As we age, our skin and hair change. White hair takes up residence on your head, brown spots can become visible and fine lines and wrinkles appear. Although these phenomena are completely normal and many women decide to accept the signs of aging, they can also represent a real complex for others. Fortunately, there are good reflexes and products to delay the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. In particular, it is strongly recommended to protect your skin from the sun, avoiding exposure to ultraviolet rays and applying sunscreen daily or even applying vitamin C to promote collagen regeneration.
Wrinkles on the forehead, “crow’s feet”, marionette lines, smoker’s lines… There is a wide variety of wrinkles and fine lines that form on different areas of the face. Among them, there are some that tend to happen more quickly than others, those around the eyes or even above the lips. The skin is more sensitive in this area, so it is not abnormal that it marks more quickly. If many anti-aging treatments exist on the market to delay their appearance, what can be done to reduce those that are already present? In the British version of Cosmopolitan*Dr. Howard Murad, dermatologist, gave a simple tip to achieve this: exfoliation.
Wrinkles around the mouth: how to reduce wrinkles and fine lines above the lips naturally?
To remain beautiful, the skin needs to renew itself. In fact, new skin cells allow it to have a smoother, plumper appearancewhere dead cells will make it duller and prone to wrinkles, while increasing the risk of acne, explains the dermatologist.
If the cell renewal process takes place naturally in about a month, the latter decreases over the years. So, it is appropriate to give your skin a little boost by exfoliating it. “Proper exfoliation removes the barrier of clogging dead skin cells and uncovers new, fresh cells underneath“, explains the expert. To do it right, choose a chemical exfoliant, adapted to your skin type and use it once or twice a week above the lips, depending on how your skin reacts.
Asked about wrinkles around the lips in the columns of MindBodyGreen**Dr Hadley King, an American dermatologist, added that“gentle exfoliation using alpha hydroxy acids may be helpful”because they are both exfoliating and hydrating.
Smile lines, lip contours, lower face… What can you do to prevent makeup from running into the folds?
If you are in the habit of wearing makeup on your lips, you may be looking to avoid accentuating these fine lines and preventing them from creeping into the folds. On TikTok, makeup artist @frenchtouchofmakeup revealed her unstoppable trick. For this you will need an extra-flat brush and a compact powder. Take a little powder on the tip of the brush, then apply it around the mouth. This reproduces the “baking” technique which allows makeup to hold better. In fact, if it doesn’t move, it won’t get into your fine lines.
