Wrinkle And Aging Skin

By: Juliet Cohen Home | Health-and-Fitness | Beauty


Wrinkle is a ridge or crumple of a surface. It usually refers to folds on fabric or clothes, or on the skin of an organism. In skin or other crease material a wrinkle or fold may be permanent if the material is folded the same way each time. Wrinkling in skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors. Rapid weight loss can also cause wrinkles by reducing the volume of fat cells that cushion the face. People who live in areas where the earth's protective ozone layer is thinning, may be more likely to have sun-damaged skin. Heavy smokers are almost five times as likely to have wrinkled facial skin than non-smokers. In fact, heavy smokers in their 40s often have facial wrinkles more like those of nonsmokers in their 60s.

The wrinkles that occur in skin after protracted exposure to water are sometimes referred to as prune fingers or water aging. This is a temporary skin condition where the skin on the palms of the hand or feet becomes wrinkly. It is caused when the keratin-laden epithelial skin is deeply involved with in water. The skin expands and the resultant larger surface area forces it to wrinkle. One of the easiest ways to fight wrinkles involves properly moisturizing the skin. An important secret to preventing wrinkles and solving skin aging problems lies in keeping the deeper layers of skin well-hydrated and replenished. Effective wrinkle-prevention creams moisturize deeply and promote elasticity, allowing the skin to both stretch and then re-tighten to its former smoothness instead of sagging when it is stretched.

Wrinkle treatments vary in their effectiveness. Anti-aging creams are cosmetic products marketed with the promise of making the consumer look younger and reducing visible wrinkles on the skin. Wearing clothing that provides sun protection is extremely important and protects even better than sunscreen. Homemade anti-wrinkle cream for reducing, removing wrinkles. Apply coconut oil on the portions of skin and face where wrinkles set in and gently massage every night at bedtime. Banana is wonderful as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Mash 1/4 banana until very creamy. Spread all over face and leave for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water followed by a dash of cold. Gently pat dry. Vitamin E. Vitamin E is known to be a good vitamin for skin.
