There are natural substances in the body of a human (collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, and some others), which naturally keep our skin looking good and wrinkle-free. As we age, these essential proteins and acids decrease, making our skin thinner and much less elastic – producing wrinkles. Why are particularly our lips (the upper lip in particular) so prone to developing wrinkles? The reason behind this is that lips have a naturally thin outer layer of skin, and this thin layer becomes even thinner with age.

There are some environmental factors that also decrease the essential acids and proteins, causing our lips to age even faster. These factors include: stress, sunlight, pollution, and smoking. The main causes for the forming of an upper lip wrinkle and losing lip volume are:

-Decreasing levels of elastin, collagen, and hyaluronic acid
-UV light exposure
-Gravity
-Environment toxins
-Smoking

The good thing is that there are some ways that will help you to prevent premature skin aging and to maintain a healthier skin for longer.

Taking Multivitamins, anti-oxidants, drinking 1.5-2 liters of water every day to keep the body hydrated, protecting yourself from UV light, eating healthy and exercising regularly are just a few things that you can do in order to prevent premature skin aging and to have a healthier skin for longer.

Aging is a totally natural process, which means that you can slow it down, but you cannot stop it. At some point aging will show up around the mouth, on the forehead, on our hands, etc. However, there are still things to do in order to maintain good looks. There are injectable dermal fillers for the correction of the contours of the upper or lower lip in order to improve lip definition.

Furthermore, the volume of the lips can also be improved by creating fuller lips. This can be achieved with collagen lip filler injections that would help your lips and the upper lip wrinkle. You should consult one or a few dermatologists prior to any such procedure, in order to make the best decision.

There are also anti wrinkle creams (L’Oreal, Yves Saint Laurent, etc.), which may serve you as a preventive measure to slow down the wrinkle development, as well as to help you smooth down an existing upper lip wrinkle. The anti wrinkle creams work by hydrating the skin, increasing the production of the essential proteins and acids, and thus making your skin look younger and reducing the wrinkles.
