"Wrinkles on the nose" is the cause of the obasan face! Is there a solution?

The wrinkles on the nose that connect the left and right inner corners of the eyes are called bunny lines. When a bunny line is created, the entire face looks crisp and can be seen older than the actual age. We will explain what causes wrinkles in the nose, along with how to care for them.

The main cause of wrinkles on the nose is "facial muscles"

The facial muscles are closely related to the wrinkles on the nose. When muscles such as the procerus muscle at the base of the nose contract, the skin bends and becomes wrinkled. Muscle movements vary from person to person, but if you laugh and your nose contracts strongly, you can say that a bunny line is more likely to occur.
When you are young, your skin is elastic, so when your facial expression returns, your skin will return to its original state. However, as the skin becomes less firm with age, the skin remains bent and wrinkles settle. To prevent colonization, it is important to continue the following care.

How to prevent wrinkles on the nose

Press the acupoints to loosen the stiffness around the nose

If the muscles such as the procerus muscle and the corrugator supercilii between the eyebrows are stiff, wrinkles are likely to occur. First of all, press the following acupoints to promote blood circulation and loosen muscle stiffness.

■ Indo

Acupuncture points in the center between the left and right eyebrows. Place the middle finger of your dominant hand and loosen it in a small circle. You can also expect the effect of preventing wrinkles between the eyebrows.

■ Sachiko

Acupoints on the left and right eyebrows. Place your thumb from below and stimulate the left and right to push up at the same time. It is also recommended when you feel eyestrain.

■ Geiko

Acupuncture points in a slightly recessed area next to the nose. Place your index finger and press left and right toward the center of your face at the same time. It is also effective as a countermeasure against nasolabial folds.

Prevent eye strain

If you overuse your eyes, the muscles between your eyebrows and around your eyes will become stiff and wrinkled easily. Reduce the strain on your eyes by shortening the time you spend looking at your smartphone or PC, and taking frequent breaks during desk work.
Also, if you continue to squint, wrinkles tend to form between your eyebrows and around your nose. If you have difficulty seeing things, it is important to correct your eyesight with glasses or contact lenses.

Sufficient UV protection and moisturizing

Skincare also needs to be reviewed to prevent wrinkles in the nose. When exposed to UV rays, collagen inside the skin decreases and wrinkles are likely to occur, so be sure to take sufficient UV care daily. It is recommended that you apply sunscreen firmly between your eyebrows and around your nose, and block the sun with a wide-brimmed UV-blocking hat.

Dry skin also causes wrinkles to worsen. The T zone tends to be sticky due to sebum, but it is easy to dry after washing your face or taking a bath, so moisturize it properly.

For those who want to improve the nasal wrinkles caused by facial muscles, Botox injection, which slows the movement of muscles, is recommended.
