HOW DO YOU GET RID OF 11 LINES NATURALLY?

on

As we get older, it's only natural that our skin starts to change! The body isn't able to produce such high amounts of the key proteins that keep skin supple and strong, like collagen and elastin, and years of sun exposure, lifestyle factors, and repeated movements take their toll. This can result in the appearance of various facial wrinkles or lines. 11 lines are a very common form of facial wrinkle that appear on the forehead between the eyebrows and look like the number 11. In this guide, we’ll explain more about what 11 lines are, how they form, and how you can get rid of 11 lines naturally as well as immediately improve their appearance.


What are 11 Lines?

As alluded to at the beginning of this article, 11 lines are facial wrinkles that look like the number 11. They take the form of two vertical lines on either side of the space between the eyebrows, and they’re an example of a dynamic wrinkle- dynamic wrinkles are the ones that are created by muscle movements.

Scientifically speaking, 11 lines can also be referred to as glabellar lines. They appear beside the procerus muscles, which are located in the space between the bridge of the nose and the forehead, and it's these muscles that pull the skin around when you do certain facial expressions; typically, these lines form because of excessive squinting and frowning, but there are other factors that may cause these wrinkles to form.


The Causes of 11 Lines


Here are a few possible factors that can all contribute to the formation of 11 lines:

  • Facial Movements - By far the most common cause of 11 lines and many other dynamic facial lines and wrinkles is facial movement. Specifically, movements like frowning, raising the eyebrows, or having expressions of surprise, confusion, or concentration can all involve the muscles that trigger the formation of 11 lines.
  • Aging - Aging also has a part to play in the formation of 11 lines and other facial wrinkles. When you’re young, your skin is able to stay strong, supple, and highly elasticated, thanks to high levels of collagen and elastin. As you get older, those levels decrease, and the skin finds it harder to retain its smooth form and shape.
  • Sun Exposure - Sun exposure can also play a part in the development of 11 lines. Many people underestimate how powerful and damaging the sun can be; its UV rays are able to penetrate the deep layers of the skin and cause long-lasting oxidative stress and damage, leading to dryness, weakness, and wrinkles.
  • Lifestyle - There are also other factors that can play a part in 11 lines showing up earlier or being more pronounced in certain people. Things like diet, smoking, drinking, lack of exercise, skincare routine, and the type of work you do, for instance, may all have a small impact.
It's important to note that 11 lines can vary in their appearance and may be much more likely to show up in certain people, as opposed to others. This is because  people can have different facial structures, different genes, and different facial movements and habits, all of which can impact the chances of 11 lines appearing or not.

Some people may even have variations, like the single 1 line, which appears as a solid vertical line down the center of the forehead, or the 111 lines, which appear as three lines, with two at the ends of the brow and one in the center.

 

How to Get Rid of 11 Lines Naturally

Many people turn automatically to cosmetic procedures such as Botox to get rid of 11 lines on their forehead but there are other solutions to slow or remove the look of 11 lines, such as good skincare habits and cosmetic products.

Here are three ways you can diminish the appearance of 11 lines naturally: 

  1. Moisturize - The skin needs lots of hydrationto stay healthy, and this is why moisturizer is always recommended as a key part of any skincare routine. To help combat lines and wrinkles, it’s recommendedto make use of a strong and reliable moisturizing cream each and every day.
  2. Exfoliate - Exfoliating is the process of getting rid of dead skin cells from the face or body. Countless cellsdie each day and build up on the skin'ssurface, and they can clog up pores andmake the signs of aging worse. Exfoliating products can help to clear up the skin and promote better repair and cell rejuvenation. Additionally, exfoliating allows your daily skincare products to better penetrate the skin barrier resulting in better absorption of moisturizers and serums that can help reduce or diminish the appearance of lines and wrinkles.
  3. Sun Protection - It’s also recommended to make sure you protect your skin against the sun. This may not help to remove or get rid of 11 lines, but it can help to prevent them from getting any worse, as the sun’s rays could weaken your skin even more and lead to deeper lines and wrinkles.
