The darkness on the lips and in the inner lining of the mouth is called smoker's melanosis. Illicit alcohol and home brews containing acidic substances may cause black spots on your lips. Lack of sufficient water causes dehydration and the dehydration first attacks the sensitive skin, like lips, face etc.Applying lemon juice on your lips can make your lips lighter. Follow this for a couple of months. You can scrub your lips with a piece of lemon to exfoliate your skin. ... You can also apply a mixture of lemon juice, honey and glycerin (1/2 tbsp each) for improving the complexion of your lips.
