maybe Kassy will read this and be able to tell me what the heck all that is in the Valmont lip repair. I just ordered the NOTH lip plumper stuff. Good reviews.

Lots of oils in this, but otherwise I personally don't see anything in it that would diminish lines. Would like Kassy's input on the ingredients, as well.

ETA: I am struggling with the lip lines, as well, and have yet to find anything that will help them. A few years ago Sharky posted that she got rid of her lines. She did name some products, but there was never a "routine" given on how she really went about it.

I am on bi-est, progesterone and testosterone. My 50th birthday is next week and I have no wrinkles (none) on my face and have some minimal sagging on my neck. I really think the hormones help, but they are a piece of the puzzle. I also take really good care of myself with diet and supplements and am on a great skincare system.

Hi Tikiandbabu,
Would you mind sharing what you're using? Supplements and skin care system? Definitely sounds like you're doing something right!! Smile

Hi Kims,
Thank you, I think my Endroconologist is amazing and has helped me so much! Here is what I do in the supplement department; I take MACA everyday (which helps to keep our hormones functioning properly) vitamin D1000, Ultra Omega, C1000, ECGc suprement and during flu season (which is starting) I add two K-PAX to the mix each morning.
For skincare: I swear by the Intraceuticals line (Rejuvenation). It is really hydrating without being heavy on the skin .
And.... I drink a ton of water (sometimes 3+ liters a day), do yoga twice a week some form of cardio and weights 3 times a week.
A very smart person once told me that your body is composed of two thirds water so you want to hydrate and keep it going like a running stream not a clogged pond, so water is really important!
Hope that helps
Very Happy

Small Face Vaculifter worked like a charm for me!

Kassy would you mind sharing how oftern and for how long you use this?

Sure Kate, I do it on average 3 X week for probably pretty close to a year now. (I would recommend building use gradually and regularly with Vaculifter's no matter where you are using them!)

I wrap my lips tautly over my teeth, and go back and forth horizontally above and below each lip 100 times. Then I suction + hold each area of both lips for a few seconds (till they fill with blood.)

My lines are 80% (or more) improved, and my lips are a little plumper. Also of importance is that I stopped drinking out of water bottles and using straws many months ago..

Also, to the dye hard smokers (of which I was for 45 years), be cheesy and use a cigarette holder with a flat tip, or look in the mirror to find ways to reduce making those lines while you take a drag...

Sad but true, if nothing changes, nothing changes, when it comes to the dreaded vertical lip lines.. Sad
