Dark Mouth Corners? How to Regain Normal Color

When you gaze at a mouth that’s gray, pale, purple or bluish at the corners, you can feel a sense of an energetic withdrawal. Simply put, discolored lips don’t look so kissable. No matter the natural hue of your lips, uniform color is a gage of health. In this blog, we’ll focus on dark mouth corners, as we’ll see in the first two photos below.

Lip gloss sells because we’re drawn to rosy lips; they magnetize and convey vitality. People with a fair complexion, have no melanin in their lips, which gives visibility to the blood in the capillaries just under the skin, making their lips appear pink. In people with a darker complexion and more melanin, the blood doesn’t show through to color their lips.

In a Victorian dressing room, according to novels of the time, the heroine would make a final adjustment to her sash or tresses, bite her lips to heighten their color, and then enter the ballroom. Moving from romance to functionality, lip color reflects how well our digestive process is transforming food into the precursors of red blood cells. When this process is optimum, when our blood is strong, we’re strong and our lips glimmer with a uniformly healthy hue.

Dark Mouth Corners

Below is a before and after photo sequence of a client, I’ll call her Katrina, with dark mouth corners. In her Face Reading Report, I made dietary suggestions addressed to her specific needs.

After trying these recommendations for eight days, she wrote that she was really struggling, deeply fatigued and feeling brittle. She wondered if she should immediately stop the diet.

Unfortunately, some people feel worse before they feel better, especially if there’s a so-called carb flu, or Herxheimer reaction. This appeared to be Katrina’s situation and I asked her to send a new photo.

A week later, I was delighted to receive her report and current photo.

“I’m now on day 15 of your diet and, as you predicted, after day 10 it got a lot better! My face isn’t so red, I’ve less acne and I’m feeling more at ease and positive. And I can not imagine going back to my old diet again.”

While acne and burnout were on her radar, dark mouth corners were not. So while we can also see that there’s less red in her face, what’s lovely is how quickly her lips are regaining a healthy color. Just look at her pinked up corners!

Discolored Lips? Pink them Up!

Should you have chronic digestive issues, then like the proverbial canary in the coal mine, your lips are a visual callout. If a glance in the mirror shows wan mouth corners or overall lip color, that’s an invitation to upgrade your diet and/or take targeted digestive aids. You’ll find basic directions at Clear Up Your Complexion. If you’d like help, it will be my pleasure to offer it in a Face Reading Report.
