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.

Seven Easy Exercises
to Get Rid of Nasolabial Folds

1. Rolling Tongue Exercise

The rolling tongue exercise is so easy that you don’t need any preparations and

you can do it everywhere.

Close your mouth and roll your tongue along the surface of your teeth.

A set of the exercise consists of doing it 20 times each both clockwise and anticlockwise.

Do three sets of exercises a day.

This exercise develops muscles around the mouth and improves blood circulation.

2. Pushing Tongue Exercise

The pushing tongue exercise is also easy, but it’s effective.

Push your tongue touching the upper gums tightly for 20 seconds.

You should do it for three minutes in total a day.

This exercise also develops muscles around the mouth and improves blood circulation.

After you exercise,

you’ll have stiff facial muscles and feel it’s effective to get rid of nasolabial folds.

3. Tracing Tongue Exercise

When you do the tracing tongue exercise,

stretch your cheek muscles with imagining nasolabial folds are smoothed out from the inside.

First, push up the edge of the right nostril,

which is the starting point of nasolabial folds, by your tongue.

Then, trace the inside of nasolabial folds slowly up and down by your tongue.

Do those three times and do the left side in the same way.

It’s more effective to exercise with being conscious of stretching your muscles.

4. Cheek Balloon Exercise

The cheek balloon exercise helps cheek muscles stretch.

Muscles wouldn’t be able to shrink effectively and would decline if muscles become hard.

Therefore, if you keep your muscle relaxed and flexible,

nasolabial folds would disappear.

This exercise is easy,too.

Inflate your left and right cheeks like a balloon one after the other,

and keep inflating for five seconds.

Do those three times each both left and right cheeks with imagining nasolabial folds stretch.

5. Relaxing Mouth Exercise

You would have stiff mouth muscles if you feel sore

when you push under the nose and the corners of the mouth.

Nasolabial folds appear if you leave this stiffness.

Therefore, you should relax your mouth muscles.

First, push the outside of your lips with the first finger, the middle finger, and the third finger,

and massage between under the nose and the upper lip as if you shake it.

Then, shake and massage between the bottom lip and the jaw in the same manner.

If you feel sore, relax that part of muscles more thoroughly.

6. Neck Relaxing Exercise

You may wonder why we talk about a neck.

In fact, those who already have nasolabial folds

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

It is important to relax those muscles in order to improve blood circulation.

As the first step of neck relaxing exercise,

sit on a chair deeply and cross your arms behind your neck.

Shrug the shoulder blades and throw your chest out,

and then stretch your neck while tilting your head slowly to the back, the side, and the front.

Take about five seconds to tilt your head to each position.

7. Jaw Muscle Exercise

You may wonder again why we talk about a jaw.

That’s becuse the muscles that move tongue push up your cheeks

and help you prevent from making nasolabial folds.

First, look upward, put out and raise your tongue,

and stand still for five seconds.

Go back to the start and look upward again, and then, put out your tongue sideways.
