Expression lines are the pesky reminders of every smile, frown, and squint we’ve ever made. Over time, our skin loses elasticity, and those lines, which once disappeared when our expressions changed, start to become a permanent fixture on our face. But what causes them, and can we really diminish their appearance naturally? Let’s explore.
commonly referred to as laugh lines, frown lines, or crow’s feet, are the result of repetitive facial movements. Our skin is like a piece of paper: the more you fold it, the more pronounced the crease becomes. Combine this with the natural loss of collagen and elasticity as we age, and you have a recipe for more pronounced lines and wrinkles.
Spilanthol vs. Paracress Extract Acmella Oleracea, more commonly known as the Paracress flower, originates from South American territories, especially Brazil. Here’s a closer look at its key components:
Spilanthol: This is the primary active molecule in Paracress. It works by reducing muscle tension, making it particularly effective against dynamic expression lines that form from repeated facial movements. By relaxing facial tension, the appearance of these lines is diminished.
Paracress Extract: This is a broader term that encompasses the whole extract obtained from the Paracress plant. While Spilanthol is the star compound, the entire extract contains other beneficial compounds, including antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, which work synergistically to benefit the skin.
Boosting Collagen Production: Collagen is the protein responsible for our skin’s firmness and elasticity. As we age, its production naturally decreases. However, Acmella Oleracea has shown potential in stimulating collagen production, thus restoring some of the skin’s lost elasticity and firmness.
Atopic Dermatitis: Beyond its anti-aging properties, Paracress extract has shown promise in alleviating the symptoms of atopic dermatitis. This is likely due to its anti-inflammatory properties, which soothe irritated skin and reduce redness.
Injections can be invasive, expensive, and come with potential side effects. Paracress offers a natural alternative that can be easily incorporated into your daily skincare routine. Over time, with consistent use, one can expect a reduction in the appearance of expression lines, softer and more supple skin, all without a needle in sight.
Scientific Studies
“Spilanthes acmella- an important medicinal plant” talks about Acmella oleracea or Paracress better known as the toothache plant :
Several studies have been conducted to explore the anti-aging benefits of Paracress flower extract:
Study 1: A 2018 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science found that Spilanthol could reduce muscle contractions, thereby decreasing the appearance of expression lines.
Study 2: A 2017 study in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology discussed the traditional use of Paracress for oral and dental pain relief, which hints at its muscle-relaxing capabilities.
