All of us want to look younger than our
real age. Wrinkles on the forehead are a sign of aging. As we age, our skin is
not as elastic when we were young. The lack of elasticity causes wrinkles in
old age. As we age, older cells of the skin also die and regenerate. The
process slows down with age, and fine lines and wrinkles begin to appear. The
movement of facial muscles also causes wrinkles on the forehead. Wrinkles are
also caused by exposure to the sun and dehydration.
There are two layers in the skin, epidermis
and dermis. Lack of moisture causes fine lines in skin’s surface. Collagen and
elastin break down to cause sagging in the skin, eventually turning into
wrinkles. Wrinkles are caused by free radicals, exposure to sunlight, hormonal
imbalance, muscle use and gravity. Exposure to sunlight cause wrinkles by
breaking down collagen. Free radicals damage cell function and change genetic
structure to cause wrinkles in the skin. Heavy smokers develop excessive
wrinkles on the face. Repeated facial expressions also cause certain fine lines
and wrinkles. Facial muscle contraction causes facial wrinkles, wrinkles around
eyes, crow’s feet, frown lines. People who are dieting, changing their food
habits often, lose weight suddenly also experience wrinkles on the face.
Prevention of signs of aging:
If we know what causes wrinkles on our
facial skin, we can also prevent them. Protect facial skin from the sun. Facial
skin exposed to the sun gets tanned. It is a sign of skin damage when
ultraviolet rays of the sun penetrate the skin. It takes years of sun exposure
to cause wrinkles on facial skin. The face, especially, is more prone to skin
damage. With age, the ability of skin to stay hydrated reduces. It results in formation
of wrinkles. Smoking also causes wrinkles on the skin. Signs of aging appear
faster on the face because of smoking, it makes your face look older than you
are. Wrinkles are more likely to appear if you are a heavy smoker. Wrinkles can
also be prevented with the help of food and liquids rich in antioxidants such
as pomegranates, acai and blueberries. Wearing sunglasses, application of
sunscreen also protects skin around the eyes. Application of sunscreen should
be part of everyday routine for us to protect our facial skin. There are many
things that may help you avoid wrinkles. These include creams, peels, and
botox.
