Hi - was hoping some of you out there have some advice for lip treatments. For years I was obsessed with getting my skin in shape, and well, since I'm relatively happy with my skin now, I've started noticing other things: namely my lips. Eek. They get dry in the winter weather, and look not-so-great. I've also noticed my lips don't look as "full" as they did back in my 20's, plus I'm noticing a TON of little vertical lines on them now.
Does anyone have experience dealing with this? What's a good lip treatment? So far I've only been slathering on lip balm, but I want something better that can help with the little lines and fullness? |

| a recommendation : besides lip balm, you can try honey on your lips and paste a clean plastic wrap on it for several minutes . Just try it ! |

| It isn't as bad as it seems, maiea. I am not sure how some people were going through the product so fast. You need just a tiny amount, and that kit lasted me probably 3 months. Then, you just replenish what you need! Good luck if you try it. |

Simran, I got a lot of plumping of my lips!  I actually started using the L2K for my horrible lip lines above my lip. Unfortunately, while the L2K system helped somewhat with those, they did not go away. But, my lips plumped up really quickly. I think it was like 1 month into the system and they were looking really well. I used the system for 8 months in total faithfully every night. I occasionally use the products now but not every night anymore. I do use lipstick, but it is rare use, and I do not use lip balms! If you go to the L2K site, I am in the photos section in the "40-50" group and I am the client bottom left, under "44, Florida". You can get a good idea of the plumping I had with the system. My lips still look pretty good even not using the system every night. Hope that helps! |

Riley Girl - I know you were asking on the ZO thead about lip products. Are you looking for a different type of product than L2K??? I used L2K also for about 6 months but started peeling and peeling like crazy - wouldn't stop. And I was faithful - with the blowdryer and everything. Candace tried to help me but I guess it wasn't for me - but my lips looked very, very plump in the mornings. I did like it but the money and the time and the continued peeling did me in.
I started to use Candessance (I think I can say this now since she's no longer in Biz) lip serum and it was outstanding - wish I could find more of that stuff.
What are you using now? Thanks Sis |

| The absolute best ever lip treatment is Valmont Lip Repair. The only product I have ever used that does not cause the lips to go dry if you stop using it but the container lasts nearly nine months so it is good value. |

Wo, amazing. And VALMONT always can give us surprises. I will be next fan of this lip treatment. The best lip product I ever used is the lip balm by URIAGE. |

The best way to prevent your lips drying out in winter is drinking a cup of warm water in the morning.I have tried this for years.It never let me down.  |

Hi, Sis! Yes, I really am looking for a different type of product than L2K. I am really more after something to work on these darn lip lines above my lip than anything else, honestly. I am impatiently waiting for a lip product from ZO and hoping it will be outstanding! In the meantime, I really don't use much on my lips. I have been using the "tip" Septembergirl gave about applying whatever C you use on your face to your lips (skinmedica at the moment for me). Other than that, I have just been using Aquaphor. I am always on the lookout for a great lip product, though! |

rileygirl: wow, that's a huge difference in your lips with the system. Have you tried copper peptides at all for your upper lip lines?
For now since I'm still a bit broke after all the spending over Christmas - I decided to see if there was anything I had laying around that I could use. I looked over at the Skin Biology forum and it turns out a lot of people have been using copper peptides on their lips as well! I've been using this for the past 2-3 days, and so far so good... the dryness/lines on my lips looks to be less deep. (Before sleeping: I exfolate using a scrub, wash off, put on a drop of CP serum, once it's sunk in, a drop of HA serum, once that has sunk in, a bit of emu oil to cover. I wash this all off in the morning before brushing my teeth.) |

| I have only used the CPx2 mixed with Retin A on my lip lines directly after a few of my dermarolling sessions. I will say I really peeled above my upper lip when I used the 2 mixed. Otherwise, I tried the CP serum for about 3 months and I had nothing in the way of results (good nor bad!). Keep us posted on your use of the CP's on your lips, maiea! |

1. Drink enough water or juice every day;
2. Use lip balm;
3. Use lip mask or eye mask on my lip twice one week. |

| I'm telling ya Aquaphor can do it all. I used to have what I call "kool aid" mouth in the winter, that red ring around the lips and major chapped lips but my esthetician recommended Aquaphor and it is great. I haven't had any trouble all winter. |

| You could try By Terry lip balm, it really works well, not just a moisturizer for the lips. |

| I always find that products go on more effectively when exfoliating first, this applies to skin and lips as well. I like taking a soft toothbrush and lightly buffing the lips before putting lip treatments on. They go on much smoother this way. |
