Expression lines. The best p
Expression wrinkles are more or less marked lines that form on the skin of the face. They are not linked to the phenomenon of aging, for this reason it is possible that they appear even on the skin of a young face (usually the first "appearances" occur between the ages of 20 and 25).
Their appearance is caused by a strong stress to which you subject your skin with repeated movements of the facial muscles, expressive movements such as when you smile or frown. This happens because over time the amount of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid that allow our skin to be elastic and resistant is reduced. Among the causes of these wrinkles, the hereditary component linked to genetic factors or even exposure to external factors should not be underestimated.
Given their nature, expression wrinkles are also known as movement wrinkles or dynamic wrinkles.
There are different types and they are distinguished based on the area of the face they affect. For this reason we have:
- Forehead wrinkles, also called "horizontal forehead wrinkles".
- Glabellar wrinkles (or thinker's lines) that affect the area of the bridge of the nose.
- Mouth/lip wrinkles.
- Crow's feet, eye wrinkles.
How to eliminate expression lines
There are several methods that you can put into practice to reduce or eliminate expression wrinkles, and they are:
- Quit smoking.
- Wear sunglasses in bright light.
- Sleep in a supine position.
- Rich and balanced diet.
- Adopt a balanced lifestyle.
- Take care of your skin's well-being (create your own beauty routine), to keep your skin hydrated.
- Do some facial exercises to restore your skin's elasticity and tone.
Regarding the last point, there are specific exercises to do for each area of the face (forehead, eyes, cheeks and lips).
Forehead : Place your fingers on your eyebrows and pull them upwards without frowning and applying light resistance with your fingers (repeat this 10 times).
Eyes : Close your eyelids for about 10 seconds without squinting and then relax your eyelids (repeat 10 times).
Cheeks : inflate them as much as you can like a balloon, hold your breath for a few moments and then deflate them by releasing the air (repeat 10 times).
Lips : open your mouth as if you were going to pronounce the O, then open it as if you were going to pronounce an A and relax (repeat 10 times). Another exercise is to mime a kiss with your lips for 5 seconds.
Expression lines on the mouth
The main causes that lead to the formation of this type of wrinkles are facial movements (especially the mouth) such as smiling, speaking and often having a frowning appearance. Other causes can be dehydration, incorrect eating habits and smoking.
There are different types of lip wrinkles:
- Perioral wrinkles, also called "barcode wrinkles", form mainly around the upper lip and in particular in smokers, which is why they are also known as "smoker's wrinkles".
- Commissural lip lines, also called "marionette lines," form at the sides of the mouth.
- Nasolabial wrinkles, also called "smile lines," start at the nose and extend to the mouth.
In order to prevent this type of wrinkles, in addition to facial gymnastics, it is important to use moisturizing creams such as cream Collistar Lift HD which prevents and minimizes wrinkles around the eyes and lips, ensuring an immediate lifting effect while over time minimizing the formation of bags and dark circles thanks to a targeted regenerating, revitalizing and anti-aging action. You can also use the Dorabruschi Aloe Vera which in addition to its anti-wrinkle and anti-aging actions, protects the skin from daily exposure to the sun's rays.
Expression lines on the forehead
They are more or less deep furrows that appear on the forehead. They can form at a young age (around 20 years old) and the causes can be various such as facial expressions, thinning of the epidermis, muscle hypertone. Other causes are to be found in lifestyle such as excessive exposure to the sun, sudden changes in weight, incorrect diet and smoking. Do not forget, also, factors such as aging.
So to prevent or treat this type of wrinkles you should follow a balanced diet, do a lot of physical activity and start hydrating your skin around the age of 25-30 using creams such as Arval anti-wrinkle cream over 50 which has an anti-wrinkle function to reduce their depth and delay the appearance of new ones. Thanks to its strong hydrating action, it can strengthen, recompact and firm the skin, making it silkier and brighter.
Another very useful cream, especially for women over 55, is the L'Oreal active anti-wrinkle cream (a rich, non-greasy cream) that reduces wrinkles in 4 weeks and makes your skin appear smoother, not only that but as the days go by your skin will also appear much firmer and more elastic.
