In your quest for beautiful skin, you may have tried everything from anti-aging creams to laser treatments. But what if there were a simpler solution? Reducing wrinkles and fine lines doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. In fact, there are some simple things you can do every day that will make a big difference. Keep reading this complete guide to wrinkles to learn more!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Why do wrinkles appear?<\/h2>\n

Causes of skin aging<\/a> are grouped into two main categories: internal manifestations and external attacks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Internal manifestations<\/h3>\n

Cellular aging<\/h4>\n

The cells in our body are constantly renewing themselves. As we age, this process slows down and the skin’s ability to regenerate itself diminishes. This results in a decrease in collagen and elastin production<\/strong>, which leads to wrinkles and sagging skin.<\/p>\n

Hormonal changes<\/h4>\n

As we age, our hormone levels – such as estrogen and testosterone – change. This can cause a decrease in the production of oil<\/strong>, which can make skin dry and less elastic. All of that is why your skin starts to wrinkle.<\/p>\n

Oxidative stress<\/h4>\n

Another cause of wrinkles is oxidative stress. This happens when the body is exposed to harmful toxins<\/strong>, causing damage to cells and DNA. This can lead to inflammation and the breakdown of collagen and elastin.<\/p>\n

External attacks<\/h3>\n

UV radiation<\/h4>\n

One of the most common external attacks on the skin is UV radiation<\/strong>. This can come from sun exposure or artificial sources like tanning beds. UV radiation damages the DNA in skin cells<\/strong>, causing inflammation.<\/p>\n

Smoking<\/h4>\n

Smoking also causes oxidative stress and damage to collagen and elastin. It can also make skin dry and discolored<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Poor diet<\/h4>\n

A poor diet can also contribute to wrinkles and other signs of aging. Not getting enough vitamins and minerals<\/strong> can lead to a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, as well as oxidative stress.<\/p>\n

Lack of hydration<\/h4>\n

Another common cause of wrinkled skin is dehydration. When the body doesn’t get enough water, it starts to pull moisture from the skin. This can cause it to become dry, thin, and less elastic.<\/p>\n

Free radicals<\/a><\/h4>\n

Free radicals are unstable molecules that damage cells, causing wrinkles and other signs of aging. They are caused by things like pollution, UV rays, and cigarette smoke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Types of wrinkles<\/h2>\n

Wrinkles can be deep or superficial and appear anywhere on the face<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Expression lines<\/h3>\n

Those who have dynamic wrinkles<\/strong> will find that they start to appear in their 20s. These expression-induced crinkles form when we laugh, cry or shout for joy! They’re also called “dynamic” because of how quickly this type manifests over time – it can happen within just one day if you make tons of expressions with your face.<\/p>\n

\"What

While you’re aging, your skin is becoming less elastic.<\/p><\/div>\n

Smile lines<\/h4>\n

Smile lines, also called nasolabial folds, are the creases that appear from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth<\/strong>. These usually start to show in our mid-20s as well, but they can deepen over time with age and sun damage.<\/p>\n

Forehead wrinkles<\/h4>\n

Worry lines, or horizontal forehead wrinkles, are the most common type of wrinkle. They form as we furrow our brows in concentration or when we’re worried. They usually start to appear in our 30s<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Lion’s wrinkles<\/h4>\n

They are located between the eyes just above the nose. They represent the repeated folding of your frowns.<\/p>\n

Crow’s feet<\/h4>\n

They are the wrinkles on the outermost corners of your eyes when you smile. They usually appear in our 40s as we get older and our skin starts to lose elasticity.<\/p>\n

Barcode wrinkles<\/h4>\n

They are the horizontal lines that usually appear on appear above the upper lip. Although they can occur in anyone, they are particularly marked in people who smoke<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Rabbit’s wrinkles<\/h4>\n

They’re called “frown lines” because they descend from the corners of one’s nose down to their eyes.<\/p>\n

Old age wrinkles<\/h3>\n

Those wrinkles appear over time, from about forty years of age<\/strong>. They are the result of the internal and external manifestations listed above. The drop in collagen<\/a> and elastin production, less effective cell renewal, oxidative stress\u2026<\/p>\n
