Not feelin' the lip love

I noticed that my upper lip is kind of tannish and not pink. It's a different color than my lower lip. Is this normal?

 

Everyone has a natural lip color, and as you’ve probably noticed, sometimes it has absolutely nothing to do with your normal skin color. One girl with pale skin can have equally pale pink lips. Another’s lips can be a deep red sans lipstick. It’s also quite natural and common for your lips to be different colors among a similar spectrum—tan and pink shouldn’t be anything to worry about, but if you are a bit freaked out, give your doc a call.

 

Because the skin covering our lips is quite thin, sudden changes in lip color can illustrate your health. If your lips dramatically change color, get yourself to the doctor for a quick check-up, just to make sure everything’s OK.

 

Still not satisfied? If the color difference between your upper and lower lips is really bothering you, try an all-natural lip stain to even them out, or get into the habit of swiping on a light pink gloss. Easy as pie!

Okay, my Knee-ish area has a DITCH in the skin and it's kinda CREEPY! I can't get rid of it! HELP!

 

Hey girl,

 

Without knowing the problem, I can't give you an answer on this. Talk to your parents, school nurse or a doc because they'll have an answer for you!

mod mod mod,
I have been having discharges for a while now and I wanna be ready for when I get my period but too bad I dont know when its gonna come. So I am just wondering, how long do discharges last for?
xoxo Andrea





Hey Andrea,

Discharge could appear anywhere from 6 months to 2 years before your first period. (And it doesn't go away after your first one starts - you'll have discharge in varying amounts forever, pretty much.) Unfortunately that is a WIDE range of time, so it's impossible to guarantee when you'll get your period. Instead of trying to pinpoint it, just be prepared with a pad in your bag at all times. It might catch ya off guard, but don't panic! You'll get used to it ASAP <3

Is there any way to get rid of, make smaller, or lighten freckles?
Thanks!


Hey girly, I don't think you can get rid of freckles but you can lighten or hide the appearance of them. If you apply concealer, foundation or powder on top of your freckles you won't be able to see them. Smile Smile

I am 11 and i have never really gotten pimples. I just got a really huge one on my cheek!! What does this mean??? Thanks!!!




Hey Doll,

Pimples are one of the downsides of puberty, and now that you have one, it means that you are on you are starting puberty! Your body is changing, and pimples are one way that shows. Check out this post for how to get rid of 'em!
