Step 1: Bend your index finger, placing the second knuckle and the broad side of the finger just below the corners of your mouth (along the extension of the nasolabial folds).
Step 2: Lift your finger upward as if pinching your lips, moving along the nasolabial folds to the sides of your nose.
Step 3: Continue lifting your index finger to the sides of your nose, using the second knuckle to gently rub up and down along the bridge of your nose.
Step 4: Continue moving your finger upward to the inner corner of the eye and press firmly for 3–5 seconds.
Step 5: Support your left jaw with your left hand. Use your right hand to push the right side of your face, pressing the cheek muscles toward the eye corner for 3–5 seconds. Then release pressure and move horizontally outward. Repeat on the other side.
Tip 2: Avoid Excessive Facial Expressions
Excessive facial expressions accelerate the appearance of nasolabial folds. While maintaining an optimistic mindset is important, avoid frequent laughter or overly dramatic facial expressions.
Tip 3: Prioritize Skincare
Collagen-rich creams can replenish skin collagen through topical application. After cleansing, use anti-aging and wrinkle-reducing products to nourish your skin.
Tip 4: Prioritize Sun Protection
Excessive UV exposure harms skin in multiple ways—from darkening and roughening to potentially causing skin cancer. It's also a primary culprit behind premature aging. Direct sunlight damages deep-layer elastic fibers and collagen, leading to wrinkles. To prevent nasolabial folds, daily sun protection is essential.
Tip 5: Dietary Therapy
Increase intake of collagen-rich foods like pig's trotters and chicken skin to slow skin aging. Vegetables such as radishes, tomatoes, Chinese cabbage, and celery, along with fruits like apples, citrus, watermelon, and dates, are also beneficial.The vitamins and minerals in these foods enhance skin elasticity, suppleness, and radiance, helping prevent nasolabial folds.
Tip 6: Hyaluronic Acid Injections for Wrinkle Reduction
When injected into the skin, hyaluronic acid encapsulates collagen fibers, elastic fibers, and other cellular components into a unified matrix. This creates a structure with both elasticity and viscosity, delivering a natural, plump effect. It also stimulates collagen production, filling damaged collagen fibers to rejuvenate skin elasticity and achieve wrinkle reduction.
