Melasma. I have the 'stache plus the "v" on my forehead and darker freckle circles under my eyes. Adorable. My sister has the same thing and neither of us have had a baby. We've done extensive research and the only solution has been a good concealer. And avoiding flash pictures in bright sun in the daytime. My honeymoon pictures look like the hubs married Tom Selleck.

I am going to try the philosophy product recommended by Jen. I have also read that the upper lip darkness can come from waxing or bleaching … although the hormone theory sounds more plausible to me.

Do you know of anything that gets rid of it? There is also a curious "v" shape on my forehead, which is sort of superhero-esque, but the upper lip thing just looks moustachy.

Nice on chapped lips, red noses etc ...and works wonders on blemishes and dry cuticles! You can find it for about 6 bucks at SEPHORA! :D Another AMAZING product that takes redness away and was the ONLY thing (Burts Bees was suggested to us at the pharmacy and never worked) that healed my daughter during last winter’s cold weather was Smith’s Rosebud Salve — the best all around product EVER that I have tried.

I bought some Burt's Bees "tinted lip gloss" once - note "once" - during the winter when my lips were chapped. I used it one time and couldn't get it into the trash fast enough. Peppermint/eucalyptus/menthol in a product to soothe inflamed skin? Didn't work for me. That was a shame too, because I liked the tint. I won't buy any more, though, until I check the ingredients list. I have to agree with frannie (#4 above).
