Wrinkle lips – what are the causes behind their development? There are several causes behind the wrinkle lips, and some of these causes can be avoided, while others cannot.

The causes of skin aging that cannot be eliminated are natural internal aging of the body and the gravity of the earth.

Natural aging results in many changes in the skin and the body, which causes people to start to develop wrinkles. These changes include: reduction of the elastin and collagen in the body and the skin, loss of the underlying fat in the skin, and loss of bone tissues. To date, there is nothing that we can do to slow down the aging processes, other than leading a healthy lifestyle.

The next culprit that cannot be avoided is Earth gravity. Every object and every living being on Earth is naturally subjected to the forces of attraction, “pulling” us towards Earth. The sad fact is that the Earth “pulls” every part of our bodies down, including the organs and the skin. The worst effects are posed to certain parts of the face, including the earlobes, the tip of the nose, and the lips (the upper lip becomes smaller, and the lower lip elongates). There is nothing that can be done against this culprit of wrinkle lips, except for starting to live in a space shuttle with no gravitational forces present inside of the shuttle.

Next, there are the causes of the wrinkle lips, which can be avoided. These include smoking and sun exposure.

Smoking is a very hard to break habit, but quitting smoking will result in a rather fast improvement of the wrinkles, as well as the improvement of the overall state of the skin. Cigarette smoke contains tar and thousand of other toxic chemicals, as well as smoking will cause a person’s mouth to form the same set of wrinkles around it, over and over again. All of these effects of smoking may be improved rather fast, by quitting smoking.

The sun is another aging factor that can be avoided. The consequences of the constant exposure to the sun can also lay concealed for years without showing, and can be found even in children and teens, which are commonly exposed to the sun. You can easily protect yourself from the sun, by applying a sunscreen prior to going out (SPF 15 or more), reapplying the sunscreen after you swim or sweat, and avoid staying in the sun between 10am – 4pm.

Lip wrinkles may make a person appear older than they really are. The advice is not to worry about the inevitable causes of the wrinkles, and to try to avoid the causes of the wrinkles that can be averted.
