Facial exercises for nasolabial folds: gymnastics at home, video

Causes

In addition to the reasons associated with natural aging, the following contribute to the appearance of such folds:

Abuse of alcohol and smoking, which do not have the best effect on the skin’s ability to recover;
Bad ecology;
Sudden weight changes - lovers of extreme diets should remember this;
Recurrent swelling of the face due to excessive salt intake or kidney failure;
Features of the structure of the skull - in such cases there is almost no possibility of getting rid of the defect;
Malocclusion is an abnormal structure of the jaw bones, the absence of teeth leads to hypertonicity of some facial muscles located in the area of the nasolabial triangle;
The habit of sleeping on the stomach, during such sleep the skin becomes deformed and begins to sag;
Fat deposits - subcutaneous fatty tissue with age is grouped on the cheeks in the center of the face and, following the laws of gravity, sags along with the skin;
Active facial expressions - the muscles of the cheeks in such cases experience constant tension, as a result, facial creases are formed;
Neglecting proper facial skin care.

Useful tips

Nasolabial folds are often a reaction to your lifestyle. Before treating your skin in one way or another, think about whether you lead a healthy lifestyle? A simple consultation with a cosmetologist will help you understand the problem.

Do not expose your skin to direct sunlight. In summer, protect it with cream, and don’t forget about hats.

Facebook building: remove defects with physical exercises

Face building, or, in other words, facial structuring, is a practice aimed at muscular training of the face in combination with massage. This is an effective method of combating wrinkles in the nasolabial area and a sagging chin.

To eliminate nasolabial folds, you need to achieve:

Relaxation of facial muscles, their normal tone;
Healing and softening of the skin;
Increase blood circulation;
A sufficient amount of elastin and collagen in the skin;
Optimal saturation with moisture and nutrients.

Many options have been developed for how to remove nasolabial folds at home, and a variety of exercises are used for this. Their overall result is that barely visible wrinkles are removed, and large ones are noticeably smoothed out.

Massage of nasolabial folds: the most effective techniques

When masks and simple preventive gymnastics do not help, it is the turn of the “heavy artillery.” The massage is aimed at relaxing the facial muscles, which improves lymph flow and overall skin condition. Trained muscles will prevent the skin from “falling”, maintaining the oval of the face.

If you do not have the opportunity to visit a cosmetologist and undergo a massage course in a salon, you can do it at home, following the basic rules of any classic massage:

Clean your face of decorative cosmetics using your usual means.
Apply massage oil to your skin so that your fingers can glide over it easily.
Movements should go from the center to the edges.
First make stroking movements, then massaging, and thus alternate them until you have massaged your entire face.
Massage should not be performed if the skin has inflammation, neoplasms, patients with ENT diseases and people who are feeling unwell.
After finishing the procedure, remove any remaining oil from the skin with a napkin.

Now let’s look at the basic techniques that will help remove nasolabial folds at home:

Method 1. Complex from Emma Hardy

This is what I have been using since 2013, I even managed to find the same recording. The technique is absolutely effective - tested on me.

Method 2. Yoga for the face

I also recommend facial yoga performed by Elena Rodicheva. Here I present the first lesson of the complex - it will seem very simple to you. Don’t be lazy - go to her channel and study all the lessons. Already from the third - seemingly simple exercises are very difficult to perform. But very effective!

Method 3. Shiatsu

This is a traditional technique that came to us from Japan, the author is Dr. Takuiro Namikoshi. The main rule is to do everything at the same time, every day. You can do gymnastics anywhere, there is no territorial connection.

The doctor noticed that when pressing on individual points on the human body, the body begins to activate its powers and fight various diseases. We ourselves begin to rub the place that hurts in order to stimulate blood circulation in this area. But we do it unconsciously. Essentially, Shiatsu is a regular acupressure massage, but it has its own characteristics and philosophy.

Dr. Namikoshi argued that tired muscles cannot contract over the years, and this causes wrinkles to appear. Pressing on active points allows you to convert lactic acid into glycol, which restores muscles and leads to smooth out wrinkles.

To do a Shiatsu massage correctly, you need to find 3 main points:

Tenyo. This point is hidden in a dimple located slightly below the earlobe. Exactly where you will feel discomfort when pressed. You should place your middle fingers on both sides there, inhale through your nose, smiling, and exhale through your mouth with a smile, while pressing on these points with your fingers, stay in this position for three seconds. Then relax and repeat twice more. This massage will help you form a beautiful chin shape and remove swelling.
Koryeo. This point is located under the cheekbones, on the line of the eye pupils and wings of the nose. Use three fingers (ring, index, middle) to press on this place and feel pain or discomfort. Do the same as with the teno point, just press down. This complex will help lift your cheeks, smooth out both nasolabial folds and wrinkles, and even cure rhinitis.
Sokkoku. The point hid above the ear, at a distance of two fingers. And again, this will be the point upon which you will feel unpleasant pain when pressed. The massage is carried out with the thumbs. Place them on both sides and press, following the breathing technique described earlier. Only here the pressure should be with a slight upward shift of the skin. Three approaches will help you get rid of pain and tighten your face.

Method 4. Cosmetologist K. Maggio

This is an original aerobics for the face from an American practicing cosmetologist who knows first-hand how to get rid of nasolabial wrinkles. The technique is clearly structured and includes exercises for beginners, a comprehensive program and adapted ones. Each has sections that help deal with a specific problem.

To achieve results, the author strongly recommends following her advice:

Take the starting position before starting each exercise: the stomach is pulled in, the buttocks and thighs are tense.
Work with your imagination, imagining how an energy flow moves through your muscles.
Relax your facial muscles after each exercise - clench your lips tightly and blow through the barrier, feeling the vibration.

Carol Maggio's method has been known for a long time and has good reviews (I haven't used it myself). Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a good Russian-language post describing the exercises on the Internet. Therefore, I recommend turning to her book “Aerobics for the skin and muscles of the face.”

Method 5. Indian acupressure

Involves influencing active points located on the face. The effectiveness of the massage directly depends on the correct treatment of the points. Features of the procedure:

One manipulation cannot last longer than 10 seconds;
The procedure should not cause discomfort;
Massage is done with the index finger and thumb;
A tingling sensation when exposed to active points is acceptable;
Paired points should be worked on simultaneously.

According to the Indian method, each zone is responsible for certain wrinkles:

The zone is the center of the bridge of the nose. Her massage will help get rid of the vertical folds that form on the forehead.
Dots on the cheekbones, under the pupils. Massage will even out skin tone and stimulate collagen production.
Points on the wings of the nose. Anti-aging effect and fight against nasolabial folds.
Zone - eyebrow heads. Massage will help eliminate swelling and lift the eyelids.
Points on the border between the tips of the ears and hair growth. The massage will tighten the oval of the face.
Zone – corners of the eyes. Massage helps normalize blood flow and helps the eyes relax.
Points located in the corners of the lower jaw. Their massage corrects the oval of the chin, gives skin tone, and removes sagging.
Zone – paired active points behind the nostrils. Another way to remove nasolabial folds and stimulate collagen production.
Zone - eyebrow tails. The treatment will allow you to tighten your eyebrows and smooth out facial wrinkles.
The points are above the temples, mixed towards the outer corners of the eye. A massage will saturate the blood with oxygen, improve lymph flow, and lift the drooping corners of the eyes.
The zone is the center of the chin under the lower lip. Massage improves blood circulation and stimulates metabolic processes.
Corners of lips. Proper massage will remove nasolabial folds at home and smooth out small grooves.
The point between the upper lip and nose. It is considered one of the most important. Helps cope with hysteria, relieve stress, and relax facial muscles.
Dimple on the chin. This point is responsible for normal circulation of lymph and blood.

Method 6. Asahi

Another Japanese technique allows you to get rid of age-related changes and swelling on the face. Also known as Zogan (creation of face). It was created by Yukuko Tanake based on ancient Japanese techniques.

The main feature of this type of massage is its strong impact on the facial skin to affect the lymphatic vessels, muscles and bones of the skull.

Asahi will help slow down the aging process of the skin, smooth out existing wrinkles, increase skin elasticity and firmness, make it smooth, get rid of swelling and tighten the contour. Each movement is repeated three times, beginning and ending with stroking. This massage should be performed daily, the duration of the procedure is 10 minutes.

Here are some of the most effective exercises for smoothing nasolabial folds:

Impact on the dimple of the chin. Place the ring and middle fingers of both hands on it. Hold for three seconds. Then outline the mouth on both sides, with strong pressure, connecting your hands at the point between the upper lip and nose. And hold your fingers there for another three seconds. Remember, you need to push hard. Then you sharply remove your fingers and return them to the starting position for the second circle, then for the third. After such an exercise, finishing movements are not performed.
Using strong pressure, massage the wings of the nose, then move to the nose itself and its sides. Then, without reducing the pressure, massage your cheekbones and ears.
Place your chin on your palm. The fingers should “look” at the ear. Now, applying force, move your palm towards your ear. Do the same for the other half of the face.

Method 7. Breathing exercises G. Childres

It is based on the theory of enriching the blood with oxygen, which improves the condition of the skin and makes it elastic. This technique was developed by an ordinary American housewife who was faced with the problem of excess weight and age-related skin changes.

The author draws the attention of his followers to the importance of the preparatory stage:

You need to be calm, concentrate on your breathing and slow it down.
Take as deep and slow a breath as possible to feel your lungs filling with clean air.
Exhale the air also slowly through pursed lips.
Inhale sharply through your nose, without opening your lips, stick out your inflated belly.
Exhale loudly through parted lips. Empty your lungs as much as possible so that your stomach is drawn in so much that you want to stick it from the inside to your spine.
Hold with your stomach pulled in for 10 seconds. More is better. And already at this stage they begin to perform exercises.

In general, any breathing exercises are an excellent way to prevent and combat nasolabial folds both at 20 and at 50, since it involves the facial muscles. Plus, don’t forget the main goal of such exercises is to saturate the body, tissues and muscles with oxygen.

I myself, being a professional trainer, can say the following: in general, bodyflex (and this is actually bodyflex) is very effective, especially for losing weight and tightening muscles. Bodyflex for the face - neither myself nor my colleagues have tried it. Therefore, try it and write about the results.

Prerequisites

There are rules that should be strictly followed before and during gymnastics:

Wash your hands, cleanse your face with gentle cosmetic products suitable for your skin type, lightly moisturize with cream;
Do exercises in a sitting or standing position, being sure to ensure correct posture;
Practice the technique of performing exercises in front of a mirror; you can abandon it only after several months of training;
You cannot stretch the skin too much, movements should be calm and smooth;
At the end of the exercises, a finger shower is necessary - a rejuvenating massage is performed with light tapping movements;
To achieve a quick effect, each exercise is performed with the highest possible tension, which is followed by the same maximum relaxation. Slow exhalation through relaxed lips helps recovery;
The most favorable time to perform exercises for nasolabial folds is in the early morning hours. Classes are also acceptable in the evening, however, there should be at least an hour left before bedtime;
Exercises are carried out constantly, for 10-15 minutes every day;
To monitor the dynamics of the transformation, take a new photo every week and analyze the results.

Classic exercises

Such facial gymnastics improves skin elasticity, tightens it, accelerates collagen synthesis, which helps eliminate unaesthetic folds.

Basic set of exercises:

As far as possible, inflate your cheeks with air and quickly release them - at least 10 times in a row;
Pull your lips out with a tube, stay in this position for a few seconds to feel the tension in the places where your cheeks are sunken. The norm is 10 times;
Place your index fingers at the corners of your lips, overcoming tension, pull them up to lift the convex part of your cheeks, delay for a few seconds (at least 40 times);
Through the lips extended in a tube, repeat the sounds “u”, “a”, “o”, “and” (20 times each);
Having pushed the lower jaw forward, squeeze your lips tightly until the greatest tension in the corners of the mouth (at least 10 times);
Having taken a mouthful of air, move it there alternately to the right cheek, left, up (do this for at least a minute);
Place your middle and index fingers in the area of your cheekbones above the corners of your lips and lift them, overcoming resistance. Having reached maximum tension, stay in this position for 5 seconds (at least 10 times);
With clenched teeth, hold a teaspoon with your lips, imitating a smile (10 times);
Place your palms on your cheeks, your little fingers in the area of the nasolabial folds, lightly press and release (10 times).

A bottle to help

Exercises against nasolabial folds are sometimes quite unusual. At first, you may be surprised by the use of a bottle for this purpose. However, an unusual gymnastic equipment for the face gives really noticeable results. This is evidenced by numerous rave reviews on the Internet.

A small plastic bottle is suitable for exercise. For beginners, half-liter containers are enough. Fill the bottle one third with water, place it on a flat surface and try to lift it without using your teeth and hold it with your lips for at least 20 seconds. The more repetitions, the worse for nasolabial wrinkles.

Next exercise. This time the bottle should be empty and of any size. 2-liter containers have proven well in such cases:

First, the air is exhaled from the lungs;
They cover the bottleneck with just their lips;
Take an extremely deep breath, as a result of which the bottle will begin to shrink. This position must be maintained for 5-10 seconds and only after that exhale;
Repeat the exercise until your lips get tired;
For greater effect, it is a good idea to massage the inner area of the nasolabial folds with your tongue.

Manipulations with the bottle significantly reduce nasolabial folds, restore lost muscle tone, and also help get rid of shallow wrinkles in the cheekbone area.

Getting rid of nasolabial folds without leaving home

The younger you are, the greater your chances of defeating facial wrinkles without resorting to in-office cosmetic procedures that are painful for the family budget. And the main rule in such a fight is prevention. By following simple rules, you can make your life much easier:

Keep your skin toned by washing it regularly with cold water;
Eliminate harmful foods from your diet;
Do gymnastics and self-massage.

Let's take a closer look at the last point. Because it’s one thing to say – do gymnastics, and quite another thing to tell you how to do it in order to get rid of nasolabial folds.

As I mentioned above, the facial muscles also need to be trained so that, first of all, the skin is tightened, and as a result, facial wrinkles are smoothed out. The facial muscles move very little, so first try doing simple facial exercises regularly. You can involve the whole family in this activity; children will especially enjoy these simple exercises. In addition, they will help to cope with some problems of sound pronunciation - combine business with pleasure:

Puff up your cheeks as if you were filling a balloon, and then deflate them sharply;
Take air into your cheeks and try to roll it from one cheek to the other;
Without closing your mouth, pronounce all the eye sounds one by one;
Make a tube with your lips and try to pull it as far as possible, then hold your lips in this tense position for at least 5-10 seconds;
Protrude your lower jaw forward and return it to its normal position;
Pull your cheeks in and hold your breath;
Try to push all the air out of your mouth with all your might.

These simple exercises, when used regularly, will help reduce the nasolabial fold, if it is not too severe, and tone the skin by working the facial muscles.

Kremlin gymnastics

This complex lasts about 15 minutes. After each dose, you need to rest for a few seconds. The Kremlin technique consists of several exercises performed sequentially:

The mouth opens as wide as possible, any vowel sounds are pronounced loudly, clearly, at a good pace;
Holding a pencil between your teeth and extending your lower jaw, you need to draw imaginary circles with it, repeating 6-8 times;
The open mouth is shaped like a large letter "O". Then, resting on the teeth with the upper lip, the tense lips are transformed into an oval, directing a greater load to the lower jaw. The mirror will show how the folds disappear;
Having placed the index fingers at the wings of the nose, move them almost to the upper eyelids, and then direct the movement downwards (5 times). This is a very effective exercise; it smoothes the skin well and lifts it in the nasolabial triangle area.

After completing the complex, you should relax and repeat it again. The session involves a 5-fold repetition. Kremlin gymnastics has a beneficial effect on the muscles of the mouth and works the jaw and nasal areas.

Yoga by Lourdes Doplito

Lourdes Doplito is 69 years old, has four children, and looks 20 years younger than her age. Therefore, her wrinkle correction methods are trusted. This unique facial workout takes only 20 minutes a day, and you can do it without interrupting your daily activities. At the same time, the exercises visibly eliminate nasolabial wrinkles and strengthen the neck muscles.

Execution sequence:

Hold the upper lip with your thumb (located inside the mouth) and index finger, then pull it down 0.5 cm;
Take a deep breath. Eyes must be open. After this, a smile is required, but such that nasolabial folds do not appear;
Hold your breath for a few seconds;
The slow exhalation is followed by the same, delayed inhalation;
Exhale slowly again;
After a 2-second break, repeat the exercises 3 more times.

Which method of correcting nasolabial folds is preferable?

In modern cosmetology practice, in order to correct deep nasolabial folds, preference is given to absorbable hyaluronic acid preparations. These fillers are well and evenly distributed, pushing out wrinkles. Due to their ability to retain water molecules and other properties (stimulation of fibroblasts, improvement of metabolism, etc.), they help restore the original volume of tissues and stimulate self-rejuvenation processes.

The use of one or another type of drug is influenced by the depth of the folds, the structure and condition of the facial tissues, and the age of the patient. The availability of fillers with different characteristics allows you to make a choice depending on the severity of the defects and the problems being solved.

Exercises by Carol Maggio

Cosmetologist Carol Maggio, who works with many Hollywood actresses, has invented her own set of exercises to help smooth out unpleasant nasolabial folds. Its effect is comparable to the results achieved by plastic surgery. Recommended for both increased and decreased tone of facial muscles.

First option

During gymnastics, mentally mark out 2 points: the first in the middle of the lower lip, the second, respectively, on the lower lip. Then they open their mouth so that the points, remaining on the same line, move away from each other. In this case, the lips will take the shape of an oval. In this position, you need to quickly move your fingers up and down along the nasolabial folds until a noticeable burning sensation appears.

Second option

Sit up straight, try to tense the muscles going to the back of your head;
To warm up, vigorously rub your palms together;
Shape the lips into an oval in the manner described in the previous version;
Slowly move your palms with joined fingers over the nasolabial folds, without touching the skin. She should only feel the warmth emanating from her hands;
Imagine that you have a viscous and rather thick mass under your hands that needs to be smoothed out;
Increase the pace when a feeling of warmth and tingling comes;
Pressing your palms on the corners of your lips, close them and remove your hands. To relax your face, exhale loudly, causing vibration of the skin and muscles;
In conclusion, you need to lightly tap the problematic folds with your fingertips.

Face massage

A facial massage will help consolidate the work done after gymnastics. So the most popular and in demand are:

Japanese Shiatsu massage is a type of acupressure practiced for thousands of years in Eastern medicine;
Asahi massage is a worthy alternative to plastic surgery, allowing you to lose 10 years.

Modern technologies help the effects of facial exercises, removing nasolabial folds with the help of hardware additions to them:

bio-mechanical stimulation apparatus (BMS) Nazarov.

Nazarov BMS apparatus

By influencing the facial muscles with its help, blood circulation, lymphatic drainage, and the activity of muscle fibers improve, regeneration processes occur faster, age-related defects disappear, the face becomes younger, turning back time.

Acupressure

In solving the problem of how to remove nasolabial folds and tighten the oval of the face, exercises are not the only way. Acupressure gives very good results. Execution sequence:

Straighten your back, sit or stand (preferably in front of a mirror). Open your mouth so that your lips form an oval and touch your teeth;
From the lines formed by wrinkles, apply pressure to areas of the face with the pads of your middle fingers, focusing upwards and to the sides. This should be done strongly enough so that your fingers feel not just the skin, but also the muscles, although you should not get to the point of painful sensations. Start from the nose. Each line should have 3-4 clicks. The number of repetitions can be up to 3. About 5 sessions are necessary during the week.

Causes of nasolabial folds

The first thing that comes to mind when mentioning the reasons for the appearance of nasolabial lips is facial expressions, the second is age. Yes, indeed, the hated grooves appear the more strongly the older a person gets, and facial expressions also play their evil role. But not smiling means not living.

In addition to the two obvious direct reasons for the formation of a fold in the nasolabial triangle, there are a number of indirect ones:

Sudden weight loss. Wrinkles appear when the skin cannot “pull itself together” to adapt to the shape changed by diet. Having lost a layer of fat, it remains “hanging”, because along with the fat, the skin has not become smaller. The situation is the opposite - as soon as you dial it all up a little, the skin on your face begins to smooth out, and neat, plump cheeks appear.
Heredity factor. It cannot be ruled out in any way. Nasolabial folds can be passed on from generation to generation, or to be more precise, a predisposition to their early appearance is transmitted. There's nothing you can do about it.
Reasons from outside. Here I mean everything that is beyond human control - natural influences, climatic conditions, temperature changes, environmental problems, exposure to ultraviolet radiation, etc. Those. all that is why the skin cannot produce collagen in the required quantity. Because of this, elasticity and firmness are lost, which cannot but affect the condition of the facial skin.
Having bad habits. You can’t argue with this, being an athlete to the core, I always ask my girls - don’t smoke, don’t drink alcohol, because with these habits you roll back all your successes that you achieve in the gym. And in the case of skin, you simply do not allow it to renew itself at the cellular level.
Lack of moisture. A very important point. It is impossible to remove nasolabial folds and wrinkles without nourishing the skin with sufficient moisture. The rule from every kettle is to drink at least 3 liters a day. Do you follow him? No? Its time to begin.
Sleeping in the wrong position. I’m talking now about those who like to sleep face down on a pillow. No comments needed, just don't do this again.
Incorrectly selected cosmetics. We are not talking about decorative cosmetics, but about skincare.

Prevention of nasolabial wrinkles

In many cases, you can prevent the appearance of nasolabial folds and sagging cheeks if you take care of the problem in advance. To prevent such troubles you need:

Constantly use creams containing collagen and hyaluronic acid;
Get rid of the habit of sleeping on your stomach;
Do not drink at night, but be sure to drink large quantities of liquid during the day;
Be sure to use foods rich in fiber and antioxidants in your diet - nuts, cereals from various cereals, bread with bran, mushrooms, fresh vegetables, fruits, herbs.

Question answer

Unfortunately, this is not possible if wrinkles have already appeared. Making a positive change takes time. In addition, it is necessary to approach the issue comprehensively. To quickly get rid of wrinkles, you should contact a cosmetologist.

The mask is applied to the skin 2-3 times a week, do not forget to use anti-wrinkle creams (they need to be applied in the morning and evening). If you plan to use a scrub, peeling, or mask, you should cleanse the skin and wipe it with tonic.

Many girls do not take good care of their skin. They remember about leaving only when the creases have already appeared and are clearly visible. But you need to fight them even before they appear as a preventive measure. Even if you don’t have nasolabial folds, do exercises, use masks and creams.

Effective masks and traditional methods

Masks allow you to get rid of barely visible wrinkles in the nasolabial area, but they cannot control large wrinkles that furrow the skin. However, masks help greatly in preventing wrinkles. At home, they are prepared just before the procedure begins. Apply only to the nasolabial area. Before using a new mask, it is wise to test for a possible allergic reaction - apply the composition to a small area and after 15 minutes assess the condition of the skin.

With bay leaf

From 15 bay leaves prepare a decoction in 300 ml of water (boil for 15 minutes), a water bath is also suitable, but then the cooking time is increased by 5-7 minutes. Strain through cheesecloth and cool. Beat three eggs into a stable foam, add a tablespoon of broth and 2 - olive oil. The resulting mask in the form of a gauze compress is placed on the problem area for 40 minutes. After a 3-day course, the same break is required.

With spirulina

The microalgae spirulina, unusually rich in unique amino acids and microelements, can quickly transform the skin, including in the nasolabial area. Mask composition:

Spirulina - 4 tablets;
Gelatin - 2 teaspoons;
Vitamin A oil solution - 2 drops;
Lemon juice - ½ teaspoon.

Gelatin, like seaweed tablets, is soaked in 50 ml of water, then dissolved in a water bath, allowed to cool and mixed with the rest of the ingredients. The mask is applied twice a week for a month.

Traditional remedies

The healing qualities of calendula, chamomile, coltsfoot, and St. John's wort have long been used in cosmetology. Of course, herbs alone cannot cope with nasolabial wrinkles. But they give effective results in combination with other means. Masks made from medicinal herbs enhance the effect of anti-aging creams. They are used both in the form of liquid decoctions and with the addition of gelatin, which gives the consistency of a cream or gel and is rich in natural collagen.

The fight against nasolabial folds should be supplemented with other folk methods:

In the morning, after washing your face, wipe your face with ice cubes from decoctions of medicinal plants, do not forget about exercises for the nasolabial folds of the face and raising the corners of the lips. And it also helps against purse-string wrinkles occupying the space near the lips;
The night before bed, use a warm compress of green tea and olive oil;
Fruit applications are useful in combating nasolabial folds: peaches, bananas, apples;
Sour cream or cream during a massage is applied to a previously steamed and cleansed face and makes the massage procedure as effective as possible.

Help cosmetics

If a woman is over 30-35 years old, she should definitely think about using age-related cosmetics. It is important to regularly care for your skin, then you can protect yourself from the early appearance of nasolabial folds.

If there are deep wrinkles on the face, cosmetics will not be able to completely remove them. But with its help you can improve the condition of your skin.

It is recommended to look at the composition of the products that are purchased. For them to really help in the fight against wrinkles, they must include:

collagen;
proteins;
retinol;
various amino acids;
hyaluronate;
coenzymes.

In addition, you need to look at the type of skin for which the selected product is intended. Also, do not forget about age restrictions.

Cleopatra's remedy will help in the fight against nasolabial folds at home. This cream will make the skin elastic and protect against wrinkles and creases.

For this, wax, honey, and juice obtained from a garden lily bulb are prepared. These components must be taken in equal quantities.

All this is placed in a water bath until the wax dissolves. After this, the mixture is stirred and left to cool. The prepared cream is applied morning and evening.

Here are some popular creams that really lead to positive changes:

Botox like system. This product is in demand. This is not surprising, because it really shows good results. Produced by Belita. It can reduce wrinkles, but to do this you need to use the drug regularly for 5-6 months.
Bark. This cream is also popular, it provides nourishment to the skin, tightens it, and reduces wrinkles on the face. To achieve a visible effect, you need to use it for at least six months.
Bioven. It has a unique composition that has a beneficial effect on the skin, rejuvenating it. The manufacturer promises that the effect can be noticed after 3 months of regular use.

Reviews

Anna: “My folds were quite pronounced. I started with Japanese massage, but it didn’t help. I realized that I couldn’t expect one result from him. Then I took on the problem comprehensively. Along with massage, I started doing masks and special exercises. I bought some useful creams. After 7 months I noticed improvements: the wrinkles really began to decrease.”

Rita: “Gymnastics saves me. The structure of the face is such that the “nasolabial lips” came out early. They add terribly to age. After classes they are no longer so deep, but they are still far from ideal.”

Mika: “There are exercises to prevent cheeks from drooping. They will help delay the deepening of nasolabial folds and even improve their condition. But they must be done correctly, mastered with a good instructor. Exercise even changes your facial expression. And, of course, you need hydration.”

“Northern Lights”: “On the face, like on the body, there are muscles that also need to be exercised. I do the following exercise: I pronounce vowel sounds one by one - I move my lips with all my might, ending with the sound “u.” After this, the muscles are clearly felt, and the “nasolabial lips” are tightened. I suggest others to make this kind of gymnastics a friend in getting rid of early wrinkles.”

First of all, I would like to advise all girls to take care of their skin from an early age. You can also do massage and exercises, they really bring benefits. Prevention is the best fight. Those who have already developed creases are unlikely to be able to completely get rid of the problem. Home methods can only reduce wrinkles and improve skin condition. That is why I would advise you to pay attention to contour plastic surgery and hardware methods. Such procedures will transform your appearance.

To achieve success using home methods, you need regularity and a comprehensive approach.
