Lips are one of the most animated parts of a human face, following the eyes. When we talk, our listener’s eyes are constantly concentrated on our eyes or our lips. Healthy lips look fresh and firm, and if such an important part of the humans’ face becomes pale and wrinkled, it may lower the overall impression that is perceived by the viewers. Moreover, wrinkled and pale lips may often lower the self-esteem of the host. It is, therefore, extremely important that one takes good care of their lips.

Lip line wrinkles start as small horizontal and vertical lines on and around the lips. As the time progresses, these lines increase in size, depth and number. The fact is that there are preventable and non-preventable reasons for the development of the lip line wrinkles.

The inevitable reasons include aging, Earth gravity, and sun/wind exposure for the people who live in sunny and windy or cold and windy areas. The aging wrinkles cannot be prevented, and these wrinkles generally start to show after the age of 30-40 years old, but they actually start to develop around the mid 20s. There’s also nothing we can do about the gravitational forces, as well as moving to another area might not be the most practical idea for lip wrinkles management.

What about preventable factors of the lip line wrinkle development? Preventable reasons include: smoking, sleeping on your stomach or your side, and vivid facial expressions. For instance, one of the main preventable reasons for the formation of the lip line wrinkles is excessive smoking. Scientists say that anyone who smokes over 10 cigarettes per day for over 10 years will start showing the consequential signs, including wrinkles and an unhealthy yellowish color of their lips. If you manage to eliminate the preventable culprits (smoking, vivid facial expressions, sleeping on your stomach or the side, etc.), you will be able to sufficiently slow down the process of the wrinkle development.

What else can be done to slow down the process of the wrinkles’ development? The cheapest and the most natural solution for lip wrinkles is the use of anti-wrinkle lip creams. However, this tends to work well only in the beginning stages, as well as it’s a rather lengthy process that may take weeks or months. If the creams are not an option, as well as if you need a fast fix, then the fastest and the easiest way to fix the problem is with the aid of surgical solutions, including: injectable fillers, radio frequency procedures, dermabrasion, and others. The disadvantages of the surgical methods are their high cost and dangerous side-effects.
