smile lines getting deeper
 

Hi Iza,

I just published a new blog post on nasolabial folds, and I wanted to pull two things out of it for you directly — because they're worth trying today, not just reading.

You can read the full thing here: Face Yoga for Nasolabial Folds
(there's a video in there too with extra poses).

Two poses that help nasolabial folds, regardless of why yours are deepening. The first lifts the fold directly. The second lifts the cheek muscles above it — and when the cheeks lift, the fold softens along with them.

Pose 1: Nasolabial Folds Hands Lift. Place the sides of your index fingers along your nasolabial folds, thumbs along your jawline. Bring your elbows together and rest them on your chest. Let your head rest fully into your hands. Hold for 10 seconds, then release.

Pose 2: Profile Facelift. Place your right palm on the side of your face, thumb under your ear, and your left hand on your forehead. Move your right hand toward your ear at a 45-degree angle while lifting your left hand up. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat on the other side.

Do both sides evenly — folds are almost always a little deeper on one side, and working both helps even that out over time.

How you sleep matters too. Sleeping on your side presses your cheek into the pillow for hours every night, and over time, that pressure deepens the fold on that side. If you can, try sleeping on your back even a few nights a week.

These poses are a great start. But they're not the whole picture — folds don't all form for the same reason, and knowing why yours is happening changes what you should actually focus on. That's exactly what Tina's going to help you with, live, on Monday, July 13 at 9am PT.
