Sunscreen should be worn everyday that has an SPF of at least 15 but rea lly the sun should be avoid as much as you can especially during the hottest parts of the day. Doing do will not only lower your risk for getting wrinkles but skin cancer as well. It may feel good to some people to lay in the sun but the UV rays you are soaking up are not relaxing, they are actually damaging your skin through radiation. They will deplete your skin of all it needs to remain firm and young looking. Both collagen and elastin are destroyed by the rays of the sun all the way down to the lower layers.
Some studies have shown that sleeping your back may help to reduce wrinkles on your face including your lips. The sleep lines you get when you sleep on your stomach are caused by your face being pressed against the pillow. These creases over time can develop into permanent wrinkles. Men will see this kind of damage mostly on the side of their forehead and women on their cheek. For both it depends on which side they sleep on. Most of us can not control what we do after we are asleep but if we can train ourselves to sleep on our backs there may be fewer wrinkles on our faces in the morning.
Do not smoke. There is not way around it, one of the biggest contributers to lip wrinkles is smoking. Not only because of the repetitive muscle movement needed to take and exhale each puff but also because of the cloud of smoke that is constantly surrounding your lips. There are toxins in this smoke that dehydrate you skin and lead to the loss of collagen.
Using moisturizers on a daily basis can do a great deal to prevent lip wrinkles. The moisture makes your lips fullers and the plumpness makes the wrinkles less apparent and less likely to form. Since they are not permanent it is recommended the you use them at least twice a day, in the morning with and SPF to protect you for the day and a heavier cream at night.
Paying attention to the way our face moves as we make expressions can cut down on lip wrinkles. If you take some time and observe yourself as you talk in a mirror you will begin to see what movements that are making your wrinkles appear. Once armed with this knowledge you can do what you can to avoid those repetitive movements. The key is to just have your face as relaxed as possible at all times.
