Will a Lip Balm help with Lines Above the Lips?

At Nakin we have an amazing lip product which is our Lip Treatment Balm. It is a 100% natural formulation and contains lots of healing, nourishing and protecting natural ingredients, such as waxes, plant oils and butters. These offer the lips lots of hydration and comfort with their superb healing abilities. Our balm also helps with lines on the lips as it is a quality product that plays a role in preventing and reducing the appearance of lines on the lips naturally. It hydrates and nourishes the delicate skin, facilitating the repair of dry and cracked areas. By maintaining moisture levels, it also ensures that lips remain supple and plump, lessening the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles. Furthermore, it naturally contains essential vitamins and antioxidants that protect the lips from environmental stressors, contributing to healthier, smoother lips over time.

One of the questions that we sometimes have about our lip balm is if it is a good treatment for lip lines above the lip. Although it could help with this it would also leave a residue on the skin and as the skin around our lips is so different from the skin on our lips, we recommend using good face treatments to help with lines above the lips.

Our Lip Treatment Balm is designed more for the lip area and will help with lines here and on the edge of the lips, but above the lip we would recommend using our Performance Face Serum instead. This is more like a lotion and so will not show up like the balm can. It contains lots of amazing plant actives and extracts including a line smoothing peptide plus some of the same plant oils that are found in our lip care. If you prefer to use something with a more oil like consistency then our Revitalising Face Oil is also great for helping to smooth out lines. It is an extremely caring product and is packed with skin boosting ingredients. They can both be found here along with the rest of the range.

Natural face products specifically formulated to help with lines on the face should also be beneficial for lines around the lips, as this area of skin is similar to the rest of the face. For the delicate area on the actual lips a lip balm is better. For the rest of the face a good face treatment like our Performance Face Serum can help in reducing the appearance of lines. Our serum contains ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, which hydrates and plumps the skin, and a peptide known for its ability to stimulate collagen production and accelerate cell turnover. By incorporating this into your skincare routine, you can target the lines around the lips and the rest of the face and neck, resulting in naturally smoother, more youthful-looking skin.

In addition to using good face products, there are also daily habits that can help improve the appearance of lines around the lips. For instance, constantly pursing your lips or smoking can contribute to the formation of fine lines and wrinkles in this area. Therefore, being mindful of these actions and trying to limit them can aid in preventing further damage to the delicate skin around the mouth.

Another important factor in reducing the appearance of lip lines above the lips is protecting your lips from UV damage. Just like the rest of our skin, the delicate area around the lips is prone to sun damage and can result in premature signs of ageing such as wrinkles and fine lines. Use SPF protection when outside to help shield your lips from harmful UV rays, preventing further damage and maintaining the youthful appearance of your lips.

Furthermore, incorporating a healthy diet rich in antioxidants can also benefit the appearance of lip lines above the lips. Antioxidants help fight against free radicals, which can contribute to premature ageing and the development of wrinkles around the lips. Foods such as blueberries, dark leafy greens, and green tea are excellent sources of antioxidants that can promote overall skin health, including the delicate skin around the lips.
