They’re among the most difficult skincare issues to treat, no matter how on point your skincare routine is. We’re talking about smoker’s lines, which you can get even if you’ve never touched a cigarette, as well as smile lines and nasolabial folds, which are those indented fine lines that begin to appear around the corners of the mouth.
If you’ve always wondered how a professional — one who treats skin issues day in and day out — deals with these skincare complaints, we’ve got the intel for you.
According to Esthetician Gin Amber, these three products are high on her list of must-haves when addressing notoriously difficult skincare issues like smoker’s lines, smile lines, and nasolabial folds.
Frownies Gua Sha Rose Quartz Stone
You’ve probably seen Frownies all over your social media feed. These patches promise to lighten fine lines and wrinkles when worn consistently for a long period of time. But the brand also makes gua sha stones, like this one in rose quartz. When you skin is cleansed and moisturized, it is recommended that you massage your face with the stone, followed their guide to a detailed technique, in order to boost circulation and lymphatic drainage.
According to Frownies, the “gentle scraping” helps contour skin, reduce puffiness, and make your complexion look healthier.

Gin Amber Beauty Derma Roller
Another product you’re likely already familiar with is a derma roller, which is an at-home device that mimics the effects of professional microneedling, albeit with much more subtle results than you may see at a dermatologist’s office. The purpose of derma rolling is to create micro injuries in the skin that encourage new collagen growth — and since collagen is responsible for keeping your skin supple and firm, it makes sense to see why this is sought-after procedure.
This derma roller features 0.25mm needles that are said to be safe, even on sensitive skin. It is recommended that you use it twice weekly and can be used in conjunction with active serums and moisturizers to help encourage products to penetrate better.

Sleep & Glow Omnia Pillow
Getting enough sleep is important for healthy skin, but how you sleep also matters when it comes to avoiding fine lines and wrinkles. The ideal sleep position is on your back, as this won’t cause pressure on your face or creases in your skin. But with this pillow from Sleep & Glow, you can experience crease-free sleep, whether you are on your back or slipping to your side. It features adaptable foam and a foam insert if you want to adjust the height of your pillow. It has a 3D design that is said to minimize compression and skin creasing while you sleep.
At $219, this isn’t a cheap purchase, but it’s one you’ll no doubt use every night.
