3 Ways to Reduce the Look of ‘Smokers’ Lines’ (Even if You Don’t Smoke) and Bring out Your Natural Radiance
Has ageing caught you by surprise? For some women, it can be a gradual process of a few wrinkles here and there. But for others (especially smokers), nearly every close examination in the mirror can reveal yet another wrinkle or unwanted sign of ageing, even more so once you get to a certain age!
The Most Common Signs of Unwanted Skin Damage and Ageing
(Especially Among Smokers)
One common skin concern among smokers—and even non-smokers—are 'Smokers' Lines'. Officially, they're called Vertical Lip Lines or Lip Wrinkles. Yet there are plenty of vivid words to describe them, including the metaphorically apt 'Barcode Lines'.
That these may occur due to the repetitive facial movements in the act of smoking or vaping may not astound you. But you're in for a surprise to know that these lines can STILL appear despite you not ever having taken up the habit!
And it makes sense given the constant lip movements we all do...
—blowing air kisses to our friends
—sucking our favourite drinks through a straw
—even pouting for that perfect Instagram selfie
... that go on to form deeper-than-usual creases above the lips, especially over a span of time.
What's happening under the surface is that all these movements are stretching the delicate skin above the upper lip. The more the stretching the less it is able to bounce back to its naturally-smooth, flawless shape.The skin then collapses into tiny wrinkles that can look like barcodes. Doubly so as you get older.
Now, don’t worry if a tiny part of you wants to restrict all those perfectly-natural ways of expression. In fact, feel free to smile, laugh, and yes, even pout to your heart’s content!
But if you’re a smoker and happen to care about your appearance—then you need to pay closer attention to what we’re about to tell you.
You see, smoking speeds up the ageing process as it deprives the skin of nutrients and oxygen. And when that becomes chronic the result is uneven skin tone, a duller complexion, and increasingly dry, rough-to-the-touch skin; not discounting other, more insidious effects.
Even if you don’t smoke, it is possible for you to have these specific ageing concerns. On why that is, well—
Consider the environmental stressors your skin is exposed to every single day...
Or the decades of all those sneaky little skincare mistakes finally catching up to you...
And not to mention how after 40, when collagen and elastin—key proteins to do with the skin’s suppleness, firmness, & elasticity—begin to dwindle.
So, here is when it becomes all the more important to revise your entire outlook on skincare. And if you’re wondering how to go about that, well—we’ve got you covered!

2. Reduce the Look of Wrinkles and Bring Back Your Radiant Glow—
with 3 Powerful Ayurvedic Ingredients!
In Ayurveda, there are 3 ingredients in particular that are revered for their ability to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, lines, puffiness & uneven skin and bring back your glow (even if you’re a smoker!)
This prized flower—a tiny burst of purple radiance with a fiery red heart (its brilliant red, trumpet-shaped stigma)—grows natively only in certain parts of the world. It prefers fallowed fields raked by an arid breeze under a baking summer sun. Harvesting it not easy either—for the vast tracts of land, the right climate, and the labour-intensive techniques it requires.
Beyond its alluring scent and subtle flavour, this multifaceted, highly sought-after spice holds innumerable skin-rejuvenating secrets which the ancients knew well about (and guarded zealously!)
Saffron is revered in Ayurveda for its ability to brighten and improve the look of one's skin tone, making it appear more vibrant and luminous.
And if you’re dealing with skin irritation or puffiness—common concerns for smokers—Saffron's potent prowess may be of use to you. For a salve made with Saffron is known to calm irritated skin, reduce the look of puffiness and even out the complexion!
Plus, Saffron helps fight off the effects of everyday stressors on your skin including environmental pollutants, and yes even, the effects of smoking, helping you smooth the look of unwanted fine lines and wrinkles.
Next, let’s look at Turmeric, also known as “golden spice,” due to its innumerable benefits!
Turmeric isn’t just a popular spice. In Ayurveda, it’s prized for the sheer volume of its capabilities (too many to list here!), including several sought-after effects that make it the natural care staple that it is.
Rich in curcumin, Turmeric is renowned for its ability to brighten and energise the look of the skin restoring that natural, healthy-looking glow.
It also helps cleanse the skin of everyday impurities—which is critical if you’re a smoker—as you’re frequently exposed to oxidative stress, which we know accelerates skin ageing.
Turmeric is also known to support the skin’s natural protective barrier. Plus, it reduces the look of puffiness, balances the skin’s complexion, and grants a more even-looking skin tone.
The takeaway—if you're prone to puffy and dull-looking skin due to smoking or simply due to natural ageing—turmeric is a must-have in your skincare routine.
Rose oil and rose water are naturally soothing, so they calm the skin, ease irritation, and give your complexion a more even tone.
They also guard against stressors that speed up ageing, such as smoking, helping to fend off the look of those fine lines by reinforcing your skin’s defences.
Rose water doubles as a fantastic toner, too—for it not only refreshes and cools the skin, but also promotes a smoother, firmer-looking appearance.
Meanwhile, Rose Oil is a known powerhouse for maintaining skin barrier. It gives skin a collagen rich look, which is essential for firm, youthful looking skin.
3. Go Beyond Basic Moisturisation with this Deeply Nourishing Oil
Hydration is a critical factor in fighting the signs of ageing and skin damage, especially if you're in your 40s or if you happen to smoke as smoking can significantly dehydrate the skin
And no, we don’t mean reaching for the crusty tube of that everyday, off-the-shelf moisturiser you may have used in your 20s either. Why? Because you don’t WANT something that just coats the top layer of your skin in moisture that disappears in minutes.
What you NEED is something that penetrates the many layers of your skin giving you intense hydration from within.
And, how do you get it? With Sesame Oil!
Sesame oil is an excellent hydrator for lacklustre skin. This is because of its unique ability to increase the water content of the individual cells through the skin's many layers. That means Sesame Oil doesn't just stay on the surface (like most moisturisers)—it actually goes deeper to restore and maintain the skin's hydration levels.
This is because sesame oil is rich in linoleic and oleic acids, which are fatty acids that enhance the skin's lipid barrier. This barrier is essential for trapping moisture and keeping the skin hydrated and plump.
After it sinks into the skin, it forms a light, protective layer that prevents water loss, without clogging pores.
This means your skin stays hydrated for longer periods, but without leaving an oily residue

Help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines (such as those unsightly “barcode lines” or chest wrinkles) and make your skin feel smooth as silk due to its unique time-tested formula
Go beyond basic moisturisation to deeply nourish dry skin and reduce flakiness caused by smoking, skin damage and a decline in your collagen production.

Brighten, reduce the look of puffiness and give your skin an even-tone so you can look fresh well into your 40s and beyond due to the combination of saffron, rose, sesame oil and the potency of turmeric (plus 15 other Ayurvedic Herbs)
Unlike a lot of face oils, Kesaradi Face Oil is light, non-greasy and easily absorbed onto the skin—so you won’t look like you’ve just had an oily Ayurvedic massage!
In fact, despite being an oil, it has a matte-like consistency that once applied to the skin, it leaves no residue, so it works perfectly under makeup.
You can use Kesaradi Face Oil day or night, and the Indian rose aroma has a calming effect and adds a little luxury to your daily skincare routine.
Plus, given that saffron can be incredibly expensive to buy and hard to trust (sometimes it’s mixed with other substances such as beet, red-dyed silk fibres, turmeric, and paprika) or is of low quality—and that rose essential oil can also be expensive to buy…
… our Ayurvedic formula contains the highest quality natural ingredients you can trust for a very affordable price.

Miracle In A Bottle
"I've been so happy with the Kesaradi oil. My skin was getting really dry and flaky and fine lines were starting to become deeper. Even though I'm 50, I would like my skin to be hydrated and young looking for as long as possible. Now, there is no more flaking of my skin and the texture of my skin has improved... my skin looks brighter. I have gotten the night time oil as well and that combination of products has been working very well, better than the much more expensive creams I had been using. The added bonus is how beautiful the products smell!” – Catherine M.
