What Causes Wrinkles ?

Our Natural Process of aging is that as we age our bodies skin cells will begin to divide more slowly, and our dermis which is the second layer of the skin which gives us our volume, will begin to thin.

Wrinkles will begin to develop as we get older due to our natural substances like collagen, Elastin and Hyaluronic acid start to decrease.

Our ability to retain water in the skin will decrease and our oil producing glands will begin to degenerate which in turn will deprive our skin of its own water lipid emulsions which is what helps protect our skin from its external factors.

As a result of this our skin will become drier,and our elastin in the skin will weaken and when pressed it will no longer spring back to its original position and instead it will sag and form wrinkles.

In addition to this our habitual facial expressions will also begin to develop contributing to the formation of ‘jowls’ and or, ‘drooping eyelids’. These are also described as our characteristic lines which can also radiate from the corner of the eyes ( crows feet ) and form on the forehead ( frown lines)

Pre Mature Aging can also occur as a result of over exposing our skin to the sun.

Sun damage is about 90% accountable for the cause and effect of prematurely aging skin, and the scary part is that most of the damage is done by the age of 20.

Both UVA ( aging rays) and UVB ( burning rays ) will cause or lead to wrinkles by damaging the skins natural substance production of collagen, elastin and weakens the skins immunity to fight off infections within the skin.

External Factors such as environmental changes, smoking, and pollution will create free radicals within the skin which will lead to the damage of our cell membranes and can potentially lead to the wrinkles and more importantly skin cancers.

The effects of... Gravity Muscle action (creates dynamic wrinkles) Volume loss Environmental damage e.g. Smoking Sun exposure ...all contribute to the formation of forehead wrinkles.
