How to distinguish between real and fake wrinkles
Fake: You don’t see wrinkles when your face is expressionless, but when you smile or get angry, you notice tiny lines appearing at the corners of your mouth, under your eyes, etc. These are called expression lines. If you continue to be careless, they will slowly seep into your skin and form deep wrinkles! True: Even if you are expressionless and you can still see clear lines, then you can be sure that your wrinkles have been forming for a long time and they have probably become true wrinkles!
Wash your face first, let your skin relax in front of a mirror while your face is in a moist state, and observe the state of your skin when your face is expressionless, then make a series of expressions of joy, anger, sadness and happiness. If there are no wrinkles when there is no expression, and wrinkles only appear at the corners of the eyes, mouth and eyebrows when making expressions, this is pseudo-wrinkles (also called dynamic lines). However, if you have no expression, you can still see clear lines, then you can be sure that your wrinkles have been formed for a long time and have become real wrinkles (also called static lines).
Dynamic wrinkles: wrinkles that appear when making expressions
Static wrinkles: wrinkles that appear even when you do not make expressions
Groups prone to pseudowrinkles (dynamic wrinkles)
Age group: 25~35 years old
Skin characteristics: Thin, short streaks around the eyes and mouth
Causes: Light aging, habitual expressions, skin dehydration, work stress, irregular life, lack of sleep, excessive weight loss, etc. Light aging is the biggest killer of fake wrinkles. UV radiation makes the skin dehydrated and forms small breaks, which are reflected in the face as that one tiny wrinkle.
How to fight fake wrinkles
1, change the bad habits
Any expression done more may form expression lines, the most representative of which are the following.
Frown lines between the eyebrows – frown in the face of greater pressure or thinking
Horizontal lines at the inner and outer corners of the eyes – the habit of squinting to see things
End-of-eye wrinkles – often laughing
Forehead lines – frequent raising of the eyebrows or widening of the eyes
Fascia lines – frequent sadness or grimacing
Fine lines on the lips – often smoke
2. Stop staying up all night long
Staying up late is the enemy of the skin, which can accelerate the aging of the skin at an unimaginable rate, so you should not stay up late for more than two days in a row.
3. Pay attention to sun protection
Do a good job of sun protection to completely eliminate the factors that make the skin aging by UV rays. Pay attention to eye sun protection. Especially in the hot sun glare, wear sunglasses or sun hat.
4. Promote circulation and massage
Use skin care products that can strengthen and promote skin metabolism in order to bring out a healthy complexion of the lusterless skin, due to both “internal” factors such as poor blood circulation and “external” factors such as old cuticles.
5. Botox injection
The most simple and effective way to remove dynamic wrinkles. Botox can produce reversible local muscle fiber paralysis, reducing the contraction of facial muscles that cause wrinkle formation, reducing the existing wrinkles on the one hand and preventing the formation of new wrinkles on the other, making it the first choice for treating pseudo-wrinkles on the face.
Groups prone to real wrinkles (static wrinkles)
Age group: after 35 years old
Skin characteristics: forehead lines, decree lines, crow’s feet have appeared, as the skin becomes relaxed, wrinkles gradually deepen.
Causes: After 35 years old, metabolism begins to slow down, sebaceous glands and sweat glands slowly decline, and the internal fiber reserves that support the skin surface are gradually depleted, causing the tension inside the skin to decrease, and local areas begin to sink, so wrinkles arise and become more and more obvious.
How to fight real wrinkles
Modern medical technology does offer a wide range of options to address static wrinkles, including: injectable fillers, linear suspension, laser wrinkle removal, tissue transplantation and facelift surgery. Each of these methods has its own application, different results, and different recovery periods. The latest trend in wrinkle reduction is to apply these methods in appropriate combinations to add up to the effect of wrinkle reduction, which is quite beneficial to facial rejuvenation.
