Anti Wrinkle Home Remedies

It is true that wrinkles are an inevitable part of the natural process of aging. But, they can be delayed with appropriate skin care. However, along with proper skin care, it is also important to know the factors that can cause or speed up the whole process of skin aging. Knowledge about these factors can help you to take the appropriate measures for preventing the early appearance of wrinkles.

What Causes the Development of Wrinkles?

The most common cause of wrinkles is aging. As we age, the skin becomes thinner and it loses its elasticity, mainly due to the loss of underlying fats and the connective tissues. The natural production of 'sebum or oil' also gets reduced due to aging, for which the skin becomes drier and tends to develop fine lines and wrinkles. The production of the fibrous scleroproteins, collagen and elastin reduces with growing age. These two scleroproteins are responsible for maintaining skin elasticity. Over exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet radiation can break down these two scleroproteins to accelerate the development of wrinkles on face and other parts of the body. Apart from sunlight, factors like smoking and exposure to free radicals can also speed up the development of wrinkles and fine lines. Even facial expressions like, squinting and smiling can over a period of time leave behind fine lines and wrinkles on the skin.
