How to Prevent Lip Lines

Knowing a few basic tips about how to prevent lip lines is a protective measure that saves your self esteem. Without plastic surgery, lip furrowing is not reversible; however, the way you take care of your skin decelerates the development of fine lines around the mouth. Lip wrinkles form as the skin surrounding the mouth loses its suppleness. Smoking is a factor in this problem and so is age. With a little attention, make your lips appear smoother with less noticeable lines. Find out how to stop the creasing around your lips with an everyday skin care regimen.

1. First: Exfoliate the area

   Apply a facial scrub to your bare lips and the area around your mouth for exfoliation. Use your fingertips to massage the facial scrub into your lips to get rid of dead skin cells. Leave it on the area for a minute, then rinse off gently with cool water. Blot your lips with a soft towel and repeat this process once per week to keep your mouth and the skin around it healthy and smooth.

2. Second: Lip balm with antioxidants

   Use a lip balm containing antioxidants as they promote the production of new collagen, which is required for tighter skin. Apply this balm two times per day to fight an increase in lines around the mouth.

3. Third: Lipstick with sunscreen

   Wear lipstick containing a sunscreen when you are doing activities outside. Check the tube for SPF, and choose a high level of protection.

4. Fourth: Use wrinkle filler

   Apply a wrinkle filler to the existing lines prior to putting on any makeup, such as a primer. This conceals lip lines and averts additional wrinkling.
