7 Steps to Get Rid of Lip Wrinkles

by

Soft lines on the lips can start to appear even when you are still in your 20s. These are called perioral wrinkles which are unattractive. This is usually the first sign of aging that is displayed on the face. The good news is that there are some ways you can get rid of this problem. You can also prevent them from reappearing with just a simple adjustment to your daily skincare routine. Here is a simple step-by-step guide on how to diminish lip wrinkles.

1. Exfoliate them

LIp exfoliation can instantly get rid of minor wrinkles. You can buy exfoliation products or make your natural formulation with some sugar (brown or white) and a little bit of honey. Use it to rub them gently with your fingertips. This will help in removing dead skin cells and allow healthy new skin cells to become visible making them younger-looking and reducing the appearance wrinkles.

2. Apply Lip Balm Regularly

You need to keep them moisturized throughout the day to prevent drying and help reduce the visibility of wrinkles. You can use petroleum jelly if you’re not sensitive to it but a good lip balm or moisturizer is worth spending a few dollars for.

You don’t need something very expensive and even a lip balm from your local drugstore can be as effective as branded one costing upwards of $20. There are also plumping formulations that can make your lips plumper fast. Choosing the best lip plumpers is not easy since there are hundreds or even thousands of products available on the market. A little research and some trial and error will help you find the best one for you.

3. Protection

A good lip balm also offers sun protection factor of at least 15 which helps slow down the aging process. This prevents the premature appearance wrinkles. There are also products that offer antioxidant protection which further helps in slowing down the aging process. As much as possible, you should minimize sun exposure especially if you suffer from severe lip wrinkles. You can also try wearing a hat or use an umbrella to protect them from the sun.

4. Stay Hydrated

You don’t just need to keep them moisturized, but you also have to keep your body hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids. Having dry lips is one of the first symptoms of dehydration. Keeping yourself well-hydrated especially when you sweat a lot due to the weather or physical activity can help reduce the severity wrinkles. This will also contribute to slow down the aging process and prevent the further development these wrinkles.

5. Stop Smoking

Smoking is one of the most dangerous habits you can have. It has a negative impact on blood flow which is the primary reason it is bad for your skin. It is also one of the leading causes of severe, ugly wrinkles. Just look at any long-time smoker and there is a good chance that their lips are dry, stained and full of wrinkles. Tar and other chemicals can build-up to give it a horrid appearance. Just get rid of the nasty habit and your body (including your lips) will thank you for it.

6. Massage them

Massage them regularly if you want to diminish lip wrinkles quickly. You should massage your whole face too. This enhances blood circulation and helps tighten the muscles around the mouth. It can also help prevent premature skin aging and slow down the skin (and lip) aging process.

Use some petroleum jelly or any good balm when massaging them, moisturize the area thoroughly and help reduce the visibility of wrinkles.

7. Lip Procedures

If you have very severe lip wrinkles and want significant results fast, there is always the option of undergoing enhancement procedures. Minor procedures like injections and laser treatments can be an effective way to get rid of severe wrinkles quickly.

The only problem is the high cost of these procedures which can reach thousands of dollars. If you want a pain-free and affordable solution, then you should just look for a good lip plumping product. Careful research will point you in the right direction and help you find a product that is both safe and effective.
