Be a bit wary of lucas` pawpaw – I used to be a devotee as well until I found out it is mainly petroleum, so it doesn`t actually actively moisturise your skin, but instead creates a barrier on it… useful if you want to protect your skin from the elements but not so good for moisturising – and use it too often and it doesn`t let your skin breathe, just blocks your pores. Luckily there are natural versions of pawpaw available like Suvana!
Lol girls, that is funny!
Rukshirocks, I know exactly what you mean, I have many friends with darker complexion who have the same problem. They attribute it to smoking, cheap lippies, drinking too much coffee, etc. I understand that wearing light coloured lippie makes it all the more obvious. Try darker shades. Regular lip scrubs (like honey + castor sugar) may help. Keep them hydrated always.
