What Are Pigmented Lips?
Dark lips showcase deeper pigmentation, varying widely due to genetics and environmental influences. While lip colour hinges on melanin production and blood flow, changing trends celebrate both natural and cosmetic-enhanced dark shades. Regardless, optimal lip care, including hydration and sun protection, remains vital for maintaining lip health and allure.
