What are purse-string wrinkles
Purse-string wrinkles are thin vertical lines that form around the mouth and resemble the folds of a purse-string. They occur due to loss of skin elasticity, decreased collagen and elastin levels, and frequent facial movements such as pursing the lips or actively articulating. These wrinkles often appear in women over 40, but can begin to appear earlier depending on lifestyle and genetic predisposition.
Causes of Purse-String Wrinkles
With age, skin loses its elasticity due to decreased collagen and elastin production, making it more susceptible to wrinkles. This natural loss of tissue density is exacerbated by active facial expressions, especially in those who frequently purse their lips, chew vigorously, or use facial expressions in everyday life. Such movements contribute to the appearance of vertical lines around the mouth, which become more noticeable over time.
External factors also play an important role. Ultraviolet radiation destroys collagen fibers, and environmental pollution accelerates the aging process. Smoking, dry air, and insufficient skin hydration further worsen its condition, contributing to the formation of wrinkles. Genetics can also be a decisive factor: if there is a predisposition to early aging in the family, the risk of purse-string wrinkles increases.

Skin care procedures
Include products that deeply moisturize and nourish the skin in your daily skin care routine. For example, a lifting serum from the Collagen Peptide line instantly tightens the skin, evens out skin tone, and stimulates collagen production.

Home treatments
Masks with active ingredients such as hyaluronic acid and vitamins help nourish the skin with moisture and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

Strengthen the muscles around the lips with exercises, for example, pronounce vowel sounds, accentuating the movements of the lips, or slightly lift the corners of the lips and fix the position. Such training strengthens the muscle frame and slows the formation of new wrinkles.

Your diet should include foods rich in healthy fats and antioxidants. They nourish the skin from the inside and promote its regeneration.
Don't forget to stay properly hydrated. Drink 1.5-2 liters of water daily to maintain skin elasticity.
By maintaining your skin with proper care, you can keep it smooth and youthful for a long time, minimizing the appearance of purse-string wrinkles.
