Women strive to look attractive at any age. But over time, the skin on the face loses its firmness and elasticity and changes in color. Wrinkles and wrinkles appear due to decreased facial muscle tone. How to deal with existing wrinkles? How to refresh facial skin? Folk remedies for wrinkles to the rescue.
Causes of wrinkles
The earliest wrinkles can appear as early as age 20. These are mimetic wrinkles that start to appear when we wrinkle our noses, raise our eyebrows, and make faces while talking and laughing. They appear on the bridge of the nose and forehead, but also on the sides of the nose. Mimic wrinkles are horizontal and vertical.
After 35 years, wrinkles around the eyes, so-called "crow's feet", start to appear. They occur earlier in women who often squint. During the same period, there may be folds from the nose to the corners of the mouth, which are called "wrinkles" on the face.
Premature wrinkles are formed by the wrong lifestyle: lack of sleep, alcoholism, smoking, lack of physical activity. Wrinkles usually appear with a dramatic weight loss, or, conversely, with a rapid weight gain.
To visibly smooth the already formed wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new imperfections on the face, you can use folk remedies: masks and creams. They are made with simple ingredients that can be found in every home.
