Lip Lines (aka smokers lines)
I’ve never smoked a day in my life but I have spent a lot of time in the sun. My skin looks pretty good for a 43 year old but I am getting vertical lip lines. I really don’t want to get fillers. Are there any other treatments you have done (or know of) that can help this? I absolutely hate the way it looks?

I would say a retinol but that area is pretty sensitive and I know retinols can be harsh at first.
I recently starting using this- and it's too soon to say if it helps with fine lines, but it's gotten some pretty good reviews so we will see. I do use it around my lips with no issue.

Re: Lip Lines (aka smokers lines)
Oh also, the lines are most likely due to a break down in collagen. I have read that taking gelatin daily can really help rebuild collagen (More so than collagen powders and shakes which honestly just get broken down by your body like any other protein and processed out)
I got some gelatin capsules on Amazon. I haven't been taken them long but I can see a difference in my soft nails getting much stronger and less peeling.
I also have read it helps joints- and my knees are starting to get stiff a lot which I know is going to lead to issues down the road. So I am hoping to see improvement in that as well.
And of course if it helps my skin that would be a nice bonus!
Might be worth a try- they are cheap enough.

Have you tired angellift? I've started using it. Not sure if I notice any change yet but too soon to tell.
What kind of gelatin do you use?

And they say if you are looking for maximum benefit with joint pain and issues, take it with Vitamin C. That combo seems to have very good clinical results.
