Lip wrinkles are one sign of aging that no one wants. Wrinkles on upper lips are known as Smoker’s Lines. As the name suggests, smokers lips are not only caused by smoking alone, but may also appear due to frequent movements of the lips while drinking, talking and frowning among others.
Why smoking cause wrinkles?
Smoking causes blood vessels to narrow and restrict the flow of blood to the skin surface. Due to this top layer of your skin do not receive the essential nutrients and oxygen that are required to keep up elasticity in the skin. Lack of elasticity in the area causes wrinkles.
Cosmetic procedures
