🌿💋 Why Do My Lips Turn Purple from Smoking?💋🌿
Alright, fellow Gazz enthusiasts, let's talk about a common (and annoying) side effect of enjoying our favorite green: purple lips. We love our premium cannabis strains, but the lip discoloration? Not so much. If you've ever looked in the mirror after a sesh and thought you were turning into a grape, this one's for you.
Why Do Lips Turn Purple from Smoking?
1. Blood Vessel Constriction: When you smoke, the nicotine and other chemicals can cause blood vessels in your lips to constrict. This reduces blood flow, leading to that lovely purple hue.
2. Dehydration: Smoking can dehydrate your skin, including your lips. Dehydrated lips are more prone to discoloration.
3. Temperature Changes: The heat from smoking can affect the delicate skin on your lips, leading to changes in color.
What Makes It Worse?
- Cold Weather: Just like your hands and feet, your lips are susceptible to turning purple when exposed to cold temperatures.
- Frequent Smoking: The more you smoke, the more you expose your lips to these conditions, increasing the likelihood of discoloration.
- Lack of Lip Care: Neglecting your lips can make the problem worse. Dry, chapped lips are more prone to turning purple.
What Makes It Better?
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water to keep your lips and skin hydrated.
- Lip Balm: Use a good quality lip balm regularly to keep your lips moisturized.
- Lip Scrub: Exfoliate your lips to remove dead skin cells and improve circulation.
