IF you’ve noticed wrinkles forming around your mouth, these hacks may be for you.
A skincare expert has shared the five tricks you can use to not only smooth your pout, but also plump it up.
In her videoDr. Asia (@skinbydrazi) explained that women are more prone to lip lines than men.
“It’s because men have thicker skin, they have more structure in their skin with hair follicles that act like pillars,” the TikToker told her audience.
“That keeps it from wrinkling and wrinkling as much as a woman’s skin.”
The dermatologist revealed the “five tips you can do at home to reduce lip lines and prevent smoker’s lines.”
For her first recommendation, she advised her viewers to prioritize sun protection.
“Make sure to apply a generous amount of sunscreen around the mouth and lips,” said Dr. Asia.
“So many people don’t realize that gloss and lip balms in the sun increase harmful UV rays.”
She also emphasized the importance of using retinol products in your anti-aging routine.

“Retinols help boost your collagen and thicken your skin, adding that structure,” explained Dr. Asia out.
“You have to be careful because retinol can also cause a lot of irritation around the mouth.”
For her next tip, she suggested using antioxidants like vitamin C on your skin.
“They help repair the damage we’re exposed to throughout the day, whether it’s UV rays or pollution,” she told viewers.
“They are important for collagen production.”
Tips for removing lip lines
- Use extra sun protection on your lips and around your mouth
- Use retinol to boost your collagen
- Use antioxidants to repair skin damage

Dr. Azi also recommended using hyaluronic acid to instantly plump up lip lines.
“Apply it to damp skin and it will soften those lines,” she said.
Finally, she revealed the simple step you can take once or twice a week to remove lip lines.
“Use an exfoliation peel, it helps remove dead skin cells, soften fine lines and stimulate collagen production,” she explained.
