Some of you obsess about blackheads. This is my obsession. Nasolabial folds. The 2 creases that run from the nose to mouth.
Mine are beginning to show. When my face is at rest (not smiling). This is the part of my face I predict will age the fastest. Pst, if you want an idea of someone’s age – this is a good place to look 😉 More telling than eye wrinkles.
So what am I doing to slow it down? I apply peptide serums here – retinol and vitamin C too – to rebuild lost collagen. And firming treatments on the lower cheeks next to them.
I also get red LED light therapy plus use a microcurrent device (mine is by Nuface) to jumpstart my skin cells. Skin cells slow down with age and need a kick in the pants, which light & electrical energies can provide.
From Stage 2 (moderate folds) onwards, topical products aren’t much help. Dermal fillers are the only effective way to fill in those creases. I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it. Hopefully not for a long while!
