Five
Aging Facial Habits
There
are 5 things you are probably doing to your
face every day that age it...I'll bet you
don't realize what they are...and… you can
actually stop doing them right away, today!
I'll tell you!
Did
you know that we are very often responsible
for putting age lines in our face ourselves,
as well as causing facial muscles to become
prematurely limp? Lines and weak muscles start
minutely...and can be encouraged or discouraged
by our habits.
Certain
habits can be responsible for premature aging
of the face and weak muscle tone. These actions
are easily stopped once we become aware of
them. They are generally unconscious habits
developed over the years.
In
order to alter these reflexes, all it takes
is a conscious effort for a few days, then
new, more positive habits take over and become
automatic! The best way to check these things
out is to ask a good friend or family member
to keep an eye on you to see if you are unconsciously
doing any of the following:
Nervous
Facial Habits,
FROWNING:
We all have to work on this one. Frowning
too frequently can turn into a permanent frown
without our realizing it. Do you frown when
you read? Do you need new glasses? This is
one you really need to ask a friend to watch
for you.
RUBBING
EYES: Yes, we all rub our eyes. But if you
are rubbing often and too hard (not good),
see your doctor to test for allergies. They
may tell you eye drops will help sooth the
eyes. Hard, continued rubbing of your eyes
can break down the tissue of the eyelids leading
to prematurely loose skin.
MOUTH:
Turning the corners of your mouth down while
thinking or reading and also puckering your
lips (as when smoking) will eventually make
premature lines permanent.
Daily repetition of lip puckering and mouth
curling can ultimately cause this area to
look old before your time.
Sunglasses,
Wearing
good sunglasses is a must. The Sun causes
us to squint. Chronic squinting, for any reason,
creates and deepens lines around our eyes.
In time, they will become a permanent part
of the face. Ophthalmologists suggest, for
better long term care, wear sunglasses of
natural tone colors - brown or gray. They
also say that wearing good sunglasses can
help prevent the development of cataracts.
I believe it.
Leaning
Face In Hands,
It
almost sounds silly, but many of us rest our
jaw or face in our hands while reading, or
watching TV. If this is a regular, daily habit
for several hours, it can even affect the
teeth and jaw line...actually "move them."
This is especially true for children...keep
an eye on their habits and tell them why it's
not a good idea to do this all the time.
Blowing
Nose Too Hard,
This
is difficult to avoid sometimes. If you have
a cold, sinus or hay fever don't rub hard,
or twist the skin around the nose and mouth
area. Excessive stretching of the skin can
loosen the delicate fibers of the epidermis
and cause premature wrinkles. Just as important,
the skin around the nose is easily irritated.
The pressure, twisting and rubbing can cause
tiny blood vessels to rupture, resulting in
a permanent, tiny red line around the base
of your nose.
A
Baby Pillow? What Can IT Do?
Plenty!
While you're sleeping, your face sinks down
deep into a large pillow, causing, as you
grow older, early morning lines in your face
that take longer and longer to "thaw
out!" As the years pass, those morning
lines become permanent.
A baby pillow seems to correct this, since
most of the time we do not awaken in the morning
with those awful lines in our face. Try it.
A small pillow also helps prevent a double
chin by keeping the head flatter, in line
with the spine, allowing the neck and chin
to stretch.
