What Are Bunny Lines + Easy Ways To Fix Them

hile most of us may love bunnies, neither of us wants to look like one. Hence, the reason we try all too hard to get rid of bunny lines. For the uninitiated, bunny lines are diagonal and/or vertical wrinkles that appear beside the nose when you repeatedly corrugate your nose upward or squint. These lines aren’t always due to aging and often develop from constant muscle movement. But the older we get, the more the lines become pronounced, and at some point, your nose wouldn’t have to be creased for them to be detected. If they’re a bother, relax, as there are ways to prevent, control, and treat bunny lines for a total transformation.

What else causes them?

  • Lifestyle choices also play a major role in the pronouncement of these wrinkles. For instance, unhealthy sun exposure without constant use of sunscreen could worsen the condition.
  • And then there is smoking. Bunny lines aren’t exempted from the side effects of tobacco on your skin. Smoking breaks down the collagen produced by the body and repeatedly tenses up the muscles around the lip area. Smokers aren’t just liable to die young, but also liable to age faster.
  • While you may exempt yourself because you don’t smoke, do you drink enough water? If you’re dehydrated, it tends to affect your skin and can lead to the development of bunny lines.

Are there ways to prevent bunny lines?

According to skin experts, bunny lines aren’t as common as other forms of wrinkles because not everyone wrinkles their nose. But it can worsen with age, sun exposure, or when other work has been done on the face. The latter makes it obvious when it’s the only wrinkle left on the face. To avoid bunny lines, try limiting the facial movements on your nasal muscles that lead to them. If you crease your nose often, start training yourself to desist from the habit.

In addition, after getting injectables, be mindful of how you move your face. You may notice injectables often alter your facial movements. If you keep forcing it, you could end up squeezing the sides of your nose more, further emphasizing those bunny lines.

Finally, a good skin care regimen will always be helpful to prevent these wrinkles. Amp up your routine with anti-aging ingredients like retinol and collagen to avoid making the lines more visible. Work these products in with a facial massage. It helps relax the facial muscles and reduce stress, thus aiding the skincare products to take effect better.

Treatments

The number one tested and proven way to curb nose wrinkles is through the use of wrinkle relaxers like Botox. When you get work done on your face, it restricts the use of the muscles, and then others have to over-compensate with more movement. The best way is to use the same botox to straighten things out completely. It is less invasive than other cosmetic procedures, and the results are immediate and last for about four months. But like everything in life, balance is key. If you overuse it, the excess procedure can take a toll on your skin. In addition to looking stiff, overuse could cause more harm than good.
