For many of us, the elimination of nasolabial folds without a visit to a beauty salon seems to be something impossible … In fact, is it really possible to remove “nasolabial folds” without the help of cosmetology? Are there really proven home remedies for dealing with this annoying phenomenon? Yes – and now we will tell about them!
Causes of nasolabial wrinkles
Nasolabial wrinkles are longitudinal folds of skin that connect the wings of the nose and the corners of the mouth. They do not arise from nowhere, but are a natural part of the face, providing its facial expressions and mobility. However, for a variety of reasons, nasolabial folds can be more or less pronounced – giving the face a youthful, or, conversely, tired and aged look.
There are several reasons why nasolabial folds can be pronounced:
- Heredity and anatomical type of face. These factors are genetically determined and it is almost impossible to change them – you can only make such nasolabial folds less noticeable.
- Muscle tone or structural features of the jaw apparatus. In this case, it is possible to prevent the formation of deep nasolabial folds by contacting a facial massage specialist or an orthopedic dentist in time.
- Active facial expressions. Oddly enough, one of the reasons for the appearance of mimic nasolabial wrinkles is the habit of smiling widely and often, laughing and wrinkling the nose. Well, in this case, we will not dare to advise you to specifically spoil the character to combat nasolabial folds – it is better to choose the right means to prevent their further deepening.
- Improper skin care and aggressive external environment. Dehydration of the skin, frequent exposure to ultraviolet rays, aggressive external factors can provoke the formation of the so-called nasolabial triangle – visually noticeable folds and sagging of the skin in the area between the nose and mouth.
- Bad habits – especially smoking. Unfortunately, it can affect not only the state of health in general, but also the density and elasticity of the skin, its premature aging and vulnerability to aggressive external factors.

Skin care rules to get rid of nasolabial folds on the face
Unfortunately, there is no universal and best method to remove nasolabial folds – it is always a matter of comprehensive care and skin care:
- humidification – only regular use of products with hyaluronic acid, allantoin and other components that deeply and intensively moisturize the skin will help to resist dehydration and sagging in the area of the nasolabial triangle.
- Protection against aggressive factors – creams, serums and fluids with powerful antioxidants (vitamin C, B3, resveratrol, neohesperidin) will help neutralize the harmful effects of free radicals, strengthen the protective functions of the skin and contribute to its rejuvenation.
- Sun protection – products with SPF protection also play an important role in eliminating nasolabial folds. They prevent photoaging of the skin and protect it from damage caused by aggressive UV rays.
- Good habits – in particular, do not rub the skin with a towel or cotton pads, carefully drive in the care products with your fingertips.
