3 Common Wrinkle Triggers

1. Smoking

If you need another reason to quit smoking, think of the 4,000 chemicals in tobacco smoke that are harmful to your skin. Smoking’s negative effects on collagen and elastin fibers reduce the skin’s flexibility. Nicotine also narrows blood vessels, causing a reduction in blood flow that will cause premature wrinkles.

2. Extensive Sun Exposure

Sunbathers have a high chance of developing excessive wrinkles. Sunlight contains ultraviolet radiation that will dry out your skin and fast forward your natural aging process. Tanning booths can also create too much UV exposure, breaking down elastin fibers located deep within your skin.

Use sunscreen to protect yourself from UV rays and limit your exposure to the sun, especially during the afternoon when the sun is at its peak.

3. Repeated Facial Expressions

Constantly smiling and laughing is wonderful, but you may develop permanent creases as a result. The same can happen from frowning. Repeated facial movements form grooves underneath your skin each time these muscles are used. While younger skin will recuperate, mature skin lacks the flexibility to recover, leading to forehead lines and crow’s feet.

Incorporate vitamin-rich fruits and veggies into your diet to reduce surface lines and deep furrows. Also, consider dermal fillers and other treatments from local skincare professionals for age-reversing results.
