Lip Wrinkles

Many people believe that lip wrinkles make you look older than wrinkles around the eyes. Of course, many people believe that any wrinkle makes you look old. But people do watch our lips at least as often as they watch our eyes. The lips are often in motion, and so much information is conveyed by the small muscle movements that create a smile, a pout, the thoughtful pursed lips or a knowing smirk.

The very thin skin of our lips is more susceptible to sun, wind and smoke than other parts of our body. Lip wrinkles, if only temporary, quickly form when the lips dry out. As we age, our natural moisturizers are reduced and more permanent lip wrinkles form. Artificial moisturizers, often found in cosmetics, keep the lips moist, but as we get older we won’t notice that the natural moisturizers are disappearing. If we stop using the artificial moisturizers, we begin to notice lip wrinkles.

Lip wrinkles often take the form of vertical lines above the upper lip. These upper lip wrinkles are the ones that people associate with aging. Basically, their direct cause is the same as for most wrinkles: habitual muscle movement such as puckering to smoke a cigarette, or blowing on a musical instrument.
