Moist, luscious, plump lips have been covered by most women throughout history. Unfortunately, most of us are not genetically blessed with these lips. Luckily, skin care science has given us plenty of methods of improving the look of lips.
First off let’s talk about aging lips, that’s right I said it.
Lips often age more rapidly than the rest of our face does. This is partially due to the fact that the skin on our lips is thinner than skin elsewhere and does not contain sweat glands. Without sweat glands, lips don’t have the natural oils that protect skin from drying out.
- 1. The skin on our lips is called vermilion, it’s hairless and vascularized and it’s thinner than the skin on our face.

- 3. Lips also can show dehydration quickly and can burn easily. Glossy lip balms without SFP should not be worn out in the sun.
- 4. Mild scrubs and exfoliants can be used on the lips along with a professional mask as a treatment at home or in the treatment room. Be careful to avoid strong acids around the lips and anytime of exfoliation if the lips are chapped.
- 5. Make sure to protect your lips from the elements with lip balms and lip SPF products.
- 6. Add-on lip treatments are offered with treatments and can be really beneficial during the cold winter months.
- 7. The thinness of the skin and lack of oil lead to more rapid loss of moisture, leaving a dry and shriveled appearance. Other factors that lead to thin, unsightly lips are genetics, natural aging, UV exposure, dry air, certain medications and smoking.
Fortunately I got you covered in this area. Along with a add-on lip treatments, I have a variety of excellent lip products for you to use at home to keep those lips healthy and beautiful.
Also in March I will begin offering permanent makeup to enhance the lips. This is am extremely excited about, so be sure to look out for details.
As a thank you to all of you I will be offering a complementary lip treatment with any facial booked thru the end of next week. Just add the the phrase “lip love” in the note section when booking.
