Facial wrinkles are a comprehensive manifestation of skin aging, expression habits, and skin condition, and are recognized in the skin care field.Eight facial wrinkles, distributed in core areas such as the forehead, around the eyes, middle face, and around the mouth. The cause, shape, and degree of aging of each pattern are different. Only by accurately distinguishing the types of wrinkles can we avoid ineffective anti-aging and carry out targeted repair and prevention. The following is a detailed analysis of the eight major wrinkles.
1. Head-up pattern (forehead pattern)
The head-up line is located in the forehead area and is the most likely line to appear early. In the early stages, they are mostly dynamic lines, which are formed by repeated pulling on the forehead skin due to frequent facial movements such as raising eyebrows, opening eyes, and looking up. After long-term neglect, they will gradually transform into static horizontal lines, accompanied by slack and depression of the forehead skin. The main causes are poor expression habits, overdevelopment of frontal muscles, loss of collagen, and dry skin. Long-term failure to improve will cause sagging forehead skin and lower the overall facial line.
2. Sichuan character pattern (eyebrow pattern)
The Sichuan character pattern appears between the eyebrows, in a vertical strip pattern, resembling the word "Sichuan". Most of them stem from long-term frowning, high pressure, habitual squinting and other actions. The muscles between the eyebrows frequently contract and squeeze the skin, forming folds. They are typical emoticons and are also easy to appear in younger people. Long-term accumulation will form deep static lines, making the face look tired, serious, and old. The lines are deep and difficult to repair.
3. Crows 'feet (corners of the eyes)
Distributed on the outer side of the tail of the eye, with radial fine lines, which are the landmark lines of eye aging. The skin around the eyes is the thinnest area of the body and the fewest sebaceous glands. It lacks water, fat, and has poor elasticity. Love to laugh, frequent blinking, staying up late, and ultraviolet radiation will accelerate the aging of the skin at the end of the eyes. The initial stage will be dynamic fine lines, and the later stage will solidify into static dry lines and deep lines, which will also be accompanied by slack and sagging at the end of the eyes.
4. Eye bag lines (lower eyelid lines)
It is located in the lower eyelid and is divided into fine line type and loose type. Shallow eye bags are mostly false dry lines caused by dryness and lack of water; deep lines are mostly caused by staying up late, excessive eye use, and aging, which leads to loss of collagen around the eyes, relaxation and bulging of orbital septum fat, accompanied by the appearance of eye bags and lacrimal grooves. This type of pattern can easily make the eyes appear bloated and tired, and is also one of the core patterns that show aging.
5. Nasal dorsal lines
The short horizontal stripes appearing on both sides of the bridge of the nose and above the nose are easily ignored by the public. The main causes are habitual nose pinching, pulling the nose when laughing, and dry and aging nose skin. Although the lines are shallow, they will make the skin on the face appear rough and loose, and will easily connect with the law lines, which will increase the visual effect of the collapse of the face. It is difficult for most people to fade it down after appearing.
6. Dharma lines (nasolabial folds)
The ravine lines extending from both sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth are the core lines that look most old on the face. The causes are divided into three categories: dynamic lines formed by facial traction, false lines caused by dryness, and true depressed static lines caused by collagen loss + soft tissue sagging. As you get older, the apple muscles move downward and the facial support is insufficient. The decree lines will continue to deepen, directly stretching down the flatness of the face. They are the key lines for anti-aging improvement.
7. Puppet pattern (corner pattern)
Located below both sides of the corner of the mouth, it has an arc-shaped drooping pattern, resembling the pattern of the corner of a puppet. Different from Dharma patterns, the core causes of puppet patterns are overall facial relaxation, facial relaxation, corner muscles, and loss of collagen at the lower jaw margin. It usually appears gradually after the age of 25, making the face appear saggy, haggard, and old. It is also the key line to show the face saggy, often appearing together with the law lines and the jaw lines.
8. Neck pattern
The horizontal lines on the neck are those that easily expose age. The skin on the neck is thin and has a lot of activity. Daily lowering of head, sitting on the desk, rubbing, and ultraviolet exposure will accelerate the formation of lines. In the early stage, there are superficial dry lines, and in the later stage, dark, static and deep lines will be formed. In addition, neck metabolism is slow and skin care is easy to ignore. Once deep neck lines are formed, the repair cycle is long and difficult.
Summary: Two core categories of wrinkles
The eight major wrinkles can be divided into two categories for convenient symptomatic care:dynamic pattern(Due to facial expression, reversible and preventable),static pattern(Caused by collagen loss, relaxation and depression, deep anti-aging repair is needed). Daily skin care mainly focuses on moisturizing water, inhibiting expression folding, replenishing collagen, and tightening skin. It can effectively delay the formation and deepening of various lines.
