Thin Lips
Many people would notice their lips starting to change. One of the most visible area of the body change is our lips. As we are getting older, some of us may have noticed that our lips are not as plumed as before. Having thin lips is not a medical condition but an aesthetic concern, as it could affect your self esteem. It is a natural process of life and can happen to everyone.
Symptoms
The lips are not as voluminous as they once were.
Causes
Ageing is the main factor of lips becoming thinner. As we age, our natural collagen production slows down, the collagen in our lips breaks down quicker but there is not enough production of collagen to replace it. Additionally, the muscles in our mouth area also weakened, which causes the formation of thin lips as well as lines and wrinkles around the mouth area. In this case, it is fair to say that causes of ageing or factors that can speed up the ageing process, such as sun exposure and smoking, are also causing the development of ageing.
Your lifestyle choices can also affect the thickness of your lips. For example, if you have the habit of biting your lips absentmindedly, your lips can star to thin gradually over time.
What’s more, genetics also play a huge factor in the overall plumpness, size, and thickness of your lips. If your family members are having relatively thin lips, it is most likely for your lips to thin when you begin to age. It is possible for you naturally to have thinner skin on the lips.
