The thickness of the skin covering lips is much lesser compared to rest of the face. Also the melanin present in the lips is lower than the rest of the body. So you must be thinking what causes dark lips? Below are some factors that cause dark lips:

Smoking and chewing tobacco
High intake of caffeine
Allergic reactions
Low quality skin lightening products
Low quality cosmetics
