WHAT IS A WRINKLE?

WrinklesA wrinkle is defined as a fold or crease in the skin. These folds and creases appear due to the aging process. The wrinkles may be temporary or permanent. Temporary wrinkles appear as a result of sleeping habits, or immersing hands or feet in water for longer periods. The permanent wrinkles appear due to aging process like glycation, smoking, sun damage, drugs, poor hydration and many more.

WHAT ARE THE CAUSES OF WRINKLES?

As discussed above, wrinkles could be due to some temporary causes or certain permanent causes. These causes could affect individually or in combinations. Some of the causes are:

  • Age: With growing age the skin loses its elasticity and becomes more fragile. The skin becomes dry and the natural oils in the skin decrease. This leads to wrinkle formation.
  • Gender: It is more common in women as women have fewer sweat glands, fewer blood vessels, and more sebaceous glands.
  • UV rays: They speed up the aging process as the UV rays breakdown your collagen and elastin fibres so your skin loses its strength and flexibility.
  • Smoking: Smoking damages the blood vessels and blood supply to your skin and promotes aging.
  • Poor nutrition: Poor nutrition speeds up aging and promotes wrinkles.
