Argue all you want, but smile lines aren’t exactly a fantastic highlight of aging. Ironically, neither laugh lines nor smile lines exclusively result from aging. In some cases, they are the consequence of your face losing its elasticity or fat and in other people, they may be a genetic characteristic.
In spite of their warm and endearing quality, anybody who has struggled with keeping their makeup from being buried within those nasolabial folds will agree that anything short of a needle is worth trying if it promises to get rid of those pesky little lines.
Sure, we all like a little wrinkle in our laughter and some character to our smiles, but anything that threatens the sanctity of our makeup pretty much violates all of life’s unspoken boundaries – and you better believe we will be breaking out the boxing gloves, if a fight is what it takes to tackle this infringement.
Keep reading to see the 7 best ways to fight (and win) smile lines –
That’s right, this is war!
Well…sort of.
Happy Skin Smile Line Patch
Want a smile line treatment that truly packs a punch? Well, there is no product that interprets this goal quite as literally as the Happy Skin Smile Line Patch. Made from a combination of gold particles, bee venom, and hydrogel, these face masks manage to eliminate smile lines in three simple steps;
Improve circulation – repair cells – moisturize.
You’re right. Bee venom seems to be taking it a tad too far, but after learning about Kate Middleton’s alleged obsession with ‘natures botox’ the beauty world was abuzz with attempts to disprove its potency, and well – even the experts were stunned.
It turns out bee venom is a complex solution of amino acids, peptides, and enzymes that, combined with gold particles, can stimulate the production of elastin and collagen, repair damaged skin cells and lock in the moisture required to kick your face back to its former glory.
With each 24-carat gold mask is an opportunity to give your face a 5-star treatment, and given it’s unique mineral oil free, paraben free and sulfate free composition, you can be rest-assured of a natural based treatment free of chemical burns.
Naturally, this protection isn’t guaranteed those who are allergic to bee stings – and if your skin is sensitive, you might want to consider a different smile-line treatment option.
SiO Eye & Smile Lift
If bee venom is too much ‘punch’ for your delicate skin, then you’ll be grateful for options like the SiO Smile lift patch, which is actually made from medical grade silicone.
It is a long established fact that silicone can be especially beneficial in exfoliation and rejuvenation; so, it is no surprise that it can also be implicated in smile line elimination. The extent of silicone’s efficacy, however, might surprise you.
Other than exfoliating your skin, this silicone patch plumps up those fine lines by hydration and compression which in turn kick-starts an increased production of natural collagen, eventually producing visible results on your face in a matter of hours.
The best part about this patch, however, is its multi-functionality. Each patch is designed to combat both eye and smile crinkles and wrinkles, ultimately leaving you with delicately enhanced facial expressions, void of both eye and smile wrinkles. And given its dermatologist approved, allergy-safe blend of ingredients, you won’t have to lose sleep using a product that might be counterproductive in effect.
Furlesse Lip-sticks
We know what you are thinking – and no, this isn’t a lipstick, at least not in the conventional sense. It is actually a lip patch that works quite similarly to regular face or eye patches.
They are essentially skin care stickers that pretty much hold your lip skin taut while you take a nap or go about your business – an hour or two later, simply rip it off and your lips will be back to its much desired youthful and plump state.
Even though its ingredients are somewhat vague, one guarantee you can take to the bank is that it won’t result in a break-out or any irritation. The patch neither contains latex nor is the material hypoallergenic. No, BPA, fragrance or drama – just a simple lip patch. It is so simple that you might even consider wearing it out, and even though we can’t recommend outdoor use, chances are no one will see them anyway, so you can probably get away with a quick trip to the laundry mat or a convenience store. Only ensure that your skin is completely oil free before applying, otherwise, it might be a nightmare to trying to make it stick.
Facial Wrinkle Flattening Patches
Much like the Furlesse Lip-stick, these Facial Wrinkle Flattening Patches by Scobuty work to smooth out wrinkles and crinkles by holding the concern-areas taut for long enough to stretch out the skin into a preferred position. Scobuty up’s the ante by using breathable, micro-perforated strips in the manufacturing of these patches which like others are comfortable and hypoallergenic, but unlike the majority provide the guarantee of preventing new lines, while eliminating existing ones temporarily.
Of course its temporal, even Botox doesn’t last forever.
But unlike Botox, this is a non-invasive, not to mention, inexpensive way to tone those facial muscles back to their youthful structure. And with its multi-action plan, everything from your forehead wrinkles to your crow’s feet and upper lip lines can be tackled by the patches in each box. So, if your concerns extend to other parts of your face and you can’t risk the irritation of balms, serums or lotions, then these patches are your one stop shop to a wrinkle-free face.
Pure Hyaluronic Acid Serum By Eve Hansen
Without reference to hyaluronic acid serum, only little can be said about wrinkle elimination and prevention. Hyaluronic acid itself serves as an excellent dermal filler and is a popular injectable, known to be used by cosmetic dermatologists because of their long-lasting effect.
Now, imagine getting a $1200 facial treatment, minus the trauma of getting poked with a needle, all for under $20?
Yes. Yes, you can.
Dubbed the ‘facelift in a bottle’ this hyaluronic acid serum by Eve Hansen is the perfect solution to fine lines and wrinkles. For good measure, the formulation even combats dark circles and puffiness while providing a shield from damaging UVB rays. Best of all, the serum will neither leave your face oily nor will it dry out your skin; it easily adjusts its moisture absorption to suit humidity levels.
And with its flawless blend of botanical hyaluronic acid, vitamin C and E, green tea and organic aloe and jojoba oil, you are guaranteed a seamless irritation-free experience even with sensitive skin.
Pure Biology Anti-aging Night Cream
Yes, night creams are still in the business of smoothing out creases. And this anti-aging solution by PureBiology gives credence to this fact.
Considered one of the strongest non-prescription, anti-aging blends, this night cream battles for the top spot among grade RX cosmetics, with a powerful blend of retinol, Fision (by PureBiology) and Hyaluronic acid the lightweight formulation outperforms anti-aging solutions in eliminating and preventing wrinkles as well as moisturizing and restoring skin from the injurious effects of ultra-violet rays.
The performance of this night cream is topped off by its unique blend of amino acids and antioxidants which are proven to decrease epidermal dryness, while tightening and firming facial skin – and suffices to say, those smile lines.
While this composition might be a bit tough for sensitive skin, it’ll certainly give you results if your face can take the punch; and frankly, in beauty, where there’s no pain, there’s no gain.
SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex
Before we dive right into all the reasons why this product is the best for you I must confess, first of all, that it is a personal favorite. And it is not just because it comes in a sleek, clearly well-thought-out packaging (even though that is reason enough to love it), it is because it actually outperforms itself.
The Skin Medica TNS Recovery Complex combines a unique blend of proteins, antioxidants, growth factors and cytokines to become one of the most versatile, viable formulations with regard to wrinkle elimination and prevention.
You might actually be at risk of never having wrinkles with fervent use of this formula.
…And the best part? It is suitable for all skin types and feels like a million bucks when it touches your skin; but with the highest concentration of growth factors compared to most products, we can’t be too surprised.
Of course, it costs a small fortune – but given its composition and concentration, we would be more surprised if it didn’t. The price of beauty might be steep, but when the results begin rolling in, even you will agree that it is worth every penny.
Finally…
It is true that the process of aging shouldn’t be considered in such a negative light, our wrinkles, folds, and crinkles each tell a story after all. In spite of all their wonderful tales, however, we can all agree that there are some stories that we would rather tell with our voices rather than the folds on our skin, and one of the 7 recommendations above will set you on the fast-track to flawless skin, so which will it be?
