  1. Make it a rule to drink at least 2 liters of clean water per day. This will help the body remove toxins and waste and keep the skin toned. But don't drink at night!
  2. Try to get out of the habit of sleeping on your stomach and side, as this contributes to the appearance and deepening of creases and wrinkles. And what is especially catastrophic is asymmetrical (if you constantly sleep on a certain side).
  3. Vegetables, fruits, and foods rich in antioxidants should become the basis of the diet for those who want to maintain youth for a long time.
  4. To care for the skin of the face and neck, use creams that contain alpha hydroxy acids. They promote skin cell renewal.
  5. Remember to regularly use sunscreen when leaving the house. Ultraviolet light is not helpful to the skin.
  6. Make sure to constantly maintain moisture and elasticity of the skin. Using natural oils can be extremely beneficial for your daily care routine.
  7. Face masks should become a mandatory part of your facial skin care ritual - at least 2-3 times a week.

Masks applied to clean, steamed skin will be much more effective than after simply washing or cleaning it with lotion.

Mesoscooters – massage rollers with needles up to 1.5 mm – can help reduce the depth of nasolabial folds. But only with regular use. This becomes possible due to the influx of lymph to the affected areas and filling the grooves with fresh collagen.

How to get rid of nasolabial folds permanently?

The cause of wrinkles in the nasolabial triangle area

Nasolabial folds are wrinkles in the form of longitudinal lines connecting the wings of the nose and the corners of the lips. Their appearance and depth depend on several factors:

anatomical features of the face;

facial muscle tone;

the structure of the facial part of the skull and the dental system.

The main reason for the appearance of nasolabial wrinkles is genetic predisposition © iStock

“Sometimes we ourselves are actively approaching the day when the mirror will not please us with the reflection: sudden weight gain or loss, diets with a small amount of liquid, the habit of sleeping with our face buried in the pillow, and too intense “massage” when applying cosmetics reduce the elasticity of the skin.”

Facial expressions. Especially “obsessive movements”, when a person smiles often and widely, bites his lip or habitually wrinkles his nose.

Smoking. Nasolabial folds form very early in smokers. The kit comes with a “bonus” in the form of purse-string wrinkles.

Incorrect bite or facial features. For example, low and large cheekbones, plump cheeks.

Environmental factors. Ultraviolet radiation, poor ecology and aggressive climate deplete the adaptive reserves of the skin.

The main reason for the appearance of nasolabial wrinkles is a genetic predisposition to the deformational type of aging, when heavy fatty tissue sank, forming a skin pocket, that same fold.

Find out what type of aging you are predisposed to with the help of a test.

How to prevent the formation of nasolabial wrinkles

The formation mechanisms also lead to methods for preventing and correcting nasolabial folds.

Protect your skin from the sun. Do you still think that SPF products are only needed to avoid getting burned while tanning? This is mistake. Ultraviolet radiation is destructive to skin cells not only on the beach. Therefore, you should use sunscreen every day. When on vacation or while playing sports in the sun, use products with the highest protection factor and renew the coating every two hours. For normal city life, SPF 20 is enough. Do you use sunscreen correctly?

Moisturize your skin well. Regularly use products with moisture-retaining components: hyaluronic acid, glycerin or chitosan.

Use free radical protection. Starting from the age of 20–25, include cosmetics with antioxidants (vitamins C and E, plant extracts) in your care. They will help protect tissues from free radicals, the main enemies of youth.

After washing do not rub your face with a towel, just blot your skin with it.

Keep in mind: the use of acids increases photosensitivity, and ultraviolet A rays (the most dangerous for the skin) “work” all year round. So those who regularly exfoliate need sun protection 365 days a year.

Is it possible to get rid of nasolabial folds at home?

The answer to this question is no. When it comes to anti-aging measures, it is clear to everyone that it is much easier to prevent the signs of age than to fight them later. There are a set of measures that will help prevent its occurrence.

Proper skin care
Cosmetics should include powerful moisturizing components, antioxidants, and anti-aging ingredients.

Massage
And this is a specific approach to the problem of nasolabial folds. After all, their formation is directly related to the activity of the facial muscles in this area. By relaxing them in the right way, we improve the condition of the skin by increasing blood and lymph flow, and also prevent the formation of wrinkles in the area. You can take an annual course of manual facial massage in the salon, but you can also do it at home according to our schemes - it takes a few minutes.

Gymnastics
Specific exercises help maintain both muscle elasticity and skin elasticity. All this helps to smooth the skin.

How to get rid of it using cosmetics

You won't be able to get rid of these wrinkles completely, but proper care will help keep your skin in good condition.

The nasolabial fold deepens over the years due to a complex of factors, including a decrease in the elasticity of the skin and its turgor. The problem also needs to be solved comprehensively, including in daily care products that solve different problems.

Moisturizing masks with collagen or hyaluronic acid have a pronounced effect: saturate skin cells with moisture, smooth out wrinkles.

Antioxidant creams and serums inhibit the oxidation process of cells, protecting them from the harmful effects of free radicals and, as a result, from premature aging.

Oils and nourishing creams form a protective film on the surface of the skin that prevents water molecules from evaporating.

Acid serums and peels help eliminate dead cells of the stratum corneum, speed up cell renewal processes and reduce the depth of wrinkles.

Retinol, enzymes, soft acids (glycolic, milk) smooth the skin and promote its renewal.

Hyaluronic acid and collagen provide a pronounced visual effect. These substances do not penetrate deep into the dermis, but form a softening and smoothing film on the surface of the skin.

Molecules of sugars and glycopeptides have a corrective effect due to the ability to penetrate deeper layers of the skin and stimulate collagen synthesis.

Ramnose and proxilan increase the elasticity and density of the skin, “push out” the fold, reducing its depth.
