4 Ways to Target Lip Lines & Marionette Lines (That Actually Work)

Kiss those Unwanted Lip Lines, Smoker's Lines & Marionette Lines Goodbye

The skin around your mouth is in constant motion–every word, smile, and expression leaves its mark. As collagen production naturally decreases over time, these pesky lines can become more pronounced. The good news? We've got the targeted solutions to treat, soften, and prevent all types of wrinkles around your mouth.

But before we spill the juicy details, let’s dive into what lip lines are and the reasons why they appear.

Understanding Lip Lines & Marionette Lines

What Are Lip Lines?

Lip lines (sometimes called smoker's lines) are those vertical wrinkles that form above the upper lip. Despite their nickname, you don't have to be a smoker to have a smoker's lip–they're a common part of the ageing process that can appear on both the upper and lower lips.

What Are Marionette Lines?

Marionette lines are wrinkles that extend from the corners of your mouth down to your chin. Their name comes from their resemblance to the lines on marionette puppets that allow them to appear as if they're talking. They're distinct from nasolabial folds (also known as smile lines or laugh lines), which run from the nose to the corners of the mouth.

What Causes These Stubborn Wrinkles?

Both lip lines and marionette lines develop due to several factors:

Natural Ageing Process – As we age, our skin loses elasticity and collagen which keep the skin firm and smooth.

Sun Exposure – The lips often go unprotected from the sun, making them susceptible to UV damage.

Repetitive Movements – The skin around the mouth moves constantly during talking, eating, smiling, and other expressions.

Smoking – For smokers, these lines form in two ways: the toxins in cigarettes accelerate the breakdown of collagen and elastin, while the repeated action of pursing lips when smoking contributes to the formation of dynamic lines.
