Lip wrinkles are those lines (that can go from fine lines to deep wrinkles or furrows) that appear around the mouth, they are caused mostly due to aging process in which the skin looses its elasticity (collagen) and what once were lines that appeared and dissappeared with our gestures become permanent marks.

Muscle movement around the mouth, when we smile or frown, is a continous movement that also causes lip wrinkles to appear.

Even though it is a normal part of the aging process, lip wrinkles can be made worse due to several factors like smoking or living in a smoke filled environment, sun light which depletes the epidermis or top layer of the skin of water that is vital to the elasticity, so to prevent the appearance of lip wrinkles you should refrend yourself from smoking or living in a constant smoke filled environment as well as using sunblock and moisturizers so the skin around the lips stays hydrated and elastic for a longer time.

You should start treating lip wrinkles as they form, by applying antiaging creams and lotions, that also help the skin look younger and fresher, even though over the counter creams can only take you so far and will not stop the aging process completely.

Some of this antiaging creams and lotions contain anti oxidants and other ingredients like:

• Retinoids
• Vitamins (specially vitamin C and E that are good for the skin)
• Alpha Hydroxy Acids
• Polypeptides
• Plant Extracts

If you want to take more drastic measures to erase and eliminate your lip wrinkles, you can try some dermatological or surgery treatments, like peelings (chemical or mechanical) microdermabrasion, laser treatments and plastic surgery (Facelift) or lip wrinkles botox injections.

All these treatments should be supervised by a certified dermathologist or professional because side effects can be many and varied like redness, swelling, eruption etc.

Eye wrinkles and lines (also called crow´s feet) have different causes, mainly:

• Aging
• Sun damage
• Eye muscle movement
• Surgery
• Scars
• Gravity
• Smoking
• Pimples

Eye wrinkles and lines appear because the dermis (the lower layer of skin) starts getting thick irregularly, and also because the amount of water in the epidermis (top layer of the skin) starts decreasing due to damage by the sun and other toxins like smoke.

The appearance of eye wrinkles due to the aging process are caused by muscle movements, and even when you are young, you can still see where eye wrinkles will eventually appear, when you squint little and very fine wrinkles appear in the corner of your eyes, when you stop squinting the go away, these are called dynamic lines, but little by little these lines will stop going away entirely and will become “static lines” these permanent marks or eye wrinkles are the results of the process of aging, as the skin loses collagen and with it its elasticity to return to its original position, so eventually all dynamic wrinkles, become static wrinkles.

There are many different treatments for eye wrinkles. The best way is to prevent them by using moisturizers and sunblock creams or lotions, but once they are there you can use antiging creams available over the counter with different results, and if you want to try something more permanent you can try eye wrinkle laser treatments, botulinum toxin (Botox) that paralizes the muscle so dynamic lines stop appearing, plastic or esthetic surgery (commonly called as facelift) to cut the extra part of the skin and re-smooth the eye wrinkles back to its original position.

There are also collagen injections that are applied directly into the affected area, to stop the decreasing of collagen that comes normally with age, and giving elasticity back to the skin.

Wrinkles can appear in different parts of your body (and in certain age on most parts of your body) but the ones that cause the most trouble for most people are facial wrinkles, these wrinkles stay as permanent marks on your face and can make you look older than you really are (or older than you want to look).

Facial wrinkles can normally be found in the forehead, gravity and aging effects start pulling the skin down and since elasticity with age becomes less and less, we start noticing some permanent marks in the forehead area. These area can be specially affected by facial wrinkles due to long exposure to sunlight, and smoking can make the effect even worse, even though it is normal for them to appear due to muscle movement throughout our lives.

Facial wrinkles normally appear in the eye area, under the eyes and on the outside, these are mostly caused by the eye movement, blinking, and squinting to adjust your sight to bright lights, these are the most common facial wrinkles, and most women everywhere start covering them with make up around 40 years of age, this wrinkles are mostly treated with anti-aging creams, that can be bought mostly anywhere, but there are other more expensive solutions available including facial lifts.

Another area normally affected with facial wrinkles is the upper lip, and in the corner of the lips most of us (wether we notice it or not) make a lot of gestures with the mouth while talking or communicating in general like smiling or frowning constantly, these temprary movements become permanent skin marks in the form of facial wrinkles, these wrinkles can be treated with botox injections, or collagen treatments.

If you have any questions or doubts about your facial wrinkles or if you want to consider different treatments, you should seek a dermatologist opinion.
