As we get a little older, it's no surprise that our skin texture changes. You may be frustrated when you notice a few (or more) wrinkles around your mouth. Fortunately, you can conceal these with cleverly placed makeup. You can also take steps to increase collagen production, which will give your skin a fuller appearance. In this article you will find out how you can eliminate your mouth wrinkles and promote the production of collagen.
Method 1: Make up wrinkles around your mouth – this is how you get it done
To remove makeup from your mouth wrinkles, follow these step-by-step instructions!
Apply a moisturizer daily
Dry skin can make your wrinkles appear deeper. Therefore, spread a moisturizer all over your face a few minutes before applying your makeup. This will keep your skin moisturized so that the wrinkles are not as noticeable.
Tipp: Use a gentle moisturizer that suits your skin type. Try a gel-based moisturizer if you have acne or oily skin.
Notice: Pat the moisturizer and makeup onto your skin using only your fingertips. Avoid pulling, tugging, or stretching as this can irritate and damage your skin.
Remove makeup from your mouth – dab a liquid foundation
Dab a drop of liquid foundation or foundation onto a concealer brush and blend over the skin. Then take the tip of your finger and gently and evenly pat it onto the skin, filling in fine lines. The primer or foundation plumps up the skin so that pores and wrinkles are less visible.
The primer fills in the wrinkles better, but a medium-weight foundation is also suitable. Foundation contains pigments designed to even out your skin tone. Make sure the foundation you choose matches the rest of your skin tone so that the area above your lips doesn't stand out.
Gently apply face powder over your lips
Take a powder brush and dip it into face powder. Tap the brush against your hand to distribute the powder before applying it above your lips. This prevents excess powder from making the wrinkles even more visible. Then tap the brush over your skin so the powder sets the foundation or makeup and holds it in place.
- To prevent wrinkles, purchase loose powder that contains sunscreen.
- Choose a translucent face powder if you want a light, natural look. If you want more coverage, choose a powder with pigments that match your skin tone.
Make-up away from mouth wrinkles – Use highlighter above the upper lip
Take a highlighter pen, gel, or shadow and apply a thin horizontal line to the skin just above your upper lip. Then, smudge the highlighter with your fingertip to blend it into your skin and create an attractive highlight. Lightening this area draws attention away from the vertical lines above your lips.
Use colorful lipstick to draw attention to the lips
Your mouth wrinkles won't be as noticeable when your lips are full of color. Choose a lip liner that matches your natural lip color and apply it along the outer edge of your lips. Then apply your favorite lipstick. The color will make your lips more interesting, so the wrinkles on top won't be as noticeable.
Tipp: The lip liner gives your lips a little more fullness. If you wear dark or colored lipstick, apply the liner all over the lips to prevent the color from fading.

Method 2: Reduce mouth wrinkles – use products that stimulate collagen production
Another option to reduce mouth wrinkles is to use the right products and cosmetics for mature skin care. Here you will find some tips!
Facial peeling to remove dead skin cells and stimulate blood circulation
Wet your face with cool water and apply a coin-sized amount of a gentle scrub to your face. Massage the scrub into your skin with your fingertips. Rinse off the product with warm water. Exfoliation removes dead skin cells and improves blood circulation, which stimulates collagen production.
Tipp: To avoid skin irritation, you should only exfoliate your skin 1 or 2 times a week.
Apply an anti-wrinkle serum or cream to your lips once a day
Look for a product that contains vitamin C, which increases collagen production, and hyaluronic acid, which keeps your skin plump and hydrated. Retinoids may also be listed as an anti-wrinkle ingredient because they reduce the appearance of fine wrinkles.
Notice: Use the serum for at least a few months before you can expect results.
