The habit of smoking not only causes many harms to health but also causes dark lips. To make your lips brighter, you need to exfoliate regularly to remove the outermost layer damaged and darkened by smoking, and increase blood circulation to the lips. After exfoliation, you can use a number of topical products and different treatments to hydrate your lips, help restore their natural pigmentation, and maintain their healthy pink color.
