The Major Sign Of Ageing: Skin Wrinkles

Nobody wants to get old

Nobody wants to get old. Aging is a phase and a truth we have to face eventually. But who would not want to delay it as mush as possible? People, most especially women, have their own remedies to either prevent or hide the signs of aging such as skin wrinkles. Facial wash, creams, pills and other methods of defying age signs are sought out. The market for age prevention will never go out of business!

Skin wrinkles is a common thing that appears at a certain age. In some cases, it appears earlier on. And this can be affected by various factors but the major ones are sun exposure and smoking. The sun has harmful rays, the ultraviolet radiation in particular, that prematurely ages the skin and causes face wrinkles. Constant exposure to sunlight without the application of skin protection can majorly cause wrinkles. This is why dermatologists would advise the use of sunblock and other creams that can help protect the skin form the harmful rays emanating from the sun. The use of protection can not only prevent premature wrinkling but can also protect the skin from other disorders. Another factor that affects and can contribute to early development of face wrinkles is pollution and smoking. The free radicals emitted along with smoke causes damage to the cell membrane and affect other genetic material that can bring about major skin disorders, skin wrinkles being the most evident effect. Aside from the sun, pollution and smoking, another cause of skin wrinkles is rapid weight loss. A major change in body size and shape can cause the skin to sag. When a person loses weight radically and rapidly, the amount of fat cells that cushions the face and other parts of the body diminishes which then causes face wrinkles or complete sagging of the skin. In most cases though, wrinkles is something that comes with age. As a person counts more years, the process of skin cell division works at a much slower pace. Also the dermis of the skin or its inner layer starts to thin. The skin then loses it elasticity as the production of collagen is reduced. Moisture of the skin is diminished causing the skin to dry and appear scaly. A simple facial expression can form distinguishing fine lines on the face causing the eyelids to droop and brings about the appearance of eye wrinkles as well. Habitual smiling and frowning can cause eye wrinkles as the skin loses its elastic feature losing the ability to bring it back to its well stretched form.

Preventing and hiding the signs of aging is not just a cause of vanity. For women, in general, age is a serious factor and so are the signs that come with it. There is a reason why it is a sin to ask a woman her age. Women take pride in their beauty and grace. But wrinkles do not cause them to lose it. However, as the face is something that is noticed first, it should be protected as much as possible. And this is the reason for defying age, to face the world with pride.
