Causes and treatment of wrinkles around the mouth

Lines and wrinkles around the lips can appear prematurely as a result of an unbalanced lifestyle, neglect of facial skin care, and smoking. What are the best cosmetic solutions and ingredients to treat and reduce their appearance?

The skin loses its natural elasticity with age as a result of the decline in collagen production, and this explains the appearance of lines and wrinkles on different areas of the face such as the forehead, the eyes and lips. Skin care experts distinguish between 3 types of wrinkles that appear around the lips: gallbladder wrinkles that appear at the corners of the lips, smokers’ wrinkles that are vertical, and wrinkles that extend from the corners of the nose towards the edges of the lips.

Exposure to pollution and ultraviolet radiation, in addition to adopting an unbalanced diet, smoking, and lack of exercise…are among the factors that damage skin cells and exacerbate wrinkles.

With age, the skin's production of melanin decreases, causing dark spots to appear and exposing the skin to allergic reactions. Therefore, the use of a sun protection cream is considered urgent, while paying attention to some areas that are often forgotten, such as: the ears, the back of the hands, the upper chest, and the circumference of the lips. As for before going to sleep, remember to remove any traces of makeup and wash the skin of the face and neck to get rid of the impurities accumulated on its surface.

What are the most effective anti-wrinkle?

To delay the appearance of wrinkles around the lips, avoid using harsh care products on the skin, and use a cleanser that is gentle on the skin, then moisturize the skin with a rich cream that is free of perfumes and alcohol. After the age of fifty, skin and hair become more dry, so it is recommended to moisturize both from the inside and the outside by adopting a healthy diet and a cosmetic care routine that meets the needs and requirements of the skin. And psychological stress is one of the factors that accelerate the appearance of wrinkles, so it is recommended to allocate time for relaxation and self-care at least once a week.

Modern cosmetology offers different possibilities and solutions for all skin problems. Research in this field has been able to provide highly advanced creams and serums that provide solutions to wrinkles around the lips thanks to the use of ingredients including: hyaluronic acid, retinol, and niacinamide. They are powerful ingredients that are found in a wide range of care products available at various prices.

6 ingredients that smooth out lip wrinkles:

These ingredients have proven effective in treating wrinkles around the lips and delaying their appearance, so look for them in the cosmetic creams and serums that you use:

• Retinol: It is a vitamin A derivative known for its youth-promoting properties. This anti-wrinkle ingredient is very effective in combating the signs of aging, as it helps to regenerate cells, but its effect is accompanied by peeling of the skin and the loss of its outer layer, which exposes it to allergic reactions. Therefore, it is recommended to try it in a small amount on the skin before including it in the cosmetic care routine.

• Hyaluronic Acid: It is a natural component found in the skin in order to ensure the preservation of its moisture, but its percentage decreases with age. In the cosmetic field, injections of hyaluronic acid are currently available, which work to fill wrinkles and treat dark circles, as well as enhance lip plumpness and reshape the face. The effect of these injections lasts about 6 months, and their application must be done by specialized doctors in order to avoid any complications in this field. Hyaluronic acid is also available in serums and moisturizing creams that contribute to delaying the manifestations of skin aging.

• Niacinamide: It is one of the three types of vitamin B3. This vitamin works to fight skin aging by maintaining its moisture in addition to smoothing lines and wrinkles.

• Resveratrol: It is one of the polyphenols of the “stilbin” class. It is extracted from grapes and berries and is also found in pistachios. It is a powerful antioxidant that fights cell aging.
• Vitamin C: It is an effective ingredient that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles if used starting from the age of fifty. One of its most prominent properties is its ability to activate the collagen production mechanism in the body, with the aim of increasing skin firmness and reducing wrinkles.

• Copper peptides: These are molecular active ingredients that are produced by the body and are made up of amino acids. Copper peptides are known for their anti-wrinkle properties, and they work in the formation of proteins (collagen) to activate skin elasticity and firmness, in addition to maintaining its balance and youthfulness for as long as possible.
