Why do women get vertical lip wrinkles more easily than men?

    Only noticed this recently. I'm a guy, but I look more like my mother (who has some) than my father. Apparently, if you want to see how you age, you should look at your mother, as you inherit her mitochondria.

    Both men and women seem to get frown lines and puppet lines at equal rates, but it's just the wrinkles above the lip that men don't seem to get at all. Might be something to do with the hair follicles and extra sweat glands men have.

    To digress slightly; on the subject of skin care, I've always assumed that if you've the perfect diet (along with exercise), that the skin should be nourished from the inside out via the capillaries. And that other than a basic face wash, any skin care products are unnecessary and are merely marketing.

    Stop doing duckface selfies, that's what's giving you lip wrinkles.


    Also, just stop doing duckface selfies in general.

    Even more of a reason not to do them. I don't understand your fascination with duck faces there, op :pac:

    "Why do women get vertical lip wrinkles more than men?"

    ... because men only have horizontal lips?

    You don't inherit 'good ageing' , ageing is basically just collagen loss which leads to sagging skin, decrease in fat in the mid face and temples and eye area(all places that show youth), bone density loss, increased body fat in jaw/mouth and rest of body. What genes would determine these do you think? They're relatively constant for all people, thats why most people look their age. Some people just look better than others as some people stay in shape as they age and also it depends on the level of sun exposure you've had in your life, smoking, exercise,hair and skin care etc. Black people for instance age better due to their skin being darker and thicker , protecting from sun. Theres no 'good ageing' gene when you break it down like this. And to answer your question, men have a slightly thicker skin layer naturally which makes them age slower.

    Those wrinkles are usually from smoking. It's rotten.

    If your mam doesn't smoke it could be that she's just really crap at blow jobs.

    Dr Bunkums organic Fukushima seaweed cream with added snake oil will do the trick, it's just €99.95.... Seriously though women spend serious money on creams that do sweet F all to stop the aging process.

    Hmm... No moisturiser means dry, "tight" skin which helps it lose its elasticity, so while I agree moisturiser does not stop the ageing process, no moisturising helps accommodate it sooner.

    What has stood my skin in good stead above all is keeping in the shade/using a SPF when it's sunny. And moisturising daily (an expensive moisturiser is of course not necessary).

    Nope. There was 15 months between my 1st and 2nd time, and probably won't do it again (3rd time) til April or May. Had it done last November. If it's something you do infrequently you can't tell anythings there, everything just looks better.
