The lip area is a focal point of the face, and it\u00a0can either enhance our overall facial appearance\u2014or detract from it. Based in New York City and Miami,\u00a0<\/em>dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali<\/em><\/a>\u00a0shares five ways to improve the look and feel of the lips.<\/em><\/p>\n

The skin on the lips is unique\u2026 Not only is it thinner than other skin on the body, it lacks oil glands which prevents it from creating its own moisture. Particularly prone to dryness (especially when exposed to harsh environmental conditions like wind and cold winter weather), the skin on and surrounding the lips requires special care and extra attention.<\/p>\n

Sun protection
\nEven if you\u2019re diligent about applying sunscreen to your face, neck and chest every morning (and before prolonged sun exposure), you likely skip the lips. In addition to visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles and loss of volume, the lips are one of the most common spots for skin cancer, which is why it\u2019s imperative to protect them from damaging UV rays when outdoors. Dr. Bhanusali recommends Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Lip Moisturizer with Sunscreen SPF 15<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Exfoliation
\nGentle exfoliation is key for eliminating dry, dead cells and keeping the lips smooth and supple. This can be achieved with a washcloth, a soft toothbrush or an exfoliating product such as the scrub found in the Yes to Coconut 2-Step Lip Kit Pucker Up<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enhance volume
\nThin lips can be genetic or the result of aging. A loss of volume leads to fine lines and wrinkles on and surrounding the lips, but injectable fillers can enhance plumpness without looking over-done. There are a variety of hyaluronic acid fillers made specifically for thin skin on and around the lips, including Restylane Silk<\/a>\u00a0and Juv\u00e9derm Volbella<\/a>. These treatments generally last for about a year. Volbella in particular is known for its hydration properties, and is great for \u201cshaping lips\u201d without expanding too much. Vollure<\/a>, a similar filler in the Juv\u00e9derm family, adds a bit more volume and can be used in other parts of the face such as the nasolabial folds and under the eyes as well.<\/p>\n

Smoker\u2019s lines
\nYears of repetitive pursing associated with smoking (as well as sipping out of a straw) can leave vertical lines etched into the skin surrounding the lips. Hyaluronic acid fillers can instantly fill these wrinkles, and Botox<\/a>\u00a0or Dysport<\/a>\u00a0can help minimize the muscle contractions that cause these lines (although this treatment is best for those whose wrinkles are not yet visible when the lips are at rest). In some cases, laser resurfacing with Erbium lasers (Sciton\u2019s Pro-Fractional is one of Dr. Bhanusali\u2019s favorites) may be the most effective way to remove damaged skin and promote collagen production.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
