So you know how under your nose and above your lip you have that one spot and in that one spot at the sides there are like wrinkles that show like a curving line that's really dark for me. I really want to get rid of it so badly. How?

First and foremost, try to minimize activities that cause you to purse your lips, like smoking, drinking through a straw, or sipping through a very narrow bottle opening, since these things are going to worsen those lines around the mouth. Next, treat the area with excellent anti-aging products. Incorporate an antioxidant into your skincare regimen, such as a cream or serum with vitamin C, vitamin E, and ferulic acid, and use something that helps promote cell turnover and stimulate collagen, such as peptides, alpha hydroxy acids, or retinoids. Finally, invest in a really excellent SPF 30 sunscreen to protect the skin from ongoing sun damage and ultraviolet breakdown of the collagen.

How can I get rid of my forehead wrinkles?
40F, I've had faint forehead lines for decades but they've really deepened into full-on wrinkles the last few years and I don't love it. Maybe this is a silly question, but is there any way to reverse the wrinkles? Or at least keep them from getting deeper? Thank you!

How to get rid of dark circles under my eyes
Hey ya’ll! I feel like the past few years I’ve noticed that I get dark circles under my eyes more often than I used to. It’s kind of at the point where I feel like I notice them every day and they make me look so tired and old and I hate it. I tried moisturizing the area under my eyes every day but it doesn’t really seem to be working. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to fix this? I’d like to get rid of the dark circles permanently (and preferably, naturally), but I’m open to any and all advice. Thanks in advance!

How do you get a strong, sharp jawline?
Hello, everyone. So, I’ve always been a little insecure about my jawline. It sort of blends into my neck and I just don’t think I look very good a lot of the time if I fixate on it. I do fine with dating and stuff, and I think I’m otherwise a pretty attractive person, but my jaw has been bugging me a lot recently. I’d love to have a more chiseled, clean look, but I don’t really know how I could do that. Are there workouts or exercises I can use to improve the shape of my face and strengthen the look of my jawline? What would you do?

How can I lose face fat?
Hi all, so, like the title says, I'd like to know some advice for losing face fat. I'm of average build, even somewhat skinny, but my cheeks and chin have always been chubby and it's always made me really self-conscious. How do you slim down just your face? I just want to like who I see in the mirror.

How do I get rid of blackheads on my nose?
I have a basic skincare routine and wash my face, apply toner, and moisturize every single day. Nothing I do has gotten rid of the blackheads on my nose and they are driving me crazy! What can I do that will actually work to get rid of them?
