Why do nasolabial folds appear?
The causes of nasolabial folds are different for all people. Sometimes the appearance of unwanted creases is caused by a lack of skin elasticity and relaxation of the cheek muscles. In other cases, folds appear due to overstrain in the jaws (the bad habit of clenching teeth often and for a long time is affected) - anti-wrinkle exercises are not needed here, but other means should be used.
The most important recommendation for problems in the nasolabial triangle area is to try to keep the lower part of the face in a relaxed state. This natural position looks like this: the lips can be closed (but without tension) or slightly open, and there is a gap between the teeth of the upper and lower jaw, the tongue is slightly pressed to the palate.
Nasolabial folds appear more often and are more pronounced in women with poor posture and the habit of retracting their necks. For such ladies, facial correction using exercises begins with exercises that straighten the back and neck.
Is it possible to remove nasolabial folds with exercises?
There have been no medical studies on the benefits of gymnastics for the face. However, cosmetologists recommend mastering at least a few basic exercises for daily use. Gymnastics will help relax overstrained facial muscles, increase blood circulation and saturate the skin with oxygen.
The most popular facial techniques today are: facial gymnastics, Carol Maggio exercises, Shiatsu massage and Asahi massage. Grieg Childers breathing exercises and Indian massage also help in the fight against wrinkles.
Too active facial expressions cause premature appearance of nasolabial folds and creases
