Redditor System_resident commented their routine on the social media platform.

They candidly explained the signs of aging appearing on their lips with time.

However, they combatted it using chemical exfoliation as well as dermarolling.

Chemical exfoliation is a process that removes dead skin without a mechanical tool such as dermaplaning or a facial sponge.

Dermarolling is a cosmetic technique of using a tool with many small needles on the end of it to create microabrasions on the skin.

The small cuts heal quickly, promoting collagen production and blood flow.

"I had heavy creasing in my lips (never used spf for lips or lip balm regularly for over 20 years), lines, and premature aging (long days at the beach in the sun with not even a hat)," they said.

"By chance, I saw a video on dermarolling and tried it for my lips.

"It worked great."

The beauty pro added how they spruce up their routine with an overnight solution.

"From time to time, I use a bit of glycerin and the Good Molecules Overnight Exfoliating Treatment to exfoliate my lips," they added.

They recommended mixing the two ingredients so they're not overpowering on the pout.

"It’s night and day how my lips look," they gushed.

The Overnight Exfoliating Treatment is $6 form Good Molecules.

In the same thread, other Redditors interested in skincare shared their tips for youthful lips.

"Hydration helps," one wrote. "Hyaluronic acid on your lips and then Vaseline."

"I've noticed my wrinkles don't appear nearly as bad if I choose lip products that are similar to my natural lip color," one more said.

"I still wear bright reds sometimes, but I have to really tend to them because the pigment sinks into my lines."
