A woman tries to look attractive at any age. However, over time, the skin on the face loses its firmness and elasticity, and its color changes. Due to the decrease in the tone of the facial muscles, folds and wrinkles appear. How can you deal with wrinkles that have already appeared? How to rejuvenate facial skin? Folk remedies for wrinkles come to the rescue.
Causes of wrinkles
The first wrinkles can appear as early as the age of 20. These are facial wrinkles that appear when we wrinkle our noses, raise our eyebrows, and grimace when we talk and laugh. They occur on the bridge of the nose and forehead, and also occur on both sides of the nose. Mimic wrinkles are horizontal and vertical.
After 35 years, wrinkles called "crow's feet" begin to form around the eyes. They usually occur earlier in women with squint. In the same period, folds extending from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth may appear, these folds on the face are called "rictus".
With the wrong lifestyle, early wrinkles are formed: lack of sleep, alcohol addiction, smoking, low physical activity. Often wrinkles appear with a sharp weight loss or, conversely, with rapid weight gain.
To significantly smooth out already formed wrinkles and prevent the appearance of new facial defects, you can use folk remedies: masks and creams. They are made from simple materials that can be found in every home.
