I have dark and dry lips. I drink plenty of water. I have used lip balms from different brands but it has not lightened my lips. Please suggest something for lips lightening and softening.

Not to worry.. treatment depends on the grade of pigment.....Do direct private online consultation for detailed prescription by sending photos.

There are many reasons for dry lips. Photos and detail history is required for correct diagnosis and treatment. Only lip balm is not enough. Avoid using lip colour or lip balm which has fragrance and colour that will add to your problem.
