No need for an expensive anti-wrinkle cream or injection to get rid of the nasolabial fold. Here is a super simple tip to reproduce from a facialist that drastically reduces smile lines. It does not cost 1 euro!
Even the best anti-aging creams cannot eradicate all facial wrinkles. Among those which are the deepest and which complicate the most, there are in particular the wrinkles of the nasolabial fold which are often very marked, sometimes from the age of 30. These expression wrinkles, which start from the wing of the nose and reach the corners of the lips, and which are also called smile lines because they are linked to the expressiveness of our face when we smile, tend to widen with age. With the melting of the fatty mass in the face and the slackening of the skin, these are deep wrinkles which are only accentuated after 40 years and which sometimes push to have recourse to botox injections.
However, there is a natural and just as effective method as these to fade them effectively: theself-massage of the face. In a video, the facialist Isabelle Trombert, founder of Spa L’Esprit A, reveals a facial massage technique to be used to delay the appearance of the nasolabial fold and significantly reduce smile lines.
