Wrinkles are
small creases caused by folding or shrinking of the skin.
They could
appear on the face, neck and hands.
Wrinkles result from a fall in the
production of the protein compounds
elastin and collagen as you age.
Skin that
has also suffered damage appears thinner and loses fat content, elasticity and
smoothness.
It is a fact
that ageing comes along with wrinkles but premature wrinkles are a cause of
concern to many.
Some cause
of wrinkles include:
- Pollution
: exposure to dust, chemicals and
pollutants can cause wrinkles on skin overtime.
-
Weight
loss : going through rapid loss of
weight could lead to wrinkles as the quantity of fat cells radically decreases
causing skin to drop.
-
Smoking
: This is a major cause of wrinkles. The toxic emitted
from cigarettes contain a large amount of free radicals that speed up ageing
process.
-
Stress
