Everyone is going to encounter wrinkles in time. And most of us will try to get rid of them. But sadly, many of us will be unsuccessful.
I suspect that there is a lot of inaccurate advice when it comes to wrinkle treatment.
Some of us still believe that wrinkles are predominantly a result of aging. And that an anti aging cream and moisturizer will get rid of them.
But this may not be as correct as we think they are.
That is because the main cause of fine lines and wrinkles is over exposure to sunlight. And those UV rays do 2 things to our faces.
At first, the rays of the sun make our facial skin thinner. That is because they are able to get into the dermis. And the dermis is the layer of living skin cells that promotes skin repair and rejuvenation.
Then free radical damage occurs and the living skin cells begin to die. And so this layer shrinks and thins.
The more the skin is made flimsy the more those fine lines will develop. Especially on the brow, temple, eye and mouth areas of our faces.
Now can you guess how those small, threadlike lines become deep wrinkles?
Well, the answer lies in the loss of fat cells in our faces and also the contracting of the facial muscles. Let me explain.
The rays of the sun do not only cause free radical damage in facial skin cells but also in the fat cells. And when these fat cells are destroyed, our skin sags and droops. This allows those threadlike lines to expand into deeper wrinkles.
Furthermore, our facial muscles also play an important role in the formation of wrinkles. You see, as we age all our muscles shrink. But the facial muscles are quite different to the every other muscle in our bodies.
The facial muscles are the only muscles in the body that is tied immediately to the skin. So the skin is directly pulled and manipulated as a result of the muscles shrinking. And the more they shrink, the more the skin is forced to fold into noticeable wrinkles.
By now you should know what the major causes of wrinkles are. They are the destruction of the skin cell, the lessening of the fat cells and muscle contractions.
Thus an anti wrinkle cream would not be enough to correct all these wrinkle causing factors. Surely a lot more is needed. - 15252
