Why Lips Age Faster — and How to Keep Them Smooth at Every Age

When it comes to signs of aging, our lips often give us away before the rest of our face. Fine lines, loss of plumpness, and dryness become more visible with time—but why do lips age so quickly, and what can we do about it?

Why Do Lips Get Lines So Easily?

1. Thin, delicate skin
The skin on our lips is up to 5-8 times thinner than the skin on the rest of the face. With fewer oil glands, lips can’t naturally stay hydrated, making them more prone to fine lines.

2. Collagen loss
Starting in our late 20s, collagen production slows down. Less collagen = lips that lose their natural volume and definition. The more years pass, the more loss of collagen we experience.

3. Lifestyle habits
Smoking, sipping through straws, environment stressors and even frequent puckering can accelerate the appearance of vertical lip lines.

5. Harsh formulas
Matte, drying lipsticks can settle into creases and make lines look deeper.

How to Keep Lips Smooth and Youthful

✨ Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate
Choose lip formulas packed with nourishing oils, butters, and antioxidants—like Mānuka honey, avocado oil, and shea butter—to lock in moisture and protect from damage.

✨ Skip the matte
Matte formulas can exaggerate lip lines. Instead, opt for satin or balmy finishes that smooth and reflect light, instantly softening the look of fine lines.

✨ Nourish from within
Omega-3s, antioxidants, and staying hydrated all support healthy, plump lips from the inside out.
