Thin Lips & Lips Lines
Thin lips and lip lines, when attributed to ageing, often go hand in hand. Like the rest of the face, changes in the lips are a natural part of growing older, experiencing volume loss and wrinkles both on and around the mouth. The small vertical lines that appear around the lips are typically caused by repeated movements such as talking, kissing and smoking, earning them the more affectionate term ‘lipstick lines’ or ‘smokers lines’.
As the collagen and elastin production in the skin begins to deplete, the volume in this area decreases, and the skin surrounding the lips becomes less effective at ‘bouncing back’. Repeated movements leads to tiny visible lines in the skin as it settles into the grooves that form in the underlying structure.
