The Ageing of Lips

A symbol of femininity, defined and plump lips can be a true asset of seduction. Younger looking lips means a younger looking face and a gorgeous, confident smile can’t fail to win hearts. Although lips are essential part of your face, one often fails to give them the attention and the care which they deserve. Lips are a delicate area of the face and are subject to the signs of ageing.

Over time, collagen fibres break down and weaken. Here we describe the key signs of collagen weakening. First, the skin of the lip contour thins, wrinkles and fine lines develop. Fine feathery lines on your lips and in the skin around your mouth grab attention so your lipline is less defined. As we age, the definition of what was once a perfect cupid’s bow becomes blurred.

Furrow appears at each end of the mouth which can make your smile less friendly. The shape of the mouth flattens. The upper lip sinks and the vertical wrinkles at the top of the mouth deepen. Definition of the lips becomes less clear. Other factors also can contribute to the changes caused by the natural ageing process, such as the exposure to UV rays or smoking. These factors worsen the signs of ageing.
