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!

3 Little-Known Ways to Reduce the Look of ‘Smokers’ Lines’ + other Wrinkles, Fine Lines, and Uneven Skin Tone

1. Understand why Smokers’ Lines Occur

Remember those tricky, difficult-to-detect effects of smoking on your skin we just told you about? Let’s understand them in a little more detail.

i. Deeper and Thicker Wrinkles

Tobacco smoke causes “Oxidative Stress” (which means, it saps oxygen levels) in the individual cells of your skin that contain collagen. And if you know a thing or two about collagen, it is one of the main proteins responsible for maintaining your skin’s suppleness and firmness.

The result, as expected, is the deepening and thickening of all manner of wrinkles not just on the face but the neck as well as the décolleté!

ii. Impaired Skin Barrier

Nicotine, the actual stimulant within tobacco, promotes the “apoptosis” of Keratinocytes. Now what are Keratino-cytes? These are specialised cells that form your skin’s protective moisture barrier. Great, so what’s “apoptosis” then—you may ask?

Well, apoptosis is a scientific term that more or less describes cell death. So, yes. Nicotine essentially causes the death of these crucial cells that maintain your skin barrier.

iii. Dullness and Uneven Skin Tone

Another consequence of smoking is hyperpigmentation (or skin darkening) due to the increase of Melanocytes. Melano-cytes are the cells that regulate the pigment that gives every one of us our unique skin colour. The oxidative stress that smoking is known to cause can also lead to significant dullness and an uneven skin tone due to restricted blood flow to the skin.

We now know as you step into your 40s, your body naturally begins to produce less of both collagen and elastin which can lead to wrinkles and a loss of that natural firmness and suppleness.

But while you can’t hit the rewind button and magically go back to your 20s—there are ways you can protect your skin and give it the loving nourishment it needs to reduce the signs of ageing and the look of skin damage!

For smokers and non-smokers alike, the key to managing these unwanted signs of ageing, lies in making proactive, longevity-focused skincare choices.

And no, this doesn’t mean turning to invasive or expensive treatments—but embracing the wisdom of Mother Nature herself.

How?

By using timeless, time-tested ingredients revered in the ancient holistic practice of life and wellness—having both withstood the rigours of time(over 5,000 years and counting) as well as the precise scrutiny of modern-day science—Ayurveda.

2. Reduce the Look of Wrinkles and Bring Back Your Radiant Glow—
with 3 Powerful Ayurvedic Ingredients!

In Ayurveda, there are 3 ingredients in particularthat 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!)

These are:
1. Saffron – “Red Gold”
2. Turmeric – “The Golden Spice”
3. Rose Water – “The Queen Of Flowers”

Let’s start with Saffron.

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 skindue to smoking or simply due to natural ageing—turmeric is a must-have in your skincare routine.  

And lastly, the third ingredient is Rose, aka the Queen of Flowers!

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.

Frankincense Oil [Boswellia Sacra]

Known as an Ayurvedic skin toner, frankincense essential oil helps protect skin cells and tighten pores.

Its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation and swellings, too.

When paired with nourishing carrier oils, frankincense gives ageing skin an instant firmer, lifted look while guarding against future sagging.

Neroli Oil [Citrus Aurantium]

Distilled from bitter orange blossoms, neroli oil dramatically awakens the look of mature skin with its natural collagen-boosting and skin cell-regenerating abilities.

Its sweet, freshly floral aroma also signals relaxation to calm the mind.

And by lowering cortiso l, neroli oil also works to minimise stress-induced irrititation.

Lime Oil [Citrus Aurantifolia]

The sharp, citrusy scent of lime essential oil perks up the spirit while bringing its antiseptic, astringent properties to mature skin.

Its peel is packed with antioxidant vitamin C to neutralise ageing free radicals and boost collagen production.

Lime oil gently tightens enlarged pores, tackles uneven texture, and brightens dull tones. Its cleansing action leaves skin sparkling fresh.

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 deeperto 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

How to Incorporate these Potent yet Gentle Ingredients from Nature into Your Daily Skincare Routine

Now that you have our secrets to naturally reduce the appearance of wrinkles and keep skin damage caused by smoking and ageing at bay—you might want to whip up your own face oil!


And you could…

But bear in mind that saffron is the most expensive spice in the world (it can cost THOUSANDS per kilo) and turmeric gets messy and can stain your hands and anything you touch while preparing it.



Plus, while rose water is cheap and easy to source, the real magic is in rose essential oil, as it gives a collagen-rich look.



But like saffron, rose essential oil can be expensive to buy given how labour-intensive the production process is.


Plus, if you were to make your own face oil using saffron, rose oil, rose water, turmeric and sesame oil, you’d need to know the EXACT quantities to ensure you get the best results without making your skin overly oily, stained or even irritated.

So to save yourself the mess, fuss and time you’d spend sourcing and making an oil like this yourself… there is another solution that’s also kind on your purse strings too.
