Spa+Clinic Team Say goodnight to lip lines! Dermalogica’s new Nightly Lip Treatment smooths away laugh and feather lines while you sleep.
Set for launch on June 9, this rich overnight formula firms, hydrates and restores skin on and around the lips, improves skin elasticity, and helps prevent and control signs of ageing.
As we age, the formation of vertical lines above the upper lip, sagging in the perioral (mouth) region, and feathering outside of the lips become more pronounced – especially for those with a history of smoking.
Though the eyes are often thought to show the first signs of ageing, the lip and mouth area develop some of the most dramatic visible differences.
Both intrinsic (physiological) and extrinsic (external) factors contribute.
Lips lack the protective outer layer (strateum corneum) that facial skin has, and have fewer layers overall (3-5 vs. 16 on the face).
They also lack the same composition of oil and sweat glands that provide moisture to other areas of the face, while at the same time, saliva dries out lips’ natural oils.
As a result, moisture evaporates from lips faster than the rest of the face, contributing to visible lines and feathering.
Ageing in the mouth region, including marionette lines and nasolabial folds, can also be caused from collagen breakdown from damaging UV rays, trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL), smoking, drinking through a straw, and whistling.
Key ingredients in Nightly Lip Treatment include:
- Pyrus Malus (apple) fruit extract
- Glycerin complex
- Shea butter, to increase hydration and improve skin elasticity while restoring barrier function against visible signs of ageing
- Indian gentian extract, to helps reduce skin fragility and reduce the appearance of wrinkles around the lips
- Sesame seed extract to restore skin volume and reduces the appearance of fine lines in the upper perioral region
Skin repairs itself during sleep, making night time ideal for treating and preventing skin ageing.
