How to Prevent Nasolabial Folds

| Obje Plastic Surgery How to Prevent Nasolabial Folds |

Our skin is very sensitive to temperature and humidity.

Even when the season changes just a little,

signs of change appear in the skin as well.

Among them, the area where the traces of time

stand out most clearly is the wrinkles that appear on the face.

Among those wrinkles,

the part that greatly affects a person’s impression

and often becomes a concern is

the nasolabial fold. Today, we will take some time to look at

ways to help prevent nasolabial folds in daily life.

Causes of Nasolabial Folds We all want healthy,

smooth skin.

In particular, nasolabial folds

can get in the way of that wish.

That is because nasolabial folds appear along

the face’s expression lines and affect

our facial expressions while also

giving a more aged impression. The causes of nasolabial folds include

skin aging, continuous use of facial muscles,

UV exposure, lack of moisture, smoking, and more.

A decrease in skin elasticity,

along with damage to collagen and elastin,

is one of the major factors in wrinkle formation.

In addition, incorrect lifestyle habits and posture

can also affect the formation of nasolabial folds.

How to Prevent Nasolabial Folds

1. Keep the skin from getting dry

When the skin becomes dry,

the balance of oil and moisture is disrupted,

and wrinkles can form more easily. Therefore, to keep the skin moisturized,

make sure to drink water frequently in daily life,

and apply lotion and moisturizers

carefully and often.

Also, it is best to avoid alcohol as much as possible,

since it drains moisture from the body,

and coffee, which has a diuretic effect,

is not good either.

It is also better to choose fruits and vegetables

as foods with high water content.

2. Facial muscle stretching

Frequently doing stretches that relax the facial muscles

is also a way to prevent nasolabial folds.

It helps reduce tension in the facial muscles

and promotes blood circulation,

which is good for preventing wrinkles. A representative method is saying

“a-e-i-o-u”

while opening the mouth wide

and using the facial muscles.

And

“puffing the cheeks”

is also effective in relaxing the muscles

around the face.

3. Block UV rays

The basis of skin care

is UV protection. To protect against UV rays,

apply sunscreen frequently

and thoroughly.

And on days when UV rays are strong,

it is also good to wear a wide-brimmed hat

or use a mask or sunglasses.

4. Avoid the habit of puckering the lips too much

Small habits

can make nasolabial folds look deeper.

In particular, if you have a habit of

puckering your lips too much without realizing it,

it is best to correct it. A typical example is

drinking through a straw

or placing your mouth on a water bottle with a narrow opening

and drinking a beverage.

If you repeat these habits often,

wrinkles can form.

Therefore, it is better to use a bottle with a wider opening

or pour the drink into a cup.

Also, smoking requires you to pucker your lips,

so the action of holding a cigarette in your mouth and inhaling

uses the muscles around the mouth a lot,

and should be avoided as much as possible.

Preventing nasolabial folds

is not something that happens all at once.

It requires consistent habits and changes in lifestyle.
