WHAT ARE NOSE TO MOUTH LINES?

For most of us, nose to mouth lines / smile lines – also known as nasolabial folds – are nothing to smile about. These lines and creases run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth, and are the result of the loss of facial volume and skin elasticity as we age. 

WHY ARE NOSE TO MOUTH LINES FORMED?

They are different from other lines on the face in that they do not always mean age. Laugh lines/nose to mouth lines appear due to repeated movement. Great talkers and smilers are more likely to have deep nose to mouth lines than people who have little to say. This is how teenagers and people in their 20’s may have noticeable nose to mouth lines but the skin on the rest of their face is smooth. 

Deeper more pronounced nose to mouth lines that are apparent even when you are not smiling could point to the usual culprits in skin wrinkling. Age, damage from the sun exposure and collagen and elasticity habits like smoking. With little elasticity, most skin on the face begins to sag and cheeks fall. When cheeks fall, the nasolabial fold also collapses resulting in laugh lines.

You can prevents nasolabial lines from growing any deeper by practicing better skin care. Always use sunscreen and quit smoking. eating a diet rich in anti-oxidants and minerals will also help stop laugh lines.
