Wrinkles are fine lines in your face that are caused by a lot of factors like natural aging, dehydration, smoking and too much exposure to sunlight.  If the skin is withered and damage, the skin’s natural rubbercollagen and elastin will regenerate causing the skin to loose and creases will start forming.

Compare to the other part of the face where wrinkles form, lip wrinkles are easier to manage and disappear more quickly.  Here are some of the skin care tips to remove lip wrinkles.

Exfoliate. Before putting anything in your face, make sure that your skin is ready to absorb it. Exfoliating twice a week remove dead skin cells and promotes skin renewal.  Moisturizers and serum are easily absorbed by the skin if dead skin cells are removed from the top layer.

Choose your products carefully. Choose a product that contains AHA (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids), tretinoin and retinol. These products promote collagen regeneration.  They also contain antioxidants that help fight free radicals.  If your skin is sensitive, try doing a spot test first before using these products.

Avoid too much exposure to sunlight. Sunlight has its benefits like it utilizes Vitamin D in our body and when exposed in moderation promotes vigor and releases toxins through sweat, but it can also be harmful to your skin. If you can, avoid exposing yourself in the sun between 10am to 3pm. And if you can’t avoid it, use a sunscreen lotion or cream that has a high SPF content. This will minimize the effect of harmful rays in your skin.

Refrain from Smoking. Cigarette contains nicotine which is like the exact opposite of collagen, it promotes cell aging. So if you are a smoker, you must quit from this habit because it add more lines to your lip area making you look older than your age. Second hand smoke has the same effect of pollution; it makes your skin tired-looking.

Eat healthy. Have your daily dose of fruits and vegetables. They nourish both your skin and body. Eat foods that contain Vitamins A, C, E. they contain high levels of antioxidants.

Include fish oil in your diet. Studies show that fish oil strengthens your skin’s elasticity. The effect may be slow but at least it is natural.

Rehydrate. Commit in drinking at least 8 glasses of water daily. Water rehydrates your cells and has invigorating effect. For younger people, dehydration is the major cause of lip wrinkles. A lot of nutritionist will agree that water therapy really works.

If everything else fails, you can consult your dermatologist in getting wrinkle fillers. It may remove your lip wrinkles instantly but it is very expensive.
