Dark spots on the upper lip can be embarrassing, especially for women because it can create the appearance of hair. Such discoloration is normally caused by sun damage, and the brown spots are called sun, age, or liver spots. Discoloration on the upper lip also can be caused by hormonal changes or repeated use of bleaching or waxing products made to lighten or remove hair on the upper lip. If you suspect the spots are the result of hormonal changes, visit your doctor; otherwise, treat the discoloration at home with all-natural products.

Step 1

Cut a slice of lemon, cucumber, or papaya and rub the flesh over the dark spots on your upper lip. All of these are known for their natural skin-bleaching abilities.

Step 2

Allow the juice to sit on the skin for 10 minutes, then rinse with cool water.

Step 3

Repeat twice daily for four to eight weeks or until skin has lightened.
