposure or other environmental factors.
- Routine: For hyperpigmentation, a consistent and targeted approach is essential. Use ABERA Dark Lips Corrector Cream daily to lighten the overall pigmentation and follow up with a protective lip balm containing SPF during the day. You may also want to avoid harsh chemicals and ensure that your lips are always moisturized.
