THINNING SKIN. As we age, skin doesn’t rejuvenate as well as it used to. Reducing the damage with anti aging skin actives while protecting the skin with antioxidants and sunscreen will give you the tools you need to keep skin around lips healthy and plumper.
REDUCED COLLAGEN PRODUCTION. Our bodies slow down the production of collagen around 25 years old and continues to decline as the years go on. The great news is that there are proven active ingredients that are plant derived, that can help increase the production of collagen. Incorporating those ingredients and products into your routine is going to be the key to warding off and getting rid of wrinkles on the lips and around the mouth.
LOSS OF ELASTIN. Elastin is a protein within the skin that allows the skin to stretch, while holding the connective tissue together. As with collagen the elastin our bodies produce and maintain starts to diminish. As with collagen, there are active ingredients to help maintain this protein to perform optimally and keep this skin around the mouth healthier.
SUN DAMAGE. Sun damage has a way of sneaking up on us, even when we’re only in the sun for a few minutes a day over a period of time. There are products and techniques to reduce sun damage, and it’s never too late to start wearing a mineral sunscreen.
What Ingredients Help Get Rid of Wrinkles on Lips?
There are some active ingredients that are fantastic for reducing wrinkles on lips and around mouth. Here are several we highly recommend:
Vitamin C: Known to prevent aging of the skin and also to repair damage. Studies show that individuals who used vitamin c in their skin care experienced an 80% improvement in prevention and repair of existing damage.
RETINOL. Increases collagen production. Retinol is vitamin A which is a natural ingredient, not to be confused with the prescription drug Retin-A. Retinol has been proven to be effective in anti aging of skin care.
ALPHA HYDROXY ACID (AHA): Alpha hydroxy acids can greatly benefit the skin by exfoliating layers of the skin to remove hyperpigmentation, the signs of aging, and helps keep pores unclogged which can lead to less breakouts and clearer skin.
COENZYME Q10: Also known as ubiquinone, is plant derived and excellent for encouraging significant collagen production.
PEPTIDES: Peptides can help synthesize new collagen and help skin fight the signs of aging. When products with peptides are applied to the skin, it causes skin cells to build collagen and elastin, which is something that slows down as we age.
NIACINAMIDE: Improves skin color, decreases inflammation, improves blotchiness, and can lighten skin per the National Library of Medicine.
LICORICE ROOT EXTRACT: Has been used as an Aryuvedic remedy, is a strong antioxidant, and aids in lightening, toning, firming, and cellulite reduction.
HYALURONIC ACID: Has the incredible ability to hydrate and repair skin. Hyaluronic Acid can reduce fine lines and wrinkles, help skin retain moisture, and create a plumping effect. When the skin is properly hydrated, increased skin cell production can occur, since the skin isn't spending it's energy on fighting dehydration.
VITAMIN E: Protects the skin membrane and can prevent the signs aging, an anti-inflammatory agent in the skin, as several studies have supported its prevention of inflammatory damage after UV exposure.
GREEN TEA EXTRACT: Can decrease the risk of skin cancer and alleviates water retention in skin. Great for firming and toning. Anti-viral and anti-bacterial.
