NATURAL REMEDIES FOR WRINKLES


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
