How to Get Rid of Frown Lines Without Botox

Frown lines or deep nasolabial folds that are deeply ingrained are hard to get rid of. These are acquired lines and not natural markings that a person is born with. After years of using these muscles, the lines will deepen and there is no way of completely removing them without chemicals. There are methods that will make them less noticeable and less deeply ingrained though.

Instructions

• 1

  Apply lip balm to your lips and surrounding area every morning and every night before retiring to bed. This will help to keep the area hydrated, which will help reduce frown lines and prevent new ones from occurring.

• 2

  Drink 10 glasses of water a day. It has been found that when a person drinks the recommended amounts of water daily, the skin has more resilience and will gain elasticity, causing the skin to go back to its natural form easier. The recommended daily intake of water is good for replenishing the skin with moisture so that the folds and frown lines are less noticeable.

• 3

  Eat a balanced diet low in fats and carbohydrates. A fat content of less than 30 grams a day and carbohydrates of less than 20 grams per serving will help to keep your diet balanced when on a 1,200 calorie diet. Avoid added sugars and substitutes for natural sugars. A balanced diet will help to rid the body of fats and oils that build up around the frown lines as well as give the body nutrients to rebuild the area.

  Exercise for 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. Cardiovascular exercises such as jogging or walking will increase the heart rate. Weight-bearing exercises such as push-ups or lunges with weights will help strengthen bones and also help to burn off fat that is already stored in the body. Keeping your body healthy will help to reduce frown lines because good circulation is important not only to your entire body but also to your face.
