With light skin color, the lip skin contains fewer <a href="/wiki/Melanocytes" class="mw-redirect" title="Melanocytes">melanocytes</a> (cells which produce melanin <a href="/wiki/Pigment" title="Pigment">pigment</a>, which give skin its color). Because of this, the <a href="/wiki/Blood_vessel" title="Blood vessel">blood vessels</a> appear through the skin of the lips, which leads to their notable red coloring. With darker skin color this effect is less prominent, as in this case the skin of the lips contains more melanin and thus is visually darker. The skin of the lip forms the border between the exterior skin of the face, and the interior <a href="/wiki/Mucous_membrane" title="Mucous membrane">mucous membrane</a> of the inside of the mouth. </p><p>The lip skin is not hairy and does not have <a href="/wiki/Sweat_gland" title="Sweat gland">sweat glands</a>. Therefore, it does not have the usual protection layer of sweat and body oils which keep the skin smooth, inhibit pathogens, and regulate warmth. For these reasons, the lips dry out faster and become <a href="/wiki/Chapped" class="mw-redirect" title="Chapped">chapped</a> more easily. </p><p>The lower lip is formed from the <a href="/wiki/Mandibular_prominence" title="Mandibular prominence">mandibular prominence</a>, a branch of the <a href="/wiki/First_pharyngeal_arch" class="mw-redirect" title="First pharyngeal arch">first pharyngeal arch</a>.
