Does wearing lipstick drain the natural colour from your lips?

My aunt once said that children shouldn't be allowed to play with adult's lipstick because wearing it will leach out the natural pigment of their lips (I just don't like kids wearing make-up full stop) and said that this is the reason many adults have pale faded lips that need make-up all the time.





Is this an old wives' tale? If it's true, does it apply to only children's lips or adults as well? Is it only certain kinds of lipstick?Does wearing lipstick drain the natural colour from your lips?
Usually women who wear lipstick wear it all the time. When they are caught in the morning or at the gym without their lipstick or make-up it just looks funny to you because you are not used to their natural color. Nothing can take the pigment out of your skin except bleach; though most lipsticks have an SPF to help with sun exposure people who don't wear them do not have darker lips comparably, it's just an old wives tale. Hope that helps, have a great week;)Does wearing lipstick drain the natural colour from your lips?
Yes, it's a tale.





It has dyes that will temporarily stain your lips.


If someone where to wear it everyday, then they would begin to think they're natural lip color was gone...perhaps forever.


When in all truth, this is not true.





PS. They've found traces of lead in many name brand lipsticks recently. :o
No. But too much sun exposure will.
No..it won't
