I am a woman of colour. Clicked so fast. This is a constant battle!
Yes agree !!
Yes!
It really is goddam I look like a man sometimes lol
This is a battle am I have been trying to win. This has been hard work!!
@@95missnicole frrr 😭
Video summary/solution:
1- Sun protection
2- Avoid heat exposure (hot beverages)
3- Avoid irritating foods such as cinnamon, turmeric, etc. touching your lips
4- Look for ingredients that fade hyperpigmentation
Thank uuu
How is turmeric irritating?
@@khannahhaasan9582 It depends on the person, but if you’re not used to eating tumeric in foods or have sensitive skin, it could affect your skin!!
Turmeric actually lightens dark lips tho. I’ve seen a few vids here of girls that used turmeric to lighten their hyperpigmentation on their lips. And it worked for them
Thank you!
I had a BAD morning, but sitting down with a cuppa and skin care talk with Dr Dray is soothing.
Hope your day is getting better!😊
I love her
❤️
Cuppa?
@@jennifersaylors3952 - thank you! 💕
@@carloshugoguzz 💖
Basically everthing an Indian person eats is what you said to stay away from, lol. Makes sense now why most of us Indian women have hyperpigmentation around our mouth, especially on the sides. So annoying! thanks for the video :)
Many Indians have insulin resistance or diabetes which often result in hyperpigmentation. It's not the turmeric.
@@sammychem5920 why so? is it from history
I’ve faded my melasma with these same guidelines that Dr. Dray has laid out. Definitely sunscreen, being gentle with the skin, and not using too many products (which I know is a natural reflex in order to try and fix the problem). The biggest change occurred though when I became more conscious about nutrition and what I was consuming. For me, I believe my melasma was catalyzed by the food I was eating, perhaps affecting my hormones, and then exacerbated by other factors (i.e. sun, stress, sleep). Everyone’s nutritional needs will be different, but I think it’s something also worth looking into.
Which foods?
Would you mind sharing which foods? Please
@@jennys2398 i Have seen a difference witj caffeine
This is almost creepy. I literally just searched for that two days ago, and here you are with a video.
Same!!!
Oh my gosh the same thing happened to me with the glycerine video!
This happens all the time with Dr. Dray lol
She does this all the time for me lol
She’s in your thoughts 👀
Is it just me, because Dr. Dray is literally glowing day by day! ❤️
Who agrees that Dr Dray is becoming more prettier by each day!❤️😍😍
This is my most trouble part on my face and its embarrasssing. I will keep my hand over my mouth alot while talking .. glad i found your video
unfortunately I have the same problem :( Did your spots heal?
Finallyyy!! I hope this video helps me because no one talks about it seriously enough to suggest real solutions.
Thank you so much for this! I will try what you recommended. This is something that makes me very insecure, specifically the darkness in the corner of the lips because even after makeup it still shows and I just feel like it ruins it and I can't stop looking at it. So I'm really gratefully to you for providing everyone with such useful information ❤
I know I’m so insecure about this as well. I feel like a man. Makeup helps but you can still see it. ☹️
You are not alone 🤍
@@mslily3311Yes! Makeup helps but it won't actually go away!
Hi👋 did you find any solution?
@@homam2898 unfortunately I have the same problem :( I am so sorry. After a month long seaside vacation, my spots have darkened and I feel very insecure. I hope the spots will lighten in the winter months. I am so sorry.😩
ORGANIC NEEM OIL from WholeFoods for minimum 8 weeks WORKED for me.
Put on upper lip at night...just a little...spread with finger. Wipe from lips.
VERY strong smell initially, but goes away quickly. I wear it under my makeup, even. It WORKS!
Having your upper lip wax may also increase your chance of getting it.
I don't like how the lipstick applies differently on my upper & lower lip (i'm indian so it's like dark). looks odd. Looking forward to get rid of the hyperpigmentation. thanks for this video.
I don't know if that's the same thing. This happens with black women as well. In the past, there were cosmetic companies (like Fashion Fair) that catered to women of color that sold what were called lip balancers so your lip color would appear more even on the lips. I don't know if they still sell those products.
Same issue 🤷 that's bcoz of some deficiency. & what she's talking about in the video is the moustache area, that's where hyperpigmentation can be the cause. I do have both the issues 😂
Something else to try, check out dr vanita rattan. She specializes in skin of color. Maybe she has something dealing with lips. I might check out dr alexis stephens and labeautyologist (the golden rx) who also deal with skins of color.
Ohh yes!!!!!!
Please check Dr Vanita Rattan or Dr Alexis who specialize in hyperpigmentation of skin of color. Youll get good advice with these two amazing women!💜
Can you talk about how to fade just darkness in other areas like armpits, bikini line etc?
I think the questions are about the actual upper lip, not the mustache area. I think it is just genetic/ethnicity though...
No one:
Dr. Dray: Well hey guys
Me: 🙂
I’ve been waiting on this Thank You 🙏🏻
Enjoy
@@DrDrayzday doc please do a vedio on dark underarms..
You are incredible. Your videos are so eloquent, plain English and direct to te point and I trust you 100%. Love you lots 😘😘😘❤️
Probably a year ago I noticed a faint bluish tint above my upper lip. I was horrified, thinking it might be a circulatory problem, particularly since I am a “woman of a certain age.” My investigating online revealed melasma & a possible hormonal connection. I was relieved I wasn’t about to croak from a heart attack. Anyway, on a recent visit to a new dermatologist, I showed her my fingernails, which have a straight dark line running from cuticle to tip on 4-5 of my nails. Then when I removed my mask, she saw my mustache & told me that it’s likely caused from years of taking Minocycline for my rosacea. She changed my meds to Doxycycline. I’m so hoping this change will help, especially since it’s less convenient to take this med (b/c of having to space out daily products, supplements, & other meds & b/c it’s a 2 x day dose). Anyway, perhaps this info. will help someone else. Thanks for your video!
Yes, my upper lip doesnt like sunscreen 😆 its the part of my face that sweats the fastest during the summer so I do have sun marks there and looks horrible 😒
Omg my upper lip sweats too , it seems weird
I did everything nothing works . Please some one help me . I feel so embarrassed .
I can relate 😭 Did you find any solution?😊
। can feel you😶
It’s hair remover cream ( crème épilatoire ) that causes this for me I’m fair with some olive undertone
Wait a minute...this is what I changed in my routine! This might be the case for me as well. Same skin tone.
@@IndigomeetsRiver oh my god me too, when I started to use it on a more regular basis. It seems to be fading by using a Derma blade and Palmers fade cream 👍
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE !!! Just noticed it maybe a few weeks ago. :( it makes me look like I have a stash and it’s driving me nuts!!!! 😩 and when I take my tinted sunscreen off at the end of the day I really see it and it makes me so sad :(
What tinted sunscreen do you use? Mine doesn’t even cover it
@@chrisluisangel I use a few. :) AMAVARA tinted sunscreen, ilia spf super serum tinted, CC tinted spf from Maybaline (however you spell it), if you need more coverage IT cosmetics has a great CC cream with spf and it’s very good coverage. Hope this helps :)
Same. I’ve seen this both last summer and this summer on me, never before. It’s so disappointing.
Mine is on the corner of my lips, i look like I'm frowning 😭
SAME, it makes me so insecure! I feel like the rest of my face looks good and then BOOM my stash 😭
Hi Dr. Dray, thanks for all your advice. I have a video suggestion: best spray SPFs. The reason being for us dark girls (well, for any gal) applying sunscreen 3x a day could be more easily done at our desks while working say, if we can just mist our faces with the sunscreen. I am an architect and I have set my desk up right in front of a glorious window and I don't want to move. Very, very best to you. You're the best.
I have been waiting years for this!
Thank you for the video.
Never thought about all those factors. I'm medium skin tone so "all the perks" that come with that.
I did not know that heat can cause hyperpigmentation. I got a dark upper lip from using the Finishing Touch Flawless for facial hair. It does produce a lot of heat when using it. But now I look like I have a mustache no matter how much hair I remove. So angry and frustrated for using that little gizmo, I thought I would make my life easier but I thought wrong! Thanks for all the info Dr👌🏽👍🏽 will definitely try those recommendations!! 💜😉
No offense but first of all turmeric has been used topically for centuries in India to remove suntan and hyperpigmentation naturally. It is also consumed heavily with no ill effects - ask over 1 billion people. Secondly, hydroquinone is banned in many countries due to severe adverse affects. Thirdly, hyperpigmentation in brown people is often due to diabetes, insulin resistance, PCOS, thyroid issues, eczema - get these under control, and maintain healthy diet. Also frequent waxing can cause irritation.
Lastly, If you are a person of color check out the 100s of brown people videos on natural ways of getting rid of hyperpigmentation. Many OTC products don't help treat dark skin.
I had brown line mark above my upper lip and its healing now . First you need to use a face razor specially for face it is available in Amazon and scrub that area with honey and lemon once in a day and you'll see the result 👍
Could we use these products to correct hyperpigmentation on the actual lips?
I agree with all your points except for heat.
I remember when several dermatologists have told me that UV is the sole reason for the tanning of skin (production of melanin). Heat can't and will not tan.
Excellent video regardless.
Dr Dray why are you so helpful, love u! Med student here.
I NEEEEEED THIS! Sunstache sucks!
Thanks!. What is the best method for hair removal from this area that will not increase the pigmentation there?
Dr. DRAY I WANTED TO CRY WHEN YOU POSTED THIS! I HAVE A DARKER UPPER LIP BUT IT WAS FROM USING NAIR A WHILE A BACK. LISTENED TO A FRIEND AND IT IS NOW BEEN MY PROBLEM FOR 10 PLUS YEARS. DR DRAY PLEASE HELP ME!
Did you find any solution?
@@dk1492 no i still get a lot of dryness and i found that cortisone worsens it.,
Idk if mine is normal when I was younger i would like my lips a lot and they would get super chap and it created a dark circle around my mouth and it looks like a mustache.
same!
This struggle is real. I have upper lip and the corners and I am trying azeliac acid and alpha arbutin to try to lessen it for the last few months, too early but here is hoping!
Did it even work
@@malihafazal5578 Hi there, yeah no. I have added JJ Labs skin brightening & anti-aging recommended by Dr. Alexis Stephens and being strict with sunscreen inside. Will see if that does it.
@@hrhsophiathefirst4060 IT MAKES ME SO INSECURE😭😭😭😭😭
Nope, so I added a serum with tranexmic acid, arbutin and licorice as well but I have not seen any meaningful change. I started tretinoin a few weeks ago so maybe that will be the magical solution:(
@@hrhsophiathefirst4060 any update?
Happy Thursday, Dr Dray! Thanks for another interesting video. I hope you realize how many people you're helping. You're awesome!! Have a lovely evening. ❤
Oh shoot!!! 🤣 I’m from the UK i am literally always drinking boiling tea... and all of the spices you mentioned, turmeric, cinnamon, cloves... my go to homemade hot beverages. 🤦🏻♀️
Yes for this video! Happy Thursday Dr Dray and peeps ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Same to you!
@@DrDrayzday thank you 😊
Enjoy your day Reed 😊
Tretinoin made mine so much darker. I stopped using it for 3 weeks and it almost disappeared. Now I don't used tretinoin in that area.
@@sarrx6 Not necessarily. If it makes it darker though, stop. For you it might lighten it, everyone is different. For me it darkened it, and it took me a while to figure it out.
I love your vids Dr Dray. I don't miss a single one. This one especially will be so helpful for me as I have medium skin tone. I get hyper pigmentation from even small exposure of sun. Thanks a lot for mentioning all the points!
I have multiple “beauty marks” in my lips. Are these common?
Was really happy to see the title of the video as I asked this question on Instagram too ... But my problem is not the dark upper lip but actual lip... Dark lip... My lower lip is normal while upper is turning dark which looks really bad🙁 when I apply lipstick the darkness shows through the lipstick whick looks really bad😭
If the pigmentation is on your actual lip. Dr Vanita Rattan has created a treatment called Lipx. You can check her out on her channel. She is developing more treatments for other areas as this one is specifically for the lip. She specializes in skin of color, skin that tans as opposed to burns.
Me too. I thought when I saw the title that she was going to talk about the actual lips. My uper lip is also super dark and my lower lip is normal but has a dark lining under it. I use the baby lip from maybelline that has 20 spf but haven't seen much difference.
You could also look into dermopigmentation. Essentially a lip tattoo by a specialist. They can even out your lip color and make it look natural.
Dr. Vanita Rattan is a doctor and cosmetic formulator. Her products look good especially the lip product. I would love if Dr. Dray would review her line.
@@hithere8140 thank you so much ❣️ I would definitely check it out
Happy Thursday. Thank u for always educating us ☺️
I’m an avid coffee drinker never thought about that 🤷🏼♀️
Me too! I drink a cup of hot coffee everyday.
Mee too with tea
I got a dark lip from using Veet hair removal srips on my upper lip :( Thank you for the video! I will try your tips
Been searching for this for soo long! Thanks a lot for this video 💕
You're welcome 😊
For the first two recommendations, can we use it on the actual upper lip (not the area above it)? Thanks.
Turmeric is actually a skin brightner.
Hi dr dray! You should consider doing a video on skin care tips for ppl who are athletes or that sweat and shower multiple times per day!
Dr Dray, believe it or not the thing that has worked best for my hyperpigmentation has been The Ordinary's Natural Moisturizing factors with AH. After trying various things, for years and years, this moisturizer started fading it a LOT. My skin was not abnormally dry before, I used other moisturizers, so, what could be the ingredient that's doing it? I added some of their Niacinimide serum and it's working ever more but I swear the moisturizer on its own works.
Hi Dr.! Could you please consider making a video concerning Dr. Zein Obagi's approach and philisophy towards skincare? I find it slightly confusing yet very interesting. I believe as a dermatologist, you would as well...
With each of my pregnancies my top lip got a dark rim around it, it looked like the weird brown lip liner that people used in the 90s. Not a cute look.
Back then when our teenage girls were sporting that look to a ridiculous extreme my sister and I took eyeliner and lined our lips and then walked in the room where our girls were. Hilarious family memory😂
Do you think that the heat from breathing under our masks could also affect hyperpigmentation or melasma?
Wondering the same! Every summer for years I would get melisma on my upper lip until I got serious with sunscreen. Until this past summer-even with sunscreen I’m convinced the heat under the mask aggravated it.
Between maskne and this, being safe and wearing masks is really messing with our skin :(
I don’t think breath can get as hot as beverages and/or the sun, which can literally burn
I have melasma on my cheeks and haven’t noticed my melasma turning darker. I wear a hat everywhere though!!!
No.
Urban Skin Rx has Eventone Glow serum that includes a lot of these ingredients - vitamin c, arbutin, Kojic acid, azeleic acid, niacinamide. I’m not sure the UA-cam skin influencers aren’t talking about it.
*not sure WHY the UA-cam skin influencers
You look so healthy and pretty ✨🌸
🙂 thank you Dr. Dray for sharing your knowledge! I love watching your videos. Btw your arms are looking really great! 🙌🏻
If you have gained any new product knowledge or other insights into this issue I would LOVE another video. I tried one of the products without much success but I know different solutions work for different skin types. I’ve had dark patches on my upper lip for the last few years that won’t seem to budge and it would be awesome if you could share any new info! Thank you so much for sharing all of you knowledge! I use cereve moisturizing cream on my face every day because of your advice and it rocks and is so cheap! ❤❤❤you are the best!
Yes, please, Dr. Dray.
I have green upper lip after hair removal, I have it on my eyebrows as well where I remove hair 😮💨
Thought I was the only one with this problem 😅
Was eagerly waiting for it. Thank you doc🙏
I’m Hispanic with very light skin & I have it!! Got it after my 2 pregnancies.. It sucks.. been using sunscreen every day, alpha arbutin, tranexamic acid!! It gets lighter then goes back to dark again
You can use Alpha Arbutin around the lips? Is it safe?
@@sialee5926 I usually do Its my second bottle Without any irritation! Not on the actual lips but mustache area
Cindy L. I see..not sure if it’s safe to apply at the corners of the mouth
Include an exfoliant
@@dr.m6152 thanks I just bought Bha and a Aha toner
dr dray what u think about hair laser removal on upper lip? will it make darken the skin? thanks
Good morning ☀️ I am dark skinned and I have found that when I and my clients stopped waxing and started treating the area above the lip with actives and antioxidants, my“mustache “ completely went away. I love zinc oxide and I like shaving as opposed to waxing. I find this is a huge issue for so many and a real cause for them being self conscious. Also Turmeric masks have been amazing for dark skin just my opinion. Love you touched on this. 🍑Lisa
Hi! What kind of actives if you don’t mind sharing?
@@user-rm9nc2kv2g
I dont mind at all and thank you for being so kind.
I love
🍑light baking soda and water scrubs
🍑 a GOOD vitamin C
🍑 a product I make called luminous with Daisy flower extract and other natural ingredients.
I have other tricks as well but that’s a start. You want your skin to be ready for certain ingredients or it won’t matter. I hope this answered you. 🙌🏻🍑Lisa
You are extremely pale in your videos wtf
How much the product mam?huhu I want my mustache shadow remove
@@itsmeyan5029 I love zinc oxide Malin & Goetz. Did this help?
Sorry I don’t comment here because people can be so unkind. 🙌🏻🧡🍑Lisa
I started getting hypopigmentation on my upper lip. Especially when I’m working out, the rest of my face is red and flushed but my upper lip stays pale so it looks like I have a white mustache haha. I’m starting to feel self conscious about it now :( I haven’t been able to find any remedies for this.
You're telling me tumeric causes hyperpigmentation?? I apply a tumeric/ honey face mask weekly! 😩
it’s so funny how i tried it 2 times and IT MADE IT DARKER 😭
Please be aware chemical peels can worsen melasma, this is what happened to me :(
Please review the new Neutrogena “stubborn acne” and “stubborn marks” products!😊
What kind of prescription medication would you recommend?
I'm on my first of six weeks of hydroquinone and kojic acid prescribed by my dermatologist? I really hope it works bc I really hate it😭
Only thing that has worked for my melisma. Have struggled for over 10 years with melasma. And I do not go in the sun at all and use sunscreen religiously. Give it time it is the best. There are different concentrations.
@@cmll6010 yes its very annoying, I've tried covering it with makeup but it looks really bad!! Hopefully it works for me, mine developed during my 2nd pregnancy and I was exclusively breastfeeding so my dermatologist didn't recommend using this but im no longer breastfeeding so I'm able to start this journey im so excited!!😀
YES!!! I have been waiting for this video for so long. Thank you Dr Dray 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you for the Video. You can also cut the pads 🤗 greetings from Germany
Great tip!
I was wishing for this video for a while. Thanks a lot Dr.
Hi Dray, loved the video! Would you recommend these products for hyperpigmentation around the nipples and on the bikini area as well?
I need to wear makeup to conceal a very light upper lip area . I can’t figure out why.Just the opposite of what most people have. I’d love to be able to go with out makeup. I’m kinda liking having to wear the mask!! Lol
Haha same reason i don’t mind wearing a 😷
I have the same problem! And it gets worse every time I get it waxed or thread it. I wish we could figure out a solution for that
You look so pretty Dr Dray!! 😚
Great information, thank you as always, Dr. Dray! But, what about hypopigmentation? I have it after the treatment for hyperpigmentation, and now I have hyper and hypo, please, would you know if there's something that might help me with this?
Of course, those are my favorite spices. Very interesting, Dr.
Dray.
I am waiting to deliver baby #3 and return for laser at my derm.
Im so proud of u!!
Happy Thursday! Thanks for the tips!
Always great info Dr. Dray👍
Glad you think so!
it's a loosing battle , it's tiring and doesn't stay away always comes back I've finally just accepted my sun mustache
What do you think about home remedies for dark lips?
Is it the same solution as if it was caused by a waxing burn?
I really love my natural lip liner shade I wouldn’t change it for anything
Hi Dr Dray, Should I apply dark spot corrector above or underneath tretinoin?
can you make a what if you dont have access to expensive brands video?
Is it safe to use hyper pigmentaion cream and retinol in same routine in night time?
Can masks decrease visible blue light exposure?
Can we use Tretinoin and Azalaic acid ( Finacea) together in the pm? Or would that be too irritating? Thanks for the great video Dr Dray 🤗😘
Sun (not just vitamin D, but actual sun) is also protective against internal cancers. Do not overdo sun protection.
cut the pads in half.
Thank you for this video! Can you recommend any products that aren’t packaged in plastic?
Well hey Dr.Drayyy! loveee ya❤️
I drink coffee like 7 mugs a day...
and love spicy food,may be this the reason,my upper lip darkening 🤣
Same,but i have stoped it but my lips still dark
have an awesome Thursday
Same to you
Happy Thursday Tony J 😃
Dr. Dray your skin has never looked better than it has in the last few videos! Whatever you’re doing- SHARE! 😂🤣
wearing sunscreen
Cue me giving my sunscreen a dirty look for not giving me this effortless glow...😒🤣
What about vit a? Should we be applying that to the upperlip over moisturizer, like how you recommend for the rest of the face if we have hyperpigmentation on the upper lip?
