Gymnastics for nasolabial folds, exercises, patch fillers. How to get rid of at home

The nasolabial folds are a pair of thin grooves extending from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth. They are especially pronounced during a smile. The older the person, the stronger they appear, respectively, and masking wrinkles becomes more difficult. In the fight against this problem, a whole range of actions is needed – gymnastics, massage and the use of cosmetics.

Symptoms

In fact, nasolabial folds are deep wrinkles that are laid at a young age. While the skin has good elasticity, they are hidden, but as they grow older, the nasolabial folds appear more and more.

Usually, this aesthetic problem is characteristic of smiling, emotional, and active facial expressions – when you smile, your cheeks rise higher, as a result of which the nasolabial folds deepen.

There are 3 types of folds:

• hatch. It is a slightly noticeable wrinkle on the skin, which can be eliminated by superficial correction;
• GAP fold. It is formed due to age-related aging and a decrease in the subcutaneous fat layer;
• gradient wrinkle – a type of nasolabial fold, which is the most difficult to get rid of. It occurs due to a sharp difference between the lip and cheek.

Reasons for the appearance

Nasolabial folds, like any other wrinkles, appear due to age-related skin changes. If a person regularly performs massage and gymnastics for the muscles of the face, then the appearance of a problem can be delayed. However, there are additional provoking factors.

Dashed folds may appear if not properly maintained. It is important not only to take care of the skin of the face, but also to do it correctly. Do not stretch and massage the skin strongly or pick up products that are not suitable for the type of skin.

The appearance of GAP folds can be caused by the following reasons:

• sharp weight loss. The appearance of folds is caused by the rapid loss of subcutaneous fat, to which the skin is not able to quickly adjust. As a result, full cheeks are replaced by saggy skin;
• dehydration. Dermatologists do not stop recalling how important it is to maintain water balance in the body and drink more water;
• environmental impact. The skin condition may worsen as a result of frequent and prolonged exposure to the sun, poor ecology and sudden changes in temperature.

The following factors affect the appearance of gradient wrinkles:

• heredity. Of great importance are the genetic predisposition, the anatomical features of the face and skull. The formation of a malocclusion or protruding cheeks can cause the nasolabial folds to be laid in childhood;
• incorrect position during sleep – face in the pillow. If you do not change the usual position, facial wrinkles will appear at a young age;
• bad habits – alcohol and tobacco addiction.

Prevention

Beauticians advise starting to care for the skin of the face, neck and decollete as early as possible. This will prevent the formation of nasolabial folds.

As a preventive measure, the following measures should be taken:

• protect the skin from UV rays. The big mistake is to use products with SPF protection only while on the beach. Ultraviolet light destroys cells, even if a person just jogs, so you should use sunscreens daily. Arriving for a long time in the sun, you need to use products with the highest possible degree of protection, as well as refresh the coating every 2 hours;
• moisturize the skin. You must regularly use means that retain moisture. These are creams, serums and lotions with hyaluronic acid, chitosan and glycerin in the composition;
• use protection against free radicals. From the age of 20, it is necessary to use cosmetics with antioxidants, plant extracts and vitamin complexes. They protect tissues from free radicals – the main enemies of youth;
• Carefully care for your skin. No need to usd your face during water procedures, just get your skin wet. Beauticians note that the less a person touches a face during the day, the better – the risk of bacteria entering is less;
• choose the right sleeping position. It is necessary to take the habit of sleeping lying on your back, so you can avoid the early appearance of wrinkles not only on the face, but also in the decollete.
