When the lip is dry we automatically tend to lick it with our lips, trying to make it moist and hydrated. But what we are doing is drying the lips even more, and also this could be the reason your lip is turning black.

Saliva is bad for your lips because of the digestive enzyme present in saliva. These enzymes break down the skin cells and cause them to dry up even faster. Hence, this habit leaves the lips more prone to drying, chapping and peeling. So, just hydrate( drink water) your body next time when you feel the lip is dry which is a healthy way to restore moisture.

4. Avoid Heavy pigmented chemical-filled lipsticks and prefer natural formulations.

The lipstick that stays for a long time has heavy chemicals. we need to avoid using such lipstick to save our lips and health. Check with the ingredients and find lipstick which has butter and oil formulations. You should do this because the chemical lipsticks can have a long-lasting ill effect on lips. It blocks pores, dry are the lips, and causes allergies and irritation.

To hide all these ill effects you might use more lipstick that makes this vicious cycle continue forever. Apart from the harm, it causes to the lips, the lead in the lipstick can also harm your body.
