Many things can cause dark lips, such as smoking, dehydration, prolonged sun exposure, caffeine use, and even some drugs.
Although some people’s lips are naturally darker than others, there are a few at-home treatments you can attempt to lighten dark lips.

As a doctor and an obesity specialist, I have witnessed the incredible journey of women's bodies through various life stages, especially during menopause.
Menopause is a natural biological process that typically occurs in women around their late 40s or early 50s. It brings hormonal changes, leading to symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, and changes in body shape. As women age, their bodies naturally go through changes, including during menopause. This phase marks a significant transformation that often comes with challenges, both physical and emotional.
However, society often magnifies the negative views linked to these changes.

In a world driven by ever-evolving beauty standards, women often find themselves navigating through societal pressures to conform to unrealistic ideals. As they journey through different life stages, especially menopause, these pressures can become intensified, leading to a complex phenomenon known as body dysmorphia. For post-menopausal women, the challenges of body image and self-acceptance can be quite high, posing emotional and psychological hurdles.
