lip wrinkles

Poodlehorse · 30/07/2010 11:26

anyone out there know what to do about my lip wrinkles? well the bit between your nose and your lips. DH has made comment before and been told where to go but they do bother me as I think they are getting quite bad and I am only 38 and other than this quite young looking. But the other day a friend took great delight in pointing them out over coffee, she sort of made this face so now I am totally paranoid about them.I have been moisturising like crazy, I do have a thinner top lip, I don't smoke but that is what it looks like, smoker's lines or as DH puts it "like a cat's " Friend said she had never noticed before but just the lighting in the coffee shop hit me wrong and once she noticed it a bit she had a right good look I think. You get lip products but they are for your actual lips aren't they? Anyone know what kind of product or treatment would sort this out?

Derma filler such as juvaderm would be okay though it is expensive and not permanent. It is also a bit painful.

just going to keep moisturising like a mad woman I guess until I eithre learn to live with them or cave and go for Juvaderm, I am a bit of a coward though.

I've got a couple of them too (am 40). I think it's because I'm always chewing the inside of my lip which scrunches my mouth up all the time. I bought some glycolic acid on eBay, but am too scared to use it.

I use this on my lips and the skin just round them.
Not sure if its because of this, but I have very smooth lips and no wrinkles around them

You could try one of the L'Oreal products tha t are for filling in wrinkles. It's like a pen . Otherwise soemthing like Boots Pure and Protect.
Failing that- injectible fillers.

I've got the same issue. They are the only real lines on my face. Probably because I'm an ex smoker...
I use Touche Éclat, lightly dabbed and patted with my finger which disguises them very well.
I have also just started with retinol (prescription strength from Spain...). I'm hoping it will help.

The injections are not that painful, and have anaesthetic included
You will be very pleased with the results i am sure.and doesnt take very long
