    Prevention and treatment

    Most people don't think about using SPF on their lips but it's important in preventing lip lines. Once you have them, a good moisturizing treatment can help as well as lip plumpers. The plumpers fill the skin out and make fine lines less noticeable.

    Re: Prevention and treatment

    Gina, you're absolutely right! Not only can you prevent lines from forming, you may also be saving your health. One of the most dangerous places to get skin cancer is right on your lips. See the paragraph below found on SkinCancerNet.

    Since squamous cell carcinoma has the potential to metastasize (spread), this form of skin cancer can be lethal if not treated. In aggressive cases, the tumor can spread to the lymph nodes or internal organs. This is especially true when a tumor begins on a lip or ear, or the patient has a weakened immune system.
