Wrinkles: Where do they come from?

FACIAL WRINKLES AND CHARACTER EXPRESSION

You can often get an idea of how old someone is by looking at his or her face - specifically the skin. As people age, it's normal to get wrinkles. And if the person has spent a lot of time in the sun, at tanning salons, or smoking cigarettes, he or she might have a lot of them.

Is it just aging? Sunbathing?  Over stressed?   In general, how skin ages and wrinkles forms is a complex process. It isn't just about cellular changes, collagen depletion, hormone loss, damage caused by free radicals, and so on; wrinkles are a combination of many factors. As normal use of your facial muscles will, as your skin become dryer the “frowning wrinkles” and the smiling too, will slowly appears.

One day you looked in the mirror and studied those fine lines that furrowed your brow, and you wondered: Where did those wrinkles come from?

A healthy lifestyle is with out a doubt a good form of prevention for premature wrinkles

You have to have an anti aging regimen: Always remember to wear a sunscreen before exposing your skin to the heat of the sun. You can also change your lifestyle by eating a healthy diet, drinking more water and by not smoking. By doing these things together with using the right wrinkle cream for your skin, you will have the healthy looking skin that you have ever wanted.

To help you understand the principles of how a good Anti-Wrinkle cream should work let start by giving you a short over view of your skin structure:

The skin is made up of three layers:

The outermost layer everyone can see called the epidermis, the middle layer, called the dermis the innermost layer, called the subcutaneous layer. When a person is young, he or she doesn't have wrinkles because the skin does a great job of stretching and holding in moisture. The dermis has an elastic quality thanks to fibers called elastin that keep the skin looking and feeling young. A protein in the dermis called collagen also plays a part in preventing wrinkles.

However, over time, the dermis loses both collagen and elastin, so skin gets thinner and has trouble getting enough moisture to the epidermis. The fat in the subcutaneous layer that gives skin a plump appearance also begins to disappear, the epidermis starts to sag, and wrinkles forms.

Now we have a better understanding of our skin; we know most of the transformations occurs in the epidermis which overtime lost is moisture and when low also take some moisture from the deeper subcutaneous layers where the fatty tissue gets dryer and your skin start forming wrinkles.

As we understand it, if we slow down the moisture from leaving the epidermis we will also slow down the visible premature aging of your face.
