What Are Wrinkles & What Causes Wrinkles?
What Causes Wrinkles
The major cause of wrinkles is the aging process which effects us all, sadly. However there are also a number of contributing factors that can bring on wrinkles or speed up the process such as smoking, sun damage, skin type, heredity patterns, dry skin, stress and generally not looking after your skin or body.
Skin is made up of three layers; the outermost layer, the epidermis; the middle layer, the dermis and the innermost layer, the subcutaneous. The dermis has elastic qualities that help keep the skin nice and firm, this is due to elastin fibres. The dermis also produces collagen protein which along with the epidermis’ ability to hold in water, keep the skin moist and be able to stretch and shape, all serve to prevent the skin from creasing or forming wrinkles.
