Most people are concerned with the question: how to remove wrinkles, because they do not decorate a person at all.
The appearance of wrinkles is associated with various reasons:
- With active facial expressions;
- With age;
- With stressful situations;
- With bad habits.
There are many ways to smooth out wrinkles:
- With the help of cosmetic services: peelings, laser resurfacing, ultrasound, photorejuvenation;
- Smoothing wrinkles with Botox;
- Lifting with mesothreads;
- Mesotherapy;
- Circular facelift;
- Exercises for facial muscles;
- Massage of the problem area;

The most powerful remedy for first wrinkles
A good cream will help maintain youth, but still it cannot change facial expressions associated with speech, facial expression, smoking, etc. Sooner or later, wrinkles will take their toll, as creases form in places where muscles move.
Injections of Botox, a drug that relaxes muscles, will help cope with this problem. Having received several injections from a cosmetologist, you can forget about wrinkles in problem areas for about six months. Then the procedure can be repeated.
Expression wrinkles on the forehead
Wrinkles are visible folds of the skin that arise as a result of excessive activity of the facial muscles and loss of elasticity and firmness in the skin.

Expression wrinkles, also called dynamic wrinkles, are caused by contraction, relaxation and excess tension of the facial muscles. They are responsible for changing facial expressions.
The skin of the face moves along with the muscles. As long as it is young and has a lot of collagen fibers, it can cope with dynamic tension. But with age, facial wrinkles appear on the skin.
First, an intermittent groove appears, which easily disappears. Then a continuous fold forms, which can still be smoothed out with your hands. And then a deep furrow appears, which does not disappear.
Age wrinkles appear as a result of decreased muscle tone. If you restore the original volume of the muscles, you can easily get rid of them with the help of massage.
Expression wrinkles on the forehead are the result of a person’s emotions, and emotions are difficult to control. Massage will not help in this case, because after the procedure the person goes outside and begins to squint from the sun's rays. Or when communicating with friends, he experiences emotions, raises his eyebrows, laughs.

To smooth out wrinkles on the forehead, you need to perform a massage procedure along the massage lines, from the center to the temples:
- Begin the massage procedure with light strokes. Place the closed fingers of your hands above the eyebrows, using stroking movements, move your fingers along the eyebrows to the temples. Repeat 8 to 10 times, placing the fingertips in the center of the forehead, gradually moving up to the hairline.
- Proceed to finger pressure. Lightly press the pads of 2 fingers on the area of the inner edge of the eyebrows (bridge of the nose). Duration – 3-4 seconds. Move higher, to the middle of the forehead, press with the same fingers. Rise higher to the hair growth line and perform a similar action. Place your fingers above the middle of the eyebrows, repeat pressing these points with your fingers and two points above the eyebrows (similar to the previous case). Place your fingers over the tips of your eyebrows and repeat the procedure.
- Continue the massage procedure with kneading. Place your fingertips over the bridge of your nose. Knead, combining smoothing and pressing (as if kneading dough), clockwise, moving towards the temples. Do not separate the fingertips from the body! In the opposite direction, from the temples to the bridge of the nose, move counterclockwise.

- Vertical wrinkles on the forehead are removed by smoothing and pinching the eyebrows. Begin the procedure with smoothing circular movements from the bottom of the bridge of the nose up to the roots of the hair and eyebrows. Then gently pinch your eyebrows at the bridge of your nose with two fingers – your thumb and forefinger. Lightly tapping with your fingertips, imitating raindrops, move, continuing to pinch your eyebrows towards your temples. Move your palm from left to right, then in the opposite direction, repeat the movement several times.
- As soon as the first wrinkles appear on the forehead, they are eliminated with circular smoothing movements from bottom to top, before hair begins to grow. Massage the center of the forehead, then the areas on the right and left, every 10-12 times. The result of the procedure will become noticeable after a week of daily massaging.
- Complete the massage procedure by lightly tapping with your fingertips from the center to the temples for 1 minute, until a pleasant warmth appears. Gently smooth the skin in the same direction with your middle and index fingers, horizontally along the eyebrows, then vertical lines. The final point of the massage is an infinity sign drawn several times.
The massage procedure should be performed daily. The session should last no more than 15 minutes. The average duration of a massage course is 2 weeks. To remove vertical folds between the eyebrows, you will need about 20 massage sessions.
If the skin is too delicate and thin, pinching and kneading should be excluded from the massage procedure.

How to remove wrinkles with spoons
German cosmetologist Rene Koch has developed a unique technique where, with the help of ordinary spoons, you can improve the condition of the skin, smooth out wrinkles and remove bags under the eyes.
He got this idea when he remembered how, as a child, his mother treated him for bruises and bumps by applying a chilled spoon to the sore spot. He decided to use this method in cosmetology, thoroughly reworking it and scientifically substantiating it. But first I tried it on myself. The results of several months of work have paid off.
While doing such an unusual massage, he noticed that the muscles became more elastic and the contours of the face became clearer. Later it turned out that the spoons also turned out to be an effective remedy against fatty deposits on the abdomen and sagging skin.
Mastering spoon massage is not difficult. You just need to familiarize yourself with the basic rules:
The main movement is circular. First, clockwise, while massaging with pressure. Then - counterclockwise. In this case, you cannot put pressure.
Before the massage, the skin must be cleaned so that there is no makeup on the face. It is better to perform the procedures in the morning, immediately after waking up.
To remove wrinkles from the forehead, you need to first apply a spoon preheated in hot water to the base of the eyebrows, and then move it to the temples with light circular movements. You need to repeat the exercise 10 times.
To reduce swelling of the eyelids and remove dark circles under the eyes, immerse a spoon in finely crushed ice and then apply it to the eyelids at least five times.
To remove a double chin, you need to move the spoon with rotational movements from the neck to the chin.
For general skin tone, you need to alternately apply a hot spoon to your face, then a cold one.
How often to massage
The duration and frequency of the massage depends on its technique and the individual characteristics of the skin. On average, after 40 years, the skin needs no more than 2 courses of intensive correction of 20 procedures per year. In addition, it is necessary to moisturize the skin daily and classically massage (with gentle pressure, massage in a circular motion) the area where wrinkles are particularly concentrated.
A forehead massage aimed at getting rid of wrinkles, carried out in compliance with all recommendations, will become an effective assistant in preserving women's youth and beauty.
Causes of wrinkles
Until approximately 25 years of age, the blood supply to the skin is optimal. She receives the necessary oxygen and sufficient nutrition. But gradually the body sends more blood to the internal organs. Chronic deficiency of blood supply is the reason for the withering of the skin, the need to remove wrinkles on the forehead and other parts of the face.
Age-related changes reduce the rate of renewal of epidermal cells, the intracellular pressure that keeps the cell walls in a tense position. The skin retains moisture worse, loses permeability and elasticity, and becomes deflated. Increased fragility of blood vessels provokes vascular mesh.
Decreased skin immunity increases skin peeling and irritation.
Age impairs the functioning of the sebaceous and sweat glands, the ability to counteract solar radiation - the cause of a network of fine wrinkles on the forehead and face after sunbathing.
Reasons to remove wrinkles on the forehead are disorders of the nervous, endocrine systems, kidney function, gynecological, gastrointestinal diseases, weakened immunity, depression and stress.
The skin ages faster due to disrupted metabolic processes, hormonal changes, and the accumulation of harmful substances in the intestines.
Cosmetologists associate aging and the formation of wrinkles on the face with the action of free radicals. Their main source is ultraviolet radiation from the sun or a quartz lamp in a solarium. It destroys collagen fibers, dehydrates the deep layers of the skin, depriving it of firmness and elasticity. The consequences of sunburn are especially harmful, even if they happened in childhood.
The skin ages faster due to excessive mobility of the face - the cause of facial wrinkles. Some men and women, as they get older, do not immediately break the habit of wrinkling their nose, raising or frowning their eyebrows with or without reason. A nervous temperament contributes to the habit.
Wrinkles on the forehead are removed in men who are accustomed to moving the skin into folds during a conversation or when combing their hair, and women when tinting their eyelashes.
