Fine, or deep set lines on the face is not a pretty sight to look at, especially when they are on the lips. Wrinkles around the lips give out the signs of ageing and make you look older than you actually may be. They are a tough nut to crack as they do not disappear easily. Moreover, they do not let the lips look good in lipstick and encourage feathering!So here are  some techniques that will help you get rid of wrinkles easily and effectively.

First thing’s first; always moisturize your lips and make this as a daily routine. If you maintain soft, plump-with-moisture lips, wrinkles will be a thing of the past! Because dry chapped lips are the root of wrinkles there. it is hence essential to keep your lips hydrated throughout the day, and this may take several applications of your favorite lip balm or petroleum jelly.

The skin on the lips is thin, delicate and requires utmost care, but exfoliating it is also a must too. Take care in doing this, and use an old toothbrush to rub the lips gently in a circular motion. Rinse with lukewarm water and reveal softer lips after applying petroleum jelly.

For a home-made scrub for your lips, take a bit of sugar, baking soda, cornmeal and a dab of your favorite lip balm and mix together. Apply on the lips and rub across them gently. Rinse later for a kissable pout!

Be careful of consuming certain things that will irritate chapped lips, like alcohol, spicy food, orange juice. Stuff like pepper and mustard too can aggravate broken skin on the lips, which can increase chances of wrinkles.

So be careful from an early age, and wrinkles won’t stand a chance! Always carry a good lip balm and apply whenever you feel that the lips need moisture. Medicated lip balms and those with SPF should be used for extreme cases of scaly skin on the lips.
