A person's face is an open book of his life. You look at one and see how joyful the days were, and the other tells about the hardships experienced. Wrinkles become carriers of information. The more of them there are around the eyes and on the forehead, the more reasons to think about what has gone wrong in a person’s life. Even in a photo, wrinkles on the face look unattractive, but in life their presence upsets, spoils the mood, leads to depression. nervous breakdowns. We really want to prolong youth and delay the formation of deep folds on the forehead or nets around the eyes, and to do this we will have to study the reasons for their appearance, methods of treatment and think about early prevention.

Causes

No matter how much you want to stay young longer, grooves appear on your face here and there. The aging process is inevitable, it will still happen to everyone. But some people already after 20 have a visible network of wrinkles around their eyes on their face, while others remain youthful and attractive even at 50. The factors influencing negative impact on the processes occurring with the skin. The formation of longitudinal and transverse folds is influenced by many reasons:

Age. Over the years, elastin production decreases and the structure of the skin deteriorates significantly. They become tired, lose elasticity, tone, but acquire a yellowish tint and many wrinkles, which are barely noticeable at first, and then become deeper.

Lifestyle. By leading an unhealthy lifestyle, a person risks his health. The first imprint of trouble in the body is left on the skin. The reason for its withering is the lack of walks in the fresh air, smoking, constant lack of sleep, nervous shock, consumption of alcohol in large quantities, and fatigue.

Excessive facial expressions. There are people who frown, expressing surprise, dissatisfaction, and squint while examining objects. The result of this behavior is the appearance in early age facial wrinkles ok near the eyes, on the forehead.

Diseases. Not all, but many gastrointestinal diseases affect the condition of the skin. This also includes gynecological diseases, central nervous system disorders and malfunctions endocrine system. Particularly dangerous for the skin are skin diseases(furunculosis).

Excessive sun exposure. UV rays have a negative effect on collagen. It is gradually destroyed, and the elasticity of the upper layer of the dermis decreases.

Diets. Incorrectly selected diet, restriction in healthy products causes a deficiency of protein needed by the skin. The production of elastin and collagen immediately decreases, which leads to changes on the face.

Not proper care . The choice of cosmetics plays an important role. Lack of nutrients in the skin leads to its withering and aging.

Types of wrinkles

What are called in one word wrinkles look completely different. You can consider their classification, distinguishing between the types and types of wrinkles.

By place of education may be on different parts faces as seen in the photo:

• at the eyes;
• on the forehead;
• at the wings of the nose;
• on the cheeks;
• between the eyebrows;
• on the chin;
• on the neck, in the décolleté area;
• at the mouth.

By depth:

• superficial - appear early with a lack of nutrition for the skin;
• deep - folds reach the hypodermis, occur at different ages;
• medium-deep - develop in the absence of a fight against superficial ones, reaching the middle layers of the skin.

By nature of manifestation:

• statistical - noticeable all the time;
• dynamic - appear only when muscle activity occurs.

Due to education:

• facial expressions - from excessive muscle work;
• gravitational - due to sagging skin (often with sudden weight loss);
• age-related - natural during the aging of the body.

How to get rid of wrinkles: treatment and procedures

Aesthetic medicine offers a range effective procedures to get rid of wrinkles. Each technique is good in its own way, but cannot permanently get rid of the wrinkles that have formed on the face, so it is necessary to periodically repeat the procedures or alternate them. Girls and ladies in adulthood, as well as many men, want to get rid of wrinkles quickly. Money and experienced specialists will help with this.

It is carried out using sea salt, coffee grounds, semolina, honey. You can periodically clean off the top keratinized layer of skin with a hard washcloth.

Botulinum therapy. The anti-aging procedure shown in the photo is based on subcutaneous injections that block the facial muscles that are responsible for facial expressions. The most common drugs are Dysport, Lantox, Xeomin, Botox.

Mesotherapy. Contour plastic involves filling wrinkles hyaluronic acid. The substance is capable of holding water molecules. Thanks to this, there is always a sufficient amount of moisture in the epidermis. Skin stays young longer. Hyaluronic acid is administered as an injection under the skin. On its basis, the drugs Perlane and Restylane were developed. It is included in many creams (Lora, Cora, Evelyn, Vichy).

Plastic surgery. An extreme measure for removing deep wrinkles. They resort to it in adulthood. Surgical intervention allows you to tighten the skin and remove its excess (cut off). The effect lasts up to 10 years.

Threadlifting with 3D mesothreads. Self-absorbable biological fibers are injected under the skin, creating an internal framework that gives the skin support.

Lipofilling. The patient's own fat is transplanted to areas where there are wrinkles, filling the empty space. The procedure is minimally invasive and is performed under local anesthesia, most often in conjunction with liposuction. The aspirated fat is pre-cleaned and then injected under the skin of the face or neck with thin cannulas.

Hardware lift. Special procedures for treating skin against wrinkles using medical technology. They improve the condition of the dermis. The skin is exposed to currents, magnetic fields, ultrasonic and light waves, heat, cold, etc. The most common procedures:

How much does plastic surgery cost? I want to tighten my skin. Wrinkles appeared early.

Wrinkles can only be hidden with cosmetics, powder, foundations. But they cannot be completely removed except by surgical methods.

Elizabeth, you can. Wrinkles can be removed by simple means. Healing herbs, I use the berries to make oils and use them. There are a lot of recipes.

I think that it is necessary to lead a healthy lifestyle and completely remove all bad habits from life. Also follow a daily routine and relax, spend more time in the fresh air. A healthy sleep is a must.

Elizabeth- 12 Sep 2018, 08:52

I am already convinced that no cosmetics can even out the skin. Only plastic surgery. You can rejuvenate your skin, but no more.

Alice- 06 Sep 2018, 23:18

She had plastic surgery two years ago. Paid a lot of money. The face is perfect. Before this, no methods for wrinkles helped.

Asya- 05 Sep 2018, 17:31

No, wrinkles can only be eliminated through plastic surgery. This is a natural process. You won't be able to fight it with creams alone.

I have deep wrinkles on my forehead. I changed my hairstyle, but it’s still visible. Nothing helps. They recommend plastic surgery. There is no money for it. What else can you do?

Skin aging is an inevitable age-related process that, unfortunately, cannot be completely stopped. One of its direct consequences is the formation of folds of varying lengths and depths on the face and body, the fight against which has become the main task of aesthetic cosmetology and surgery.

Types and types of wrinkles are divided into several groups, depending on their time of occurrence, depth and location, reasons for formation. They are most clearly visible on the face, neck and décolleté, and hands, that is, in areas with minimal subcutaneous fat thickness and increased motor activity of adjacent muscles.

Why does our skin lose its original smoothness so quickly and what can be done about it? Which changes will you have to come to terms with, and which are completely reversible? Which procedures will help and which will not give the desired effect? the site tells and shows:

How, when and why do wrinkles appear?

For most people, the first signs of skin aging appear at the age of 20-25. Visually, they are still practically invisible, but it is at this age that the skin begins to lose moisture and tone, and its ability to regenerate decreases. Various fuels are added to the fire negative factors, both external and internal:

• Various lifestyle deficiencies: stress, chronic overwork and lack of sleep, constant contact with dry and/or polluted air, low mobility, proper nutrition, bad habits.
• Increased load on facial muscles (professional, for example, among announcers, or the usual everyday habit of actively grimacing)
• Insufficient or improper care skin care, incl. use of low-quality decorative cosmetics, selection of creams that are not suitable for skin type, etc.
• Sharp weight fluctuations during weight loss, pregnancy, hormonal changes
• Intense exposure to ultraviolet radiation - whether from a solarium or the sun
• Heredity, etc.

It is quite possible to limit the impact of these circumstances, but it is almost impossible to completely avoid it. As a result, already at the age of 25-35, shallow irregularities in the form of grooves appear on the most vulnerable areas of the skin. They can be easily treated with home or professional salon care. But age inevitably takes its toll, and by the age of 35-40, wrinkles begin to increase and join, in some places turning into quite deep creases. To correct them at this stage, more serious methods will be needed: injections, hardware cosmetology, plastic surgery.

What are the types of wrinkles?

There is no single, unambiguously approved classification that would include all our skin folds. However, cosmetologists and aesthetic surgeons distinguish several dozen main types - depending on their depth, cause of occurrence and location. And this is not just theoretical research, but a completely serious basis for prescribing one or another anti-aging procedure: for example, eyebrow folds are well corrected with Botox, but this drug is absolutely useless for smoothing the skin on the hands. So, wrinkles differ:

By depth:

• Superficial or epidermal - look like thin lines, located in the epidermis. Most often they appear due to insufficient hydration.
• Medium-deep - reach the middle layers of the skin (dermis), appear as a result of the development and deepening of the epidermal.
• Deep - are pronounced relief folds; changes affect the middle and deep layers of the skin down to the hypodermis.

By location:

• There are horizontal lines on the forehead, a direct consequence of our facial expressions. They are also called “anxious” because they appear as a result of emotions such as excitement and anger;
• (“wrinkles of pride” or “wrath”) - large vertical folds that appear when the eyebrows move, as well as small folds on the upper part of the bridge of the nose.

• on the nose - “rabbit's feet” - diverge from the center of the bridge of the nose to the lower eyelids or cheeks, becoming especially noticeable when we squint or frown;
• periorbital - . These are, firstly, “crow’s feet”, which diverge from the outer corners of the eyes, and secondly, folds on the upper and lower eyelids;

• - runs from the inner corners of the eyes towards the cheekbones;
• on the cheeks - skin deformations of various types and depths (depending on the general anatomy of the face), best visible when smiling;

• - large creases extending from the wings of the nose to the corners of the lips;
• around the lips there are purse-string wrinkles - vertical folds above the upper lip, and sometimes also under the lower; wrinkles in the corners of the mouth and “marionettes” - folds running from the corners of the lips to the chin;
• on the chin - here, as a rule, small skin irregularities appear with age;

• on the neck - “rings of Venus” - long horizontal folds;
• etc.

Due to the formation of wrinkles, they are divided into:

• Mimic - appear on areas of the skin closely connected with the facial muscles, which are responsible for the expression of emotions.
• Gravitational - are formed as a result of sagging (ptosis) of the skin - drooping corners of the eyes and mouth, nasolabial folds, “puppet lines”, etc.
• Age-related (senile) - occur throughout skin naturally as a result of chronoaging.

By nature of behavior:

• Dynamic - appear and disappear depending on muscle activity; in a relaxed state they are invisible.
• Static - persist even in a state of muscle rest.

And how to get rid of them?

Skin smoothing is one of the main areas of aesthetic medicine, so a huge number of effective ways to combat wrinkles on the face and body have been developed. Among them there are both universal ones and those that are designed to eliminate wrinkles of one specific type and localization. Most often this is:

Problem	The most effective procedures
Small “dry” folds on the face, neck, hands, and décolleté	Shallow peels - chemical, laser, microdermabrasion
Eyebrow wrinkles and some wrinkles on the bridge of the nose, crow's feet, drooping corners of the lips	Botulinum therapy - injections of botulinum toxin type A (Botox, Dysport, etc.)
Nasolabial folds, tear troughs and other wrinkles caused by age and/or gravitational ptosis	Contour plastic surgery with hyaluronic acid fillers, lipofilling. For obvious ptosis - thread or hardware lift (all these procedures combine well with each other and are often used in combination)
Deep age-related folds combined with pronounced sagging skin	Surgical lift. For optimal effect, can be supplemented with one or more of the above-mentioned cosmetic procedures

At the same time, it is important to understand that:

• None of these methods will get rid of wrinkles forever. The duration of the result may vary - from 3-6 months to several years, but sooner or later you will need to take your skin seriously again.
• Professional procedures must be supported by regular home care and general care for your health, otherwise the resulting effect will not last long.
• You can cope with deep age wrinkles only with the help of surgical lifting - a serious operation with general anesthesia and long period recovery (as a rule, it is performed on patients aged 45 years and older). There are no non-surgical alternatives comparable in effectiveness. At the same time, after such plastic surgery you should not expect completely smooth skin; it is aimed at overall facial rejuvenation, and individual problem areas will need to be corrected pointwise, for example, with the help of hyaluronic injections or lipofilling.

The last word in choosing a technique usually remains with a specialist - a cosmetologist and a plastic surgeon - who makes a decision during an in-person consultation, having examined the condition of the skin, anatomical features the patient and related problems (and they almost always exist). Here's what it has to offer:

Methodology	What's the point?	How will it help?
	Injections of compound cocktails based on hyaluronic acid (HA), also containing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, etc. Mainly used to improve problematic skin.	Deep folds will not go away, but it is quite possible to get rid of a network of fine wrinkles on the face, neck, décolleté and hands.
	Injections of monopreparations based on hyaluronic acid. Is used for deep hydration skin.
	GK injections performed using special techniques to strengthen the skin framework, lift it, increase tone and elasticity.	Elimination of changes caused by gravitational ptosis of the skin in initial stage
	Introduction of gels based on high molecular weight HA high density, which fill hollow subcutaneous areas.	Spot filling of wrinkles of any depth, mainly used for working on the face and hands. Reduces the severity of deep folds, completely removes small and medium ones.
	Transplantation of the patient's own fat cells, previously taken from the abdomen or thighs, sometimes additionally enriched with stem cells
	Injections of purified botulinum toxin type A. Blocks nerve signals in facial muscles, due to which the skin adjacent to them is smoothed	Considered one of the best options to combat expression wrinkles (around the eyes, on the forehead and bridge of the nose, between the eyebrows, around the mouth), but in other cases there will be no effect
	Intravenous or subcutaneous administration of ozone. General rejuvenation and healing of the skin, improvement of local metabolism.	They improve the quality of the skin and can help smooth it, but as independent anti-wrinkle treatments they are ineffective
	Injections of the patient's own purified and platelet-rich plasma.
	Exposure of muscles and subcutaneous tissues to low-intensity alternating current. Improves local metabolism and muscle tone.
	Installation of biodegradable (absorbable) threads to tighten the skin and form a “framework” of connective tissue.	Good tightening soft fabrics, reduces the severity of gravitational changes at the initial stage. Ineffective for significant ptosis and excess skin.
(ultrasonic, radio wave, laser)	Impact on the deep layers of the skin using ultrasound, radio waves or laser radiation. Provides a lifting effect, stimulates the body's production of its own collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid.	Reducing the severity of any wrinkles on the face and body (small ones disappear completely, medium and deep ones become less noticeable).
(chemical, laser, dermabrasion, etc.)	Controlled damage to the skin, due to which active regeneration processes are launched with the formation of fresh cells.
ELOS therapy	Simultaneous exposure to light and heat energy for skin rejuvenation
Phototherapy	Exposure to light energy to stimulate the production of your own collagen, elastin and HA.
	Gentle option laser peeling skin in order to create microzones of enhanced regeneration in it.
Plastic surgery	Skin tightening (lifting) on ​​any area of ​​the face or body	Smoothing out wrinkles that appear due to sagging and stretching of the skin. When working with the face, simultaneous tightening of the subcutaneous tissues is often carried out, due to which the duration of the result is significantly increased.

Condition of facial skin after surgical lifting:

The causes of wrinkles on the face are varied. They are indicated on the skin in the form of longitudinal and transverse folds and grooves. Starting from birth, the dermis regularly undergoes changes, and over time it fades. But age is not the main cause of wrinkles. They can also appear in young people with overly mobile facial muscles.

Before declaring war on age-related and facial changes in the skin, you need to find out what they are and the main reasons for their occurrence.

In order to somehow classify wrinkles and assign them to a certain type, pay attention to their number, size, skin characteristics, and age.

Separation by location:

• frontal or they are also called “alarming” in the form of horizontal grooves on the forehead;
• nasolabial or “sad” - folds running from the nostrils to the corners of the lips;
  
• “crow’s feet” localized around the eyes;
  
• along the lacrimal gland, forming bags under the eyes;
  
• interbrow (“lion’s”);
  
• around the lips and on the chin (“purse string”, “puppets”), manifested by vertical small folds;
  
• cervical or “rings of Venus”.
  

By severity:

• superficial (epidermal);
• deep.

Epidermal changes are associated with dry skin and facial changes. They appear in the form of a mesh, which makes the skin look like parchment. Deep deformation occurs in the dermis and subcutaneous fatty tissue and makes the skin flabby and stretched.

Due to appearance:

• facial expressions associated with human behavior, expressive movements of facial muscles;
• static, arising under the influence of gravity and appearing, for example, after sleeping in one position;
• age-related, caused by a slowdown in the body’s production of new cells.

Factors causing wrinkles

For each person, the factors influencing the appearance of wrinkles are highly individual. This may be one reason or a whole complex.

1. Heredity. The most common reason is genetic predisposition. This often explains the early appearance of wrinkles.
2. Facial expressions. The face is a part of the body that is always open and exposed to various external factors. It is what expresses all our emotions throughout life. Thanks to the contraction of facial muscles, a person expresses his mood and inner feelings. With repeated repetition of the same mechanical loads, first insignificant and then more and more obvious networks of wrinkles appear. Skin folds stop straightening out by the age of 20. Expression wrinkles can be a consequence of professional stress, for example, among actors, musicians playing wind instruments.
3. Health. Often causes of facial wrinkles related to human health. So, they can appear due to rapid and significant weight loss. A strict diet and fasting are stressful for the body. He is forced to take nutrients from the subcutaneous tissue without receiving them from the outside. And since the hypodermis in the facial area is looser in structure, it suffers first of all.
4. Stress. But the greatest influence is emotional condition. Stress has become an integral part of life and a destructive factor affecting the condition of the skin. This is explained by the fact that during periods of emotional discomfort, adrenaline and stress hormones are released in the body, which “push” blood to the internal organs. The skin feels a lack of blood. She does not receive enough oxygen and nutrients. Constant worries are one of the main factors in the appearance of early wrinkles.
5. Ecology. Modern ecological situation has an aggressive effect on the skin. For this reason, the early appearance of wrinkles is one of the consequences of the influence of natural conditions and the ecological state of the environment.
6. Ultraviolet radiation. Everyone knows that sunlight promotes the synthesis of vitamin D in the body. But there is also back side- solar radiation causes deterioration of the skin condition and the appearance age spots. The fact is that UV rays destroy the intercellular structure and collagen molecules.
7. Physiology. The skin of the face is the first to show age. Over time, the production of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid, which contribute to the firmness and elasticity of the dermis, slows down. In addition, after 40 years, the epidermis begins to dehydrate, and surface dead cells stop exfoliating. From all these factors, the skin begins to sag, and fine wrinkles around the eyes, longitudinal on the forehead, which become more prominent over time.

Little-known causes of premature wrinkles

1. Incorrect position while sleeping. Creases in the neck and décolleté appear when sleeping on a high pillow. This is the result of the chin falling towards the chest and folds forming on the skin. To avoid the early appearance of wrinkles, you should choose pillows whose height should be equal to the width of your shoulder - this is approximately 10-14 cm. If you have formed the habit of sleeping on your back, then preference should be given to a hard pillow or bolster.
2. Cocktail straws and cigarettes. When a person drinks a drink with a straw or takes a drag from a cigarette, the orbicularis oris muscle contracts and pulls the skin along with it. And when with age the dermis ceases to be elastic, it does not recover well from such movements. For this reason, wrinkles appear, which are called purse-string or smoker's wrinkles.
3. Malocclusion. The types of pathologies of the relative position of the upper and lower jaws are different. It happens that the upper jaw protrudes significantly beyond the lower jaw, then it becomes very tense upper lip. As a result, folds appear in the nasolabial triangle. If the jaw does not close in the central area or in the lateral parts, the effect of sunken cheeks occurs, which causes the formation of wrinkles.
4. Improper use of cosmetics at home. Basic skin care at home should consist of three stages:

• Cleansing of traces of cosmetics and dead skin flakes to stimulate skin renewal.
• Toning, enhancing the cleansing effect and balancing the pH level.
• Moisturizing is necessary for both dry and oily skin.

Many people try to prevent the appearance of wrinkles by using cosmetics, mainly decorative ones, but they do this mistakenly. Most often, they do not follow the sequence of steps described above, neglecting morning cleansing or applying cosmetics incorrectly. This neglectful attitude causes wrinkles to appear.

Tips from cosmetologists correct use cream:

• The product is distributed with the middle and ring fingers over massage lines from the center of the forehead to the periphery, from the nose to the temple, from the chin to the ears.
• On the neck, the cream is spread from bottom to top in front, from top to bottom in back.
• The cream is applied to the area around the eyes ring fingers patting movements. The lower eyelid from the periphery to the center, the upper from the nose to the outer corner of the eye. At the same time, cosmetics for the eyes should not be the same as for the face.

Important! It is highly not recommended to use moisturizing creams if the air in the room where most of the time is spent is dry. Such creams take water from where it is. If there is no moisture in the environment, it is taken from the skin.

1. Sugar. Excessive consumption of glucose triggers the process of glycation in tissues, which is one of the reasons for the early appearance of wrinkles. As a result of this chemical reaction, a glucose molecule attaches to collagen proteins and forms cross-linked collagen, which is less elastic. The dermis loses elasticity, firmness and healthy shine. It is believed that daily norm sugar consumption is about 50 grams. (takes into account sugar, which is in all foods consumed per day). So, sweet lovers provoke the appearance of early changes in skin texture.

Preventing wrinkles

The appearance of a network of wrinkles cannot be avoided, but there is a chance to delay this moment.

There is no exact figure that would determine the age of a person when he should begin active preventive work. But by the age of thirty, the elasticity and firmness of the skin is lost.

Following these recommendations will help prevent the appearance of wrinkles:

• To give up smoking.
• Usage sunscreen with prolonged exposure to sunlight.
• Control over facial expressions.
• Increased stress resistance.
• Conducting special facial exercises.
• Face massage.
• Balanced, proper nutrition that provides cells necessary substances for the production of protein fibers. Must be included in diet olive oil, containing monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamins, fatty varieties of sea fish rich in polyunsaturated acids. Green tea and dry red wine, containing antioxidants, also prevent skin aging.
• Be sure to drink at least 2 liters of water per day.
• Use a humidifier in the room. Air humidity should be 50-60%.
• Carry out morning peeling of the skin using a scrub, washcloth, and massage gloves.

Prevention of facial wrinkles is not only the use of cosmetic anti-aging products, but also a healthy lifestyle, as well as emotional balance.

Ways to eliminate wrinkles

IN at a young age When changes in the dermal layer are not so pronounced, sometimes it is enough to systematize proper care and use medications recommended by a cosmetologist.

Cosmetology today has a rich arsenal of means, methods, and technical capabilities for correcting skin texture.

The most common methods:

• Vacuum massage.
• Laser resurfacing.
• Myostimulation (electrotherapy).
• Dermabrasion ( mechanical peeling).
• Thermolifting.
• Threadlifting with 3D mesothreads.
• Biorevitalization.
• Contour plastic using Botox, Dysport, synthetic hyaluronic acid.

The above procedures, based on hardware and injection techniques, are effective methods eliminating fine wrinkles around the eyes, facial changes in the forehead and the nasolabial triangle area. But they in no way exclude independent daily care for the skin.

In case of severe wrinkles, their elimination is possible surgically. Facial plastic surgery gives a long-lasting effect, but does not exclude complications that affect not only the skin, but also health in general. Therefore, eliminating the causes that cause the early appearance of wrinkles plays an important role in combating changes in facial skin texture.

If you notice the first wrinkles appearing, do not rush to get scared. They are not always a sign of aging! Are you familiar with the habits of furrowing your eyebrows, wrinkling your forehead, squinting your eyes, and making funny faces? They are the ones that lead to the formation of facial wrinkles. Fun get-togethers, quarrels, troubles - all this leaves its mark!

What are expression lines?

We experience and express a wide variety of feelings all the time, so the muscles in our faces are constantly contracting. In youth, the grooves that appear in this case smooth out immediately after we relax our face. However, over time, traces in the form of small wrinkles begin to remain. This problem worries most of all those who have dry skin. Due to a lack of moisture, it is difficult for it to maintain firmness and elasticity, which means that over time it becomes increasingly difficult for the skin to recover from deformations, especially with active facial expressions.
Typically, expression wrinkles form in the corners of the eyes, on the back of the nose, in the forehead, and in the nasolabial area. Wrinkles in the corners of the eyes are a sign that a person laughs often. Wrinkles on the nose are called “tragic”, and vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows are called “stressful”, because they occur when a person is very worried about something.

Why do expression lines appear?

Various factors contribute to their appearance:

1. Overly active facial expressions. Using the same facial expressions leads to sad consequences. Try to get rid of them!

2. The habit of drinking through a straw. It's convenient, but harmful. If you repeat this gesture often, you can become the “lucky” owner of many noticeable wrinkles around your mouth. It's not easy to hide them!

3. Smoking, “thanks to” which you can get the same wrinkles.

4. Neglect of sunglasses. They help prevent squinting in the sun and protect against harmful UV rays.

5. Due to a lack of nutrients, the use of low-quality cosmetics, bad habits, an unbalanced diet, metabolic disorders, negative external factors (wind, ultraviolet radiation, high humidity, etc.), expression wrinkles deepen.

How to avoid the appearance of expression lines?

1. Give up the habit of violently shifting and raising your eyebrows and wrinkling your forehead.

2. Do massage and regular exercises for your facial muscles. Open your eyes wide, then close them, rotate your eyeballs clockwise and then counterclockwise, and do a light massage with your fingertips. Press the skin near your temples with your fingertips, pull down and, using your neck muscles, pull the skin of your forehead upward. Stay in this position for 2-3 minutes, then relax your muscles. To keep your neck skin toned, do circular movements head.

3. Don't forget to “feed” your skin. Arrange daily nourishing and moisturizing treatments.

4. Sleep in correct position. During sleep, the face should rest freely on the pillow. There is no need to bury yourself in it under any circumstances.

5. Buy only quality decorative cosmetics. Cheap mascaras, shadows, and eyeliners not only look bad (better without them at all!), but also cause considerable harm to the skin.

6. Lead, give up cigarettes and alcohol. Walk in the fresh air every day, avoid stress, don’t torture yourself with overly strict diets, don’t forget about sound, sweet sleep - and beauty is guaranteed to you!
