Sometimes, even when we are in a great mood, because of wrinkles, it seems to others that we are frowning, and the facial muscles and bridge of the nose are tense. At the same time, wrinkles between the eyebrows appear on the face one of the first and make us “sad” against our will.
How do brow wrinkles appear?
When we frown our eyebrows, a small skin fold (wrinkle) appears between them. At first, wrinkles disappear without a trace immediately after the facial expression changes.
But the more we frown, the more the skin “remembers” creases and wrinkles, and it is more difficult to remove them. Over time, the skin between the eyebrows repeats the lines of the folds, first with the thinnest “thread”, and then with a full-fledged wrinkle. Creases remain and are not removed even in those moments when we and our interbrow muscles on the forehead are absolutely relaxed. And for many, this comes as a surprise – when a wrinkle appears sharply above the nose between the eyebrows.
Expert opinion on wrinkles
Skin health expert Dr. Annie Cohen Lethieux says that forehead wrinkles between the eyebrows are one of the first (and difficult to remove) to appear right after the “crow’s feet” around the eyes, but women do not attach much importance to this. Most often, instead of wrinkles, they only notice that their facial expression has changed and they can’t get rid of it, it has acquired a sad look and frowned eyebrows, even if they are in a good mood.
When women reach the age of 30, they first of all begin to complain about their facial expressions and only then try to remove wrinkles, says Annie Cohen Lethie. – Their faces, due to brow wrinkles, can express anger, sadness, resentment, anxiety or depression, while their facial muscles on the forehead and on the bridge of the nose are completely relaxed. It seems to me that it is this fact, and not the wrinkles themselves, that causes their main concern. The main reason for a sad expression is vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, which many people want to remove.
We recommend that you familiarize yourself with the anti-wrinkle care protocol from the Vichy experts.
After the age of 40, these wrinkles become more and more noticeable, and getting rid of them is more and more difficult. Our skin in the area of the eyebrows and bridge of the nose is no longer able to produce enough collagen, which is responsible for its elasticity. To prevent the appearance of “wrinkles of sadness” or remove them, it is necessary to provide the skin with the correct lifting care in advance. In addition, do not forget about the facial muscles, the training of which will help get rid of transverse folds on the bridge of the nose and wrinkles.
How to remove wrinkles between the eyebrows and delay their appearance?
At any age, it is extremely important to properly moisturize the skin of the face, especially between the eyebrows. This will help maintain its elasticity and slow down the process of the appearance of mimic wrinkles as much as possible or get rid of them. Proper care will not give a 100% guarantee that it will be possible to remove or smooth out vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows, but will not allow the situation to worsen.
Serum against brow wrinkles
The anti-wrinkle serum on the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows, enriched with hyaluronic acid, is the best way to cope with the care. This anti-wrinkle and crease component is used in two forms: fragmented and high molecular weight. Their difference lies in the way they interact with the skin between the eyebrows.
Fragmented hyaluronic acid is great for fighting wrinkles and removing them because it contains small particles. They easily penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, preventing wrinkles and creases from appearing. Thus, the anti-aging effect of the product is enhanced, wrinkles are corrected and removed, skin elasticity is increased, which allows you to get rid of imperfections.
High molecular weight hyaluronic acid in the fight against wrinkles works differently and has its own advantages. With its help, you can easily achieve the visible effect of more toned and elastic skin, remove wrinkles on the bridge of the nose.
To delay the appearance of creases between the eyebrows or remove them on the forehead, such anti-brow wrinkles products (creams, masks, serums and patches) should be included in the skin care protocol starting from the age of 30.
How to smooth the creases between the eyebrows?
After a woman turns 40, her skin is especially vulnerable to wrinkles, and they are increasingly difficult to remove. It undergoes inevitable age-related changes, and women are forced to actively fight the causes of wrinkles. It is quite difficult to get rid of problem areas, especially to remove wrinkles on the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows. At the same time, mature skin with creases and wrinkles needs 5 times more time to recover than young skin*.
Emotions and wrinkles
The face and eyebrows with wrinkles are the first thing that gives out age. By evening, the skin no longer looks as elastic as in the morning after waking up, and the deepest wrinkles are difficult to remove, and they appear more clearly at the end of the day, before going to bed.
Women may be concerned about the appearance of wrinkles and the fact that the frown lines no longer smooth out and are difficult to remove. They cannot get rid of them, even when the muscles of the face and eyebrows are completely relaxed, explains Annie Cohen Lethie. “This is due to repetitive muscle contractions, progressive thinning of the skin between the eyebrows, and flattening of the dermal-epidermal junction at the bridge of the nose.
In other words, the skin between the eyebrows and on the bridge of the nose in the form of wrinkles “remembers” our facial expressions, which we use to express various emotions (anger, joy, laughter, etc.). There is even a whole direction – physiognomy, which, in particular, tries to explain what horizontal or vertical wrinkles and folds between the eyebrows mean and what they mean from a psychological point of view. And if at any early age wrinkles and folds are smoothed out by themselves and they do not need to be removed, for example, at 20 or 30 years old, then after 40 years this becomes impossible. At the same time, 100% control and monitoring of facial expressions and not frowning will not work, because. most of these muscle contractions occur unconsciously, especially in the area of the eyebrows.
