Smokers Lines
Smokers Lines are not necessarily caused by smoking, although repetitive pursing of the lips can exaggerate them and smoking can affect the production of collagen, meaning a loss in volume and the skin can look thinner. They typically start on the upper lip edge and creep up to the nose as we age. The lip will start to naturally lose volume and deeper lines may start to be present. Other factors can influence their development such as sun damage which may increase the appearance of wrinkles and causes the skin to look thin and dehydrated.
