 Wrinkles defined are a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Wrinkles are classified into two different categories: fine lines and deeper groves. Fine lines appear on the surface of the skin and are easier to fix, where as deeper groves penetrate farther into the skin and are harder to fix, requiring a more powerful approach such as fillers, Botox or plastic surgery. As our skin ages, it is subject to more harmful environmental toxins resulting in wrinkles.
Some of the main causes are:
Sun Damage: The majority of wrinkles appear on skin that is over exposed to the sun, these areas are the face, neck, top of hands and forearms. It is best if you stay covered during the day to prevent the sun’s harmful rays from damaging the skin. Wearing hats, long sleeves or pants help tremendously.
Aging: Unfortunately we cannot stop the aging process but we can make sure that we are providing our skin with the essential nutrients required to keep our skin healthy. Acknowledging that aging is a part of life and promoting good healthy habits will reduce wrinkles.
Habitual Facial Expressions: Try not to scrunch your forehead, squint your eyes, frown etc. When we do this on a daily basis it takes a toll on your skin causing wrinkles. I have also found that exercising your facial muscle help reduce wrinkles.
Smoking: Smoking effects your skin in more ways than one. First smoking impairs blood flow to the outer layer of the skin, with less blood flow less oxygen and nutrients make it to the skin causing the elasticity to reduce. Second the facial expressions you make while you are smoking, usually when inhaling a cigarette you pucker your lips and when exhaling the cigarette, you squint your eyes to ensure the smoke doesn’t get in them. Repeated acts like this cause the skin to wrinkle.
Poor Hydration: The skin, organs and all bodily tissue require water. Water is so important at keeping the skin glowing and healthy. Environmental factors affecting the skin by making it dry and irritated can be minimized with hydration of the skin.
Good Luck!!~ Kellilynn Marie |
