Lips

Aging brings with it wisdom, more leisure time and unfortunately, wrinkles and other maladies.


According to a 1998 survey, roughly half of those aged 35 to 62 consider themselves at least somewhat concerned about aging.

What is driving this anti-aging fever? Pressures associated with a competitive workplace make a youthful appearance a business advantage.

The desire to look only as old as you feel also is a factor. A recent survey conducted for the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) found that typical boomers "feel" nearly 10 years younger than they actually are.

Changes in Skin as it Ages

Skin Change

Results

  • Less collagen is manufactured

Can cause skin to look and feel thin or more delicate

  • The quality of skin's elastin deteriorates, so it breaks down easily

Skin can become less elastic and wrinkles can develop

  • The skin's "barrier function" can begin to break down

Skin can become more vulnerable to cosmetic and medical problems


The areas most often exposed to the elements, the face and hands, are also the areas most likely to show the first signs of aging. Among the telltale signs are lines that form around the lips.

But its the lips themselves that really speak volumes.
