What Causes Thin Lips and Dry Lips?

The appearance of thin and dry lips is influenced by various factors including:

– Ageing: The composition of our lips and their surrounding structures alters as part of the natural ageing process. As we age, collagen production decreases, leading to thinner, less defined lips. Additionally, the skin on the lips loses its ability to retain moisture, causing dryness.

– Genetics: Family history can play a role in the natural shape and fullness of your lips.

– Environmental: Exposure to sun, wind, and cold weather can damage the lips, making them dry and cracked.

– Lifestyle: Smoking, poor hydration, and certain medications can also contribute to lip thinning and dryness.

How to stop dry lips?

To fix dry lips quickly and effectively, adopt these simple daily habits to nourish and replenish your lips year-round. Use lip balms and makeup that are free from irritating ingredients, avoiding over-fragranced products. Opt for hypoallergenic and fragrance-free options or those with natural ingredients like petroleum jelly or shea butter. Protect your dry lips from the elements by using a mild lip balm with SPF to guard against UV rays and cold weather. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and avoid licking your lips, as saliva can make them drier. After establishing these habits, consider proactive treatments like fillers and collagen-stimulators to restore definition and smooth out cracks.

Lip Fillers for Thin and Dry Lips

Dermal fillers can enhance thin lips by adding volume and hydration, providing immediate and natural-looking results. These lip fillers not only add volume to thin lips but also improve hydration, making dry lips look smoother and more youthful. Renowned brands offered at The Cosmetic Skin Clinic include Restylane and Juvederm. Our dermal filler lip treatments use biodegradable hyaluronic acid to instantly revitalise and replenish lips.

Restylane Lip Boosters for Dry Lips

Restylane Skin Boosters provide deep nourishment and hydration to the lips to bring back elasticity, firmness and plumpness. Using a series of hydrating micro-injections of hyaluronic acid, they allow your lips to retain more water while also smoothing out fine lip lines and wrinkles in the process. This can also be offered with an ultrasound treatment.
