How to Prevent Facial Wrinkles in Daily Life

| Obje Plastic Surgery Facial Wrinkle Prevention Methods |

With the New Year, many people say that their bodies clearly feel different from last year.

People often say that both physical strength and skin change year by year, and even day by day.

As you get older, you may feel that your facial elasticity gradually decreases and your skin becomes dry and rough.

You may know that skin aging is best prevented in advance, but managing facial wrinkles in daily life is not easy, is it? If you wake up in the morning and notice that the pillow marks on your face do not disappear quickly, it means skin aging has begun.

As you age, skin elasticity decreases, and it takes much longer for marks on the skin to return to normal.

As the skin sags and wrinkles appear, you can really feel that the skin is aging.

To prevent this, it is important to take care of your skin regularly.

Today, let’s look at how to prevent facial wrinkles.

Wrinkles are mainly caused by aging, but they can worsen quickly for various reasons, such as seasons, stress, and repeated facial expressions.

These days, many people in their 20s and 30s are making all kinds of efforts to prevent aging and wrinkles.

Causes of wrinkles by area

1. Around the eyes

The skin around the eyes has the thinnest stratum corneum among the skin on the human body.

It is about half as thick as the skin around the mouth and about one-third as thick as the cheeks or forehead.

There is almost no subcutaneous fat directly beneath the skin, and because blood vessels are very close to the epidermis, they may show through depending on differences in skin color or thickness.

It is also very dry, and because it is an area that moves frequently when making facial expressions, wrinkles can easily develop.

2. Around the mouth

The skin around the lips has no pores, so it hardly secretes sweat or sebum, which means a natural moisturizing barrier is not formed.

Also, the skin around the lips is thinner than other skin areas except around the eyes, so it is an area where wrinkles and sagging easily develop with age.

3. Forehead

Wrinkles occur due to repeated contraction and relaxation of the frontalis muscle that moves the forehead.

When wrinkles form on the forehead, it is often because the brow muscles have stretched and the eyelids have drooped, and the forehead muscles are used to lift the sagging eyelids, which makes forehead wrinkles more likely.

When the face is relaxed, the wrinkles may be faint or thin, but when you frown, they become clearly visible.

In addition, exposure to ultraviolet rays can also cause forehead wrinkles.

How to prevent facial wrinkles in daily life

1. Sleep in a straight posture

Everyone has a different sleeping posture.

Some people sleep properly on their backs, while others sleep on their sides or on their stomachs.

When you sleep in an incorrect position rather than lying with your entire back against the floor, the skin on your face can be pressed against the surface and wrinkles may develop.

Therefore, it is better to sleep on your back as much as possible, and it is also best to avoid pillows that are too high.

A pillow that is too high can cause neck wrinkles or lead to a herniated cervical disc.

So when choosing a pillow, it is better to select one that matches the height of your shoulders.

2. Avoid frowning

Some people habitually frown or make angry expressions while going about their daily lives.

Repeated actions such as furrowing the brows without realizing it, lifting the forehead, or forming wrinkles around the eyes when smiling can create grooves beneath the skin surface, increasing the likelihood that they will deepen into wrinkles.

It is impossible not to move facial expressions at all.

However, you should be careful to avoid unnecessary frowning, scowling, or wrinkles that form when smiling.

3. Hydration

When the weather is dry like it is these days or when temperatures drop sharply, wrinkles tend to form more easily.

That is why it is important to manage your skin so it does not become dry in everyday life.

Therefore, it is necessary to frequently apply cosmetics that contain moisturizing functions.

However, if the amount of water in the body is insufficient, the moisturizing effect from cosmetics will also inevitably decrease.

So it is necessary to drink enough water.

It is good to drink at least 2 liters of water a day throughout the day.
