False wrinkles? Real wrinkles? I can't tell the difference

As people age, they will develop wrinkles. Wrinkles reflect that a person's body is aging. However, many people have wrinkles even though they are not yet at that age. Why is this happening?

1. How to distinguish real wrinkles from fake ones?

Wash your face first, moisten it, relax your skin in front of the mirror, observe your skin condition when you have no expression, and then make a series of happy, angry, sad, and joyful expressions. If there are no wrinkles when you have no expression, but wrinkles appear at the corners of your eyes, mouth, and between your eyebrows when you make an expression, this is pseudo-wrinkles (also called dynamic wrinkles).

However, if you can still see clear wrinkles even when your face is expressionless, then it is certain that your wrinkles have been formed for a long time and have become true wrinkles (also called static wrinkles).

2. People who are prone to pseudo-wrinkles (dynamic wrinkles)

Age group: 25~35 years old

Skin features: Thin, short lines around the eyes and mouth

Causes: photoaging, habitual facial expressions, skin dehydration, work pressure, irregular life, lack of sleep, excessive weight loss, etc. Photoaging is the biggest killer of false wrinkles. Ultraviolet radiation causes the skin to lack water and form small cracks, which are reflected on the face as fine wrinkles.

3. How to fight against false wrinkles

Get rid of bad habits: any facial expressions may form expression lines if you make them too often. The most representative ones are as follows:

1. Frowns between eyebrows: wrinkles when facing greater pressure or thinking

2. Horizontal fine lines at the inner and outer corners of the eyes - habit of squinting to see things

3. Wrinkles at the corners of the eyes - laugh often

4. Forehead lines: often raising eyebrows or widening eyes

5. Nasal lines – often worried or pouting

6. Fine lines on lips: Frequent smoking

No more staying up late

Staying up late is the enemy of the skin and can accelerate the aging of the skin at an unimaginable rate, so staying up late for more than two consecutive days should not exceed.

Pay attention to sun protection

Take good sun protection measures to completely eliminate the factors that cause skin aging due to ultraviolet rays. Pay attention to eye sun protection. Especially in strong sunlight, wear sunglasses or a sun hat.

Circulation and massage

Due to both "internal factors" such as poor blood circulation and "external factors" such as old stratum corneum, the skin will lose its luster and develop wrinkles. Only by using skin care products that can enhance and promote skin metabolism can dull skin have a healthy complexion.

4. True wrinkle groups (static wrinkles) are likely to appear

Age group: 35 years and above

Skin features: Forehead wrinkles, nasolabial folds, and crow's feet appear one after another. As the skin becomes loose, the wrinkles gradually deepen.

Causes: After the age of 35, metabolism begins to slow down, the functions of sebaceous glands and sweat glands gradually decline, and the internal fiber reserves supporting the skin surface are gradually exhausted, causing the skin's internal outward tension to continue to decrease, and local areas begin to sink, so wrinkles are generated and become more obvious.

5. How to fight against real wrinkles

Modern medical technology does have many options for solving true wrinkles, including injections, tissue transplants, and facelifts. These methods have different applications, effects, and recovery periods. The latest wrinkle removal trend is laser wrinkle removal, which is very beneficial for facial rejuvenation.
