Prevention is everything when it comes to wrinkles. As we age, our skin naturally becomes thinner, less moist, and slower to repair itself. Less collagen is produced and the elastin fibers wear out, making skin less elastic.
Here are the culprits that cause wrinkles, and what you can do to prevent them.
Culprit #1: Sun Exposure
Sun exposure accounts for 90% of the symptoms of premature skin aging. The lighter your pigmentation, the quicker your skin will damage. A "healthy tan" is actually accumulated skin damage.
Prevention: Shield your skin from the sun with clothes, a hat, and an umbrella. Liberally apply sunscreen of at least SPF 15 to exposed areas.
Culprit #2: Smoking
Smoking produces free radicals, unattached electrons that rampage through the cells destroying collagen and creating wrinkles. Smokers have earlier, more, and deeper wrinkles.
Prevention: Do not smoke, or breath smoke or otherwise polluted air.
Culprit #3: Facial Muscle Contractions
Habitual facial expressions causes wrinkles as the face loses elasticity. Frown lines and crows feet develop as the tiny muscles contract.
Prevention: Wear sunglasses to avoid squinting, and practice a relaxed, neutral expression.
Culprit #4: Sleep Position
Sleeping on your stomach puts pressure on your face and chest that will cause wrinkles.
Prevention: Sleep on your back.
Culprit #5: Dryness
As we age, our skin produces less sebum, the oil that protects skin and makes it glow. Dry skin wrinkles more easily, and takes longer to repair.
Prevention: Use a good moisturizer to compensate for the skin's loss of sebum.
Culprit #6: Poor Lifestyle
If you live like an average American, you'll look like an average American. Take care of yourself, and it will show.
Prevention: The same 7 things maintain good health for every tissue in the body, including your skin: eat a healthy diet, exercise, get enough sleep, control stress, don't smoke, stay out of the sun, and drink lots of water.
You can prevent wrinkles by staying out of the sun or using sunblock. I've heard it also helps if you sleep on your back, (something about the pull of gravity), it helps prevent wrinkles- but sleeping on your stomach can actually lead to wrinkles. You can also use cream for wrinkles that can help make them go away. Hope this helps!! :)
