We remove a sad, dissatisfied face along with nasolabial wrinkles and increase the volume of the lips

Over the years, a person sees how his face changes: nasolabial folds, and purse-string wrinkles appear. And the lips themselves become thin, pale, almost invisible two stripes and even lipstick does not paint them. What are the hidden reasons that all this manifests itself on our faces? Of course, you cannot run away from age, but there is also such a disposing factor as "hypertonicity of the mimic muscles of the face." How to cope with nasolabial and purse-string wrinkles on the face? How to increase the volume of the lips? And what exercises to choose for yourself? Let's watch.

Nasolabial folds, thin lips, and purse-string wrinkles around them. But why does this all appear:

1. Nasolabial folds, thin pale lips, and purse-string wrinkles around the lips lead to the fact that a person's face looks sad, dissatisfied, and upset. But what is the reason for these manifestations? Naturally, age cannot be erased from the face, but much depends on the state of the muscles of the face. We know that our face is made up of a specific group of muscles: the facial muscles. Their distinguishing feature from skeletal muscles (the muscles that make up our body) is that the mimic muscles are attached at one end to the bones, but at the other to the skin or woven into other muscles (such as the platysma or frontalis muscle). Whereas skeletal muscles have two ends attached to the bones.

It is due to the structure that the face has its own problems. Nasolabial folds, and wrinkles around the lips, and their changes are associated with the circular muscle of the mouth, the tone of the fat packs on the face, and the cheek muscles in general (minor and major zygomatic muscle). The orbicular muscle of the mouth, of course, has the most pronounced influence. The fact is that it not only lines the area around the lips but also forms the lips themselves. And due to the fact that we very often strain this muscle (during work, when negative emotions and stress occur), the circular muscle of the mouth comes into tone. Over time, this muscle from tone enters a state of "hypertonicity". This is a state of the muscle when it can no longer relax on its own without your help.

2. A person does not feel this tension, and over time, the overstressed muscle begins to contract and shrink. Contraction of the muscle leads to the fact that it simply becomes smaller and pulls the skin along with it (you remember the structural features of facial muscles). As a result, the so-called "purse-string wrinkles" around the lips are formed. We also understand that the volume of the skin cannot change and they remain hanging down, forming nasolabial folds.

As a result, we understand that the muscle needs to be relaxed, and this can be done with massage or exercise. Massage in the lip area is not very convenient to perform, but exercises are always welcome. Today we will push our finger with our lips, which will allow:

• Increase the volume of the lips by relaxing the circular muscles of the mouth.
• Tighten the cheeks a little, as the zygomatic muscles come into play.
• Reduces the severity of nasolabial folds.
• It removes the sad, displeased expression from the face.
• Reduces feelings of stress, tension, and irritation.

Naturally, with all the benefits of the exercise, it is worth talking about practicing with a specialist. Exercise may be contraindicated in the presence of herpes rashes on the lips, lymphadenitis, and oncological disorders. In this case, it is worth talking with a specialist about the practice.

How to do an exercise to help your lips and face:

3. The exercise is not the most difficult to perform, but quite effective. Relaxation in the zone is felt almost immediately. The main thing is to do it while sitting on a chair and not slouching.

• We sit straight.
• The index finger is applied to the lips.
• We press it tightly.
• We begin to stretch our lips forward, trying to push the finger (resist with your finger).
• We strain our lips when stretching.
• We hold this position for 20-25 seconds.
• Then we relax, return the lips to a relaxed state, and repeat the exercise another 8-10 times.
