Three secrets to kissable lips


1. Laugh lines

We wouldn’t trade a few decades’ worth of laughs for anything. But the lines they leave around the mouth are another story. Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Anti-Wrinkle Serum ($29.99, 1800 678 380) contains retinol, which over time can make these wrinkles look fainter.


2. Puckering

Vertical lines above and below the lips are caused by collagen loss due to sun exposure and repeated puckering (talking, drinking and smoking). Try: Pelactiv Cell Renewal Complex ($92, pelactiv.com), which contains a cocktail of antioxidants, including vitamins A, C and E.


3. Thinning lips

Daily exfoliation stimulates blood flow and eliminates dead skin cells, making lips look healthier and fuller. Use a lip-specific exfoliator, like Lush Lip Scrub ($9.95, 1300 587 428). For instant volume, try a lip gloss such as Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme, ($19.95, 1800 812 663).
