Wrinkles
What are wrinkles?
Wrinkles is the term used to describe fine lines that appear on the face as a sign of natural ageing. They typically appear as folds, creases and ridges and develop further and deepen over time. Many wrinkles and lines on the face begin to occur as a result of the face contracting and being expressive, however over time they can become static and will even show when the face is resting. Wrinkles can appear anywhere on the body but typically show on the face, neck and arms. Although wrinkles and lines are a natural sign of ageing many people can be unhappy with the appearance of them and look for treatments to reduce signs of ageing.
What causes wrinkles?
As we grow older the collagen within our skin naturally decreases meaning our skin loses elasticity and signs of ageing can become apparent. Fine lines and wrinkles can begin to appear from as early as 30 and there are a number of factors alongside natural ageing that contribute towards the cause of under eye wrinkles including:
- A poor skincare routine & no preventative treatments
- Exposure to the sun & harmful UV rays
- A diet that doesn't include antioxidants
- Smoking & alcohol consumption
- Genetics & the ageing process for your parents
It’s important to start early when caring for your skin to prevent signs of ageing. The above factors will actively increase signs of ageing & contribute to a decrease in collagen levels.
