They are called "lip masks" and are made by many different manufacturers. The one I stumbled on is by "Miss Spa" pictured here. I found this at my grocery store!

@simplyfriends  I love powdered collagen! I've used Swanson brand Collagen Hydrolysate powder every day for about a year and it works wonders in providing nutrients and strength to my hair, skin, nails and aids in muscle repair after intense workouts.  I bought it last year after I really injured my knee doing bodybuilding and heavy sets on the leg press machine. I wanted to repair torn muscles in my knee from that injury by regularly taking collagen and now I have zero knee pain after that bad knee tear.  I'm a major collagen believer!

Isn't it amazing how many "helpers" are out there? 

My nails are long and strong and my hair is lots better too because of collagen!

When I look at pictures from "the olden days" of women my age I now understand why they look so OLD. They didn't have these supplements available back then!

@LTT1  So many great helpers on QVC! I learn new things everyday on these forums .  I don't even need a dermtologist because all of you QVC ladies lead me into the right direction!

If something along the gumline softened lip line, I surely wouldn't have them having worn a retainer at night for several years now.

@Desertdi   Good morning Di. I think sometimes the filler can form little lumps in that area, too. I wouldn't do it either.

@LTT1   I've always wondered- how do you use those lip masks? I bought one and didn't know if I should lie down really still on my back and put it on my mouth or purse my lips with it partially in my mouth- so I just pursed my lips for about 20 minutes with it in my mouth .  I think that I wore it the wrong way!

@SportyShorty07 

When I have used it I have mostly been reclining!

However, it was "wet" enough that I could get up and walk around.

I would try not to "purse" my lips because that is what causes lip lines in the first place! [as in drinking from straws]

After I use the hydrocolloid mask, I place it on my chest where I'm have a "spot" because of my autoimmune rash ILichen planus". The hydrocolloid products that are available are very good for helping these areas to heal!

@LTT1  Thank you for clarifying how to use those lip masks- I definitely defeated the purpose of it by pursing my lips the one time that I tried them!  Before I came up with the incorrectlip pursing technique, I kept laughing trying to wear it sitting up while watching TV because it would flop onto my jeans, onto the couch or onto the floor and I kept trying to put it back onto my mouth- the things I try for beauty !  That is such an inventive way for you to use the hydrocolloid mask on a rash flare up- its a MacGyver style repurposing of a lip mask and very creative of you!
