Why does a person frown? Let's be beautiful: how to stop wrinkled forehead

It is known that over the years the properties of the skin and appearance faces change due to the weakening of facial muscles, which give the face expressiveness and mobility. The reasons for these phenomena may be different.

Often the first barely noticeable wrinkles may appear already in at a young age, at 15-20 years old. These are the so-called expression wrinkles, resulting from excessively frequent muscle contractions in people with an overly mobile face.

Due to facial grimaces when talking, laughing, and especially due to bad habit wrinkle your nose or raise your eyebrows, expressing your dissatisfaction or bewilderment, as is often the case with nervous people; folds first appear - vertical and horizontal - on the forehead and bridge of the nose (from the base of the nose down), also descending on both sides of the nose to the cheeks. Unnatural, intense laughter causes a sharp contraction of all facial muscles, which also creates wrinkles on the face, especially on the cheeks. Later, by the age of 30, wrinkles appear at the outer corners of the eyes - the so-called “crow's feet”, or rays. They develop in women who have a bad habit of squinting their eyes, as well as in nearsighted people who do not wear glasses. Trying to see an object at a far distance, they strain their eye muscles, narrowing their eyes, and gradually the network of wrinkles around the eyes turns into “crow’s feet.” For myopic people who do not wear glasses, but by training hard, achieve “freedom of gaze”, “ crow's feet"may not be. However, this requires time and sufficient willpower.

Most of all, the face is spoiled by sharp folds that start from the wings of the nose and go to the corners of the mouth - the so-called rictus, or “lines of grief”. Exacerbation of the “lines of grief” ages a woman at any age, giving her face a sad, dissatisfied, senile expression. Let us note in passing that the simplest way avoid deepening the “lines of grief” - if possible, keep your jaw unclenched (when reading, walking, etc.). Subsequently, wrinkles around the eyes, near the base of the nose, and above upper lip etc.

All this does not mean, however, that a person should not laugh or that it is necessary to maintain complete stillness of the face. On the contrary, laughter makes you look younger and beautifies your face, but only natural, relaxed laughter. Deep folds on the cheeks, vertical, like scars, and folds along the contour of the face, which are usually indicated only in old age, are already visible at a young age in women who are nervous, laugh unnaturally and a lot.

The person’s emotions, experiences, and mood should be reflected on the face. However, its expression should be natural, calm, without excessive tension and continuous movement of the facial muscles. Many women are not even aware of their grimaces, while some mistakenly consider them “ positive feature emotional, impressionable nature.”

It's never too late to fight grimaces that have become a habit. And the sooner you start this fight, the more effective the result will be. To achieve success, you need willpower and persistent desire to get rid of a bad habit. First of all, carefully examine your face and find the right decision how to eliminate the deficiency. If you are overtired and have lost control of your face, ask a friend or someone at home to at least occasionally remind you of the need to avoid grimacing. It is also useful to record in memory that muscle sensation that occurs when talking and laughing without unnecessary grimaces.

With systematic work on yourself, within a month, others will notice an improvement. Even in 2-3 weeks, you can, for example, smooth out your forehead - not only get rid of the habit of wrinkling it, but also eliminate “pleated” folds, which immediately enlarges your forehead and makes your face look younger.

It is already important youth stop the teenager from grimacing and walking with pouting lips; you need to constantly remind him of this or show his face at this moment, since often people even in mature age unaware of their grimaces.

• You need to check yourself 2-4 times a day during work; this takes no more than 1-2 seconds. Sometimes women at work from time to time put a small mirror in front of them, which helps to instantly straighten wrinkles on the forehead or relieve facial tension. After a certain period, they no longer need it. You should definitely control yourself at home.

If at first the implementation of such constant control seems difficult, then later a habit will develop, and you will do it unnoticed by yourself, both when going out, at work, and at home.
