Patting away 4 expression lines is more effective than injecting hyaluronic acid

As time goes by, accumulated facial expressions will leave traces on the face. Wrinkles such as laugh lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles are the most common "marks of time". When faced with aging, women will always try their best to remedy the situation. Many people choose to inject hyaluronic acid to fill fine lines, but this kind of micro-plastic surgery can easily cause stiff expressions and cannot maintain a tight face for a long time. Don’t worry, here are 4 skin care tips that are more effective than hyaluronic acid injections to make those naughty expression lines submit.

Loose skin and the ever-changing facial expressions easily lead to the formation of expression lines on the face, such as forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and nasolabial folds. These wrinkles make the skin rough and make people look older. To reduce or eliminate these lines, there are three methods to choose from: one is to stop smiling or have a blank expression from now on, which most people can't do! The second is to inject hyaluronic acid to remove wrinkles, but this method only lasts for a short time and is likely to cause sequelae of facial stiffness. The third is to remove wrinkles through advanced, skin-acting products that eliminate expression lines. After comprehensive consideration, the editor believes that it is more reliable to use skin care products. If you stick to the following skin care tips, you can get rid of expression lines in no time!

TIP1: Apply essence gently

Among various skin care products, essences have the highest concentration of active ingredients and play a greater role. But some people just don't know how to use the essence and waste its unique benefits. To combat expression lines, pat your anti-wrinkle serum instead of rubbing it on.

After applying toner, take a sufficient amount of essence on the palm of your hand, rub it evenly, and then lightly apply it on the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Use the second joints of all your fingertips to gently cover your face, and gently and slowly pat the essence onto the entire face from the inside out.

Pinch: Use the tips of your index and middle fingers to gently press from the chin upwards to the area under the eyes, kneading each acupoint horizontally from the inside to the outside.

Pat: From the chin to the area under the eyes, pat horizontally from inside to outside with your fingertips.

Pressure: Use the pads of three fingers (index finger, middle finger, and ring finger) to press gently from the inside to the outside.

Caress: Use your index and middle fingers to open up the wrinkles, and then use the fingers of your other hand to perform spiral massage on the wrinkled areas of your face.

Slide: Start from under the eyes, nose wings, mouth and chin, and slide diagonally upward to the temples, 3-5 times for each place.

TIP 2: Exfoliate according to your skin type

Regular exfoliation is also a good way to prevent and reduce expression lines. If the facial stratum corneum is too thick, the applied skin care products will be difficult to absorb, and the skin will not get enough nutrition, which will naturally lead to dullness, wrinkles and other problems. Therefore, regular exfoliation is also an important step in reducing wrinkles. But exfoliation should also be based on your skin type.

For example, in the summer when oily skin produces a lot of oil, exfoliation can be done 2-3 times a week, and the T-zone can be strengthened; aging skin with thick keratin can exfoliate 1-2 times a week; but dry and sensitive skin should stop at moderation, and it is recommended to exfoliate once a week or 1-2 times a month depending on the skin condition. At the same time, it should be noted that the force of the fingers when exfoliating should be reduced, and light exfoliation on the cheeks is sufficient.

TIP3: Alternate between using masks with different functions

Facial masks are a must-have skin care product for girls. Masks with different functions can cleanse the skin, provide nutrition, moisture, and evenly balance the water and oil levels, making sagging and dull skin become moisturized and radiant, and restoring skin's elasticity. There are also tips to cleverly mix and match masks. After using a cleansing mask, you can use a soothing and hydrating mask to relieve dry skin and double the skin's absorption capacity. If you arrange three days to apply facial masks within a week, you can use moisturizing masks, whitening masks and firming masks alternately. Your skin will get all-round care and dry skin will become plump and full. But one thing to note is that facial masks cannot be used every day. Using facial masks too frequently will damage the skin's stratum corneum and make the skin more prone to dryness and aging.

TIP 4: Don’t miss any blind spots in the sun

UVA ultraviolet rays in sunlight are one of the two main culprits of skin aging. Studies have found that applying sunscreen scientifically can effectively slow down and prevent the occurrence of skin aging phenomena such as wrinkles. When applying sunscreen products, people generally avoid the eye area just like ordinary skin care products. As a result, the eye skin has become a blind spot for sun protection. The eye skin itself is very fragile, and if it lacks protection, it will be more prone to wrinkles around the eyes and crow's feet. Therefore, eye cream with sun protection value is very necessary, and it is recommended to choose mild physical sunscreen for the eyes.
