Why Wrinkles Occur And How To Prevent Them

Written by OJ Fagbire

Certain habits and lifestyle patterns can lead to wrinkles. Women are more prone to wrinkles than men since their skin is thinner and has less collagen so their skin loses elasticity sooner.   Additionally the fairer skin tone of women is more susceptible to the sun's harmful UV rays.   People who live higher above sea level have more wrinkles since the sun's rays are stronger and more harmful to skin. One thing that doesn't cause wrinkles is genetics although family members may get similar wrinkle patterns due to common lifestyles and facial expressions.   Overuse of Botox can smooth the skin of wrinkles but also can leave the face with an blank plastic look if used too often.   Facial expressions are the both the number one cause and the least invasive treatment for wrinkles. Easing the tension in your eyes and raising your head can stop the development of forehead wrinkles while rolling your eyeballs can loosen the muscles that cause Crow's feet around the eyes. By avoiding the sun and practicing stress-relieving exercises, you can avoid wrinkles between the eyes.   Most importantly to avoid wrinkles, don't bend your neck or rest your chin on the palms of your hands upon a hard surface. Avoid slouching and sleeping face down in a pillow. Try to include lots of Vitamin C-containing fruits in your diet to promote healthy skin.
