One day when you look in the mirror,

you would be surprised at wrinkles in your face.

What causes the wrinkles might be nasolabial folds.

Nasolabial folds are the “enemies of women” because they make you look older.

After you notice nasolabial folds in your face,

you would be worried about them every time you look in the mirror.

An old tale says all the invincible soldiers have thorough knowledge of their enemies.

As you learn from this,

you can beat nasolabial folds if you know about the cause of them.

The main factor of nasolabial folds is the decline of mimetic muscle function.

If the mimetic muscle function declines,

a flabby face and dark rings under the eyes occur;

as a result, you look older.

In addition, the more facial expressions you have;

for example, you are a good laugher, the more easily you have wrinkles.

However, you can get rid of nasolabial folds by exercising mimetic muscles.

We’ll let you know about the seven facial exercises

that you can do in your home easily to get rid of nasolabial folds.

or can have them tend to have stiff muscles between the neck and the shoulder.
