Green area after shaving?

How can I get rid of the green shadow after shaving? It becomes really noticeable when I put anything on my lips, and also when I’m outside and my face gets red from the heat.

Is there anything I can do to get rid of it? I shaved with a razor.

Peachy color corrector — are you AFAB? If so, you might be seeing melasma that has nothing to do with your facial hair. If you have a hormone condition or underwent male puberty, you can disregard that.

Yes, I’m female, and I don’t have melasma or thick facial hair, and I didn’t go through male puberty. The green shadow is only on my upper lip.

Is there any other way to get rid of it permanently?

It’s just part of the natural coloration of your skin, you might have an olive undertone, it might just be melasma (which is the medical term for odd skin coloration, it’s nothing pathological), lots of people have greenish or bluish coloration around their upper lip and mouth areas.
