WHAT CAUSES WRINKLES

Skin around eyes is thinner, more fragile, more prone to dryness and involved in the variety of facial expressions. You smile, frown, squint, laugh, cry and so on – all these emotions and actions involve constant movement of the eyes and skin around it. These could lead to early fine lines and wrinkle appearance.

Laugh lines, crow’s feet, and wrinkles are skin problems that are commonly associated with getting old. When our skin ages, it loses its elasticity which causes some areas to show fine lines and wrinkles. But did you know that on many occasions, getting old isn’t the only reason why wrinkles appear on your face? Wrinkles and fine lines are also caused by various environmental factors and our lifestyle. So if you maintain a poor diet, take stress, or don’t sleep much, you are likely going to get wrinkles before you hit a certain age. You won’t believe how much your daily habits can have an impact on your physical appearance. To help you understand, we have created a short list of causes of wrinkles that have nothing to do with getting older. At the end of this post, we’ll also discuss how you can prevent wrinkles and treat them with dermatological products.

The Main Causes of Facial Wrinkles

Pollution The environment we live in plays a huge role when it comes to our physical appearance. An environment that is polluted with toxic fumes and emissions from industry and vehicles can cause deep wrinkles and fine lines on the skin. In fact, a study published in 2010 found that people who live in urban settings had more wrinkles and age spots compared to people living in rural areas over a 20+ year period. If you are living in a city that suffers from heavy pollution, then you need to protect your skin to stop wrinkles from appearing on the skin.

The Sun Nearly everyone knows that the damage from ultraviolet rays from the sun can cause a variety of skin problems. But what you probably didn’t know was that the UVA rays can cause sunburn that can lead to premature aging of the skin, causing wrinkles and fine lines. So next time you think about lying in sandy beaches under the sun, protect your skin from UVA rays to prevent premature aging of the skin.

Stress We already know the impact of stress on our mental health, but did you know that stress also changes the way we look? Stress is known to increase cortisol levels in the body that causes the skin to lose its ability to hold moisture. When this happens, the collagen and elastin fibers in the skin get damaged. These two act as crucial support for the skin protecting against skin problems like wrinkles and fine lines. Try your best to find ways to de-stress if you don’t want it to show on your face.

Lack of Sleep One of the biggest causes of a variety of diseases and health problems in adults is lack of sleep. Sleep is essential to help you feel and look your best. Sleep also has to do a lot with weight loss. But what you probably never thought of is that a lack of sleep can cause a variety of skin related problems too. When you don’t sleep enough, you are basically messing the pH levels of the skin that causes the skin cells to lose their ability to remain hydrated. And when the skin cells are not hydrated well, they tend to show this in the form of wrinkles on the skin.

Smoking This should not surprise you at all. Smoking is one of the biggest culprits behind several minor and major diseases in human beings. Smoking also has a lot to do with wrinkles. The toxins that release from the cigarette as you smoke can accelerate the aging of the skin, which in return starts to show fine lines and wrinkles.

Forever Young Revitalising Cream

Forever Young Revitalising Cream restores the cells’ ability to retain moisture and stimulates the cells’ own production of collagen and elastin for a faster cell replacement cycle.

Collagen is vital for the creation of new cells, but only the body’s own collagen is effective for the production of new cells. The principal aim of the Forever Young Revitalising Cream therefore, is to restore the cell’s ability to produce its own collagen and to help it retain moisture, as though it is a younger skin.
