Skin Wrinkles

What Skin Wrinkles Are

As you age, the decrease in production of natural oils in the deeper layers dries your skin. The result? Your skin gradually loses elasticity and becomes fragile. In other words, your dried, saggy skin starts forming Skin Wrinkles and fine lines – and little by little, deeper folds.

Being particularly delicate, the face skin tends to lose elasticity more quickly. The face is the first to develop fine lines and Skin Wrinkles in areas naturally folding due to facial expressions.

What Causes Wrinkles in the skin?

The short answer is the decreased production of natural fat in the skin as you age.

The natural oils produced in the deeper layers of your skin diminishes as you get older. This results in the skin to lose elasticity and to become saggy and loose.

Over time and as the skin gets more fragile due to loss of natural fat, the wrinkles and crevices become deeper and more pronounced.

How to Prevent Wrinkles

10 Tips to Limit Skin Wrinkles:

1. Stay sun-protected

Stay away from ultraviolet (UV) rays

Needless to explain, sun exposure causes skin damage, which – in turn – results in premature wrinkles and overall aging of the skin.

The solution? Regular use of sunscreen can slow down the appearance of skin aging, skin wrinkles and fine lines.

Daily use of an SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 30 to 50 – EVEN IN CLOUDY DAYS – is key.

It is crucial not to skip using sunscreen just because it is overcast because UV are capable of penetrating clouds.

As extra layers of protection against sun damage, it is advised to wear hats with wide brims, UV-proof sunglasses and light-colored clothes that reflect – rather than absorb – the sun rays.

2. Do not smoke

It’s a given that tobacco smoke destroys collagen and elastin, the two skin fibers responsible for elasticity and firmness.

On the other hand, nicotine in cigarettes causes constriction in your blood vessels, which slows down the blood and oxygen flow to the skin. This can also shrink the amount of vitamin A and other important nutrients that your skin should receive.

Another damaging factor originating in smoking is the heat, which – along with repeated pursing – leads to wrinkles around the mouth.

3. Stay hydrated

It goes without saying that water is needed for basically everything your body does, including helping with digestion, regulating your temperature, flushing out toxins. So, drinking enough water is essential for staying healthy.

Though as far as your skin is concerned, water is responsible for keeping it hydrated, youthful and healthy!

4. Moisturize thoroughly

As we just discussed, hydrating is the key to youthful skin since it makes wrinkles less visible by helping your skin look plump. Hydrating can also slow down the formation of future wrinkles and creases.

However, when it comes to moisturizing, most people remember to moisturize the face but may neglect the neck.

In other words, wrinkle preventing is not just about moisturizing chin-up but also chin-down.

There is a plethora of moisturizers for different areas of your skin, all of which are formulated to target skin wrinkles and fine lines. Deciding which one(s) will be suitable for your skin can look easier than it actually is.

Ask Dr Farah Rahravan, Pharmacist and Dermal Therapist at SkinCarely skin care clinic in Donvale, Melbourne, VIC which one(s) to pick!

5. Use a retinoid

Retinoids, basically derived from vitamin A, are among the well investigated anti-wrinkle chemicals. Retinoids, otherwise known as retinol, are capable of increasing collagen production. The result? Plumping up your skin!

In addition to stimulating collagen production, Retinoids promote skin rejuvenation and regeneration by encouraging the formation of new blood vessels. That is the solution to skin overall appearance and textures issues, such as thread veins and rosacea.

Retinoids are classified into 5 main types based on their degree of potency. Some retinols can be found in form of topical gels and creams and purchased over the counter.

Other types of retinols are prescription-only and require professional approval to obtain. Unauthorized or incorrect use of retinols may result in unplanned-for peeling and other skin damages.

Be sure to ALWAYS consult with a specialist to see which type of retinoids is right for YOU!

6. Take vitamins

Germans put it this way: “Du bist was du isst!” and, when it comes to taking care of your Skin Wrinkles, it becomes particularly true: “You are what you eat!”

Vitamins are among especially effective ingredients in wrinkle reduction recipes.

Vitamin C, in specific, can prevent skin wrinkles and fine lines from getting deeper or even forming in the first place.

Vitamin-rich foods that are high in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties can protect your skin against premature aging, wrinkles and fine lines by improving the skin elasticity.

IMPORTANT

Keep in mind that unhealthy snacks, sugary drinks and large amounts of red meat are not among the vitamin-rich foods but they actually help skin wrinkles appear or deepen!

If you are thinking of detoxing your diet for the sake of your skin wrinkles, consider these foods and drinks are packed with antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties:

• Olive oil
• Green tea
• Leafy greens
• Broccoli
• Carrots
• Bell peppers
• Pumpkin
• Avocados
• Flax seeds
• Salmon
• Pomegranates

7. Sleep on your back

Your sleeping position can actually affect the formation of skin – especially face – wrinkles.

Sleeping on your side or stomach may impose mechanical compression forces, which can distort the skin of your face and, ultimately, accelerate the formation of wrinkles and crevices – according to studies.

If comfortable for you, try getting used to sleeping on your back, rather than on your stomach or side.

Your bedding can also have an effect on your skin wrinkles. Creating less friction, silk pillowcases may be a gentler choice for treating your facial skin than cotton. Silk is simply softer than cotton and helps prevent skin abrasion while sleeping.

8. Lower your sugar intake

Medically, it is a solid fact that sugar consumption negatively affects your health.

In short, sugar begins a process in your body that is called glycation. The advanced glycation end products otherwise known as AGEs are harmful for your skin.

The harm is that AGEs destroy the collagen in your skin and can speed up aging.

AGEs are not only linked to sweets and sugar intake but also to fried and grilled foods, whereas boiled and baked foods are considered healthier choices for preventing or delaying the formation of skin wrinkles.

Lowering the consumption of sugar and greasy foods will help retain healthy and youthful skin.

9. Wash your face regularly

Washing your face is an essential habit to help maintain a wrinkle-free or less-wrinkled skin.

Almost all cosmetics contain some level of harmful chemicals that cause oxidative dermal stress.

Left over makeup from the night is, for the most part, absorbed by your skin, which translates into encouraging skin wrinkles we all try hard to avoid!

Taking 3 to 5 minutes of time every night to wash your face is essential and pays off.

Our recommendation at SkinCarely:

• Cleanse your face with water based wipes before going to bed.
• DO NOT scrub your face vigorously.
• Finish with splashing some cold water across your face.

10. Eat more antioxidants.

Skin Wrinkles can be caused by your daily routine without you knowing it because your skin is subject to the most oxidative stress among other organs of your body.

To fight the damage of oxidative stress to your skin cells, you should boost your antioxidants intake – whether it is in form of wrinkle creams or sunscreens enriched with antioxidants or an antioxidant-rich diet.

Adding more of foods packed with antioxidants can help fight wrinkles “from inside” and halt premature aging of your skin.

When Skin Wrinkles Usually Appear

Skin Wrinkles in Young Age

When your skin starts aging and your wrinkles appear depends largely on your genetics.

That being said, collagen production in your body drops 1% after age 20.

As a result, elastin and collagen fibers turn looser and thicker and your skin loses elasticity and becomes brittle and fragile.

The reaction of your skin is to stretch back and forth leads to wrinkles and crevices appearing on your skin, especially face.

The first signs of aging usually start to appear on your skin around the age of 25.
