The vertical lines above your upper lip that you describe are typically known as wrinkles. They are mostly a fairly common occurrence after the age of 50 years. If you are under 50 years of age, then wrinkles appear to have arrived too soon for you. You must show your skin to a dermatologist and get an opinion on why these lines have appeared so quickly. However, if you are over 50 years of age, then you can try to work on lightening them. It is essential to know that wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, and even the most expensive treatments like botox or surgery can only help you to only some extent. Skin will lose its elasticity with time, and they will reappear again, no matter what you do. So be prepared for that eventuality.
In order to retard the growth of wrinkles and do away with finer lines, try not to expose your skin excessively to harsh natural elements like excessive water, sun, hot or dry air. This calls for a process of constant moisturization and toning of your skin. Use a regular moisturizer twice a day for best results. Olive oil is an excellent way to keep your skin healthy and well toned, so you can use that too. It is important to have a facial done at least once a week after the age of 45 years, as your skin needs the nourishment that nature has stopped providing. A good facial, well suited to your skin type is the best way to go. You can also make your own face pack, one which is specifically targeted to reduce wrinkles. Use whipped egg whites with a few drops of fresh lime juice. This will help to tauten your skin, thus removing fine lines and considerably lightening the two prominent ones as well.
Make your own collagen face pack to use once a week as well. Crush equal parts of papaya, pineapples and peach. All of these products contain collagen, which is the elastic substance the skin naturally produces. They will help to tighten your skin considerably. You can use this pack at night, leave it on for about 20 minutes and then wash with plain water. After this, simply moisturize and go straight to bed. This will allow all the products to work on your skin overnight. Trying out all of these methods will show you results in as little as a month.
