What Causes Wrinkles?

Check Our Wrinkle Guide To Identify Any Problem Areas:

Beyond the normal aging process, several factors can affect how soon you may develop facial wrinkles. Some of the causes of those wrinkles include:

Genetics:
You are more likely to develop wrinkles early if your parents experienced the early onset of wrinkles.

Skin Color:
Typically, lighter skinned people experience a higher level of sun damage, which can speed up wrinkles.

Smoking:
The correlation between smoking and accelerated wrinkles is due to the reduced blood supply to your skin.

Your Job:
If you find that you are outside quite a bit for your profession, the additional sun exposure can speed up wrinkling.

Clothing:
Wearing hats and long sleeves will protect you from the sun’s harmful rays and further postpone the development of wrinkles.

Hair Style:
You may be surprised to find that some hairstyles will actually provide more shade and protection from sun!

Facial expressions:
If you spend a lot of time smiling, frowning, or squinting, you will develop fine lines and wrinkles earlier compared to those who don’t. When you are young your skin springs back easily. However, later in life, your skin loses its flexibility which can lead to permanent grooves in your face.
