What You Will Need Your lips are exposed to different substances, pollution and a lot of bacteria. Eating is one of the many ways where you can get your lips exposed to substances, like cigarette smoking. Your lips are as delicate as your neck because the layer of your lips’ skin is thin. Wrinkles start forming when the skin gets thinner. Your lips’ skin becomes thinner as you age through the loss of collagen. Collagen plumps up and fills in the spaces that cause wrinkles, making your lip wrinkles less visible and noticeable. It counteracts all the free radicals that you may have in your system, waiting to destroy your skin.

Your lips contain natural balm that also adds to the creation of wrinkles when it is lost. This natural balm in your lips it a combination of the water and oil levels your lips contain. Balm is lost in the same way collagen is through exposure to toxins and extreme conditions. It is vital that your lips receive excellent care because lip wrinkles can add a great deal of age to your face. You can do this by first consuming the proper amount of water each day. Also apply a face moisturizer that is extra hydrating. Often these will moisturize you lips better than something made for lips.

Lip wrinkles are not simply going to go away because you get hydrated. You will also need to make some lifestyle changes. You need to be sure to stop smoking and avoid situation where others are smoking. Even second hand smoke can lead to wrinkle on your lips as well as the rest of you face because the toxins in them deplete your skin of moisture.

You should avoid the sun directly on your face as much as possible. The suns rays will damage the cells of your skin and destroy the collagen in your lips. The can lead to sever wrinkles. Sun damage is not something you always see right away and can strike quickly. One year you can look fine and then it hits you so you look like you have aged five years only it has been one. If you can not avoid the sun all together use the highest SPF suntan lotion you can or there are lip balms with SPF in them already.

You also need to exfoliate you lips just like you do the rest of you face. By scrubbing your lips you will removed the dead skin cells to stimulate the growth of new ones. New cells will looks smoother and this will reduce the appearance of you wrinkles. After exfoliation remember to re moisturize with a cream or lip balm. A lip balm or chap stick made for severely chapped lips works best. Also apply it very liberally at night and then in the morning after you showers to lock in moisture.
