Repeated facial expressions: When your mother told you that if you kept making that face, your face would “freeze like that”, she was partially right. Such repetitive actions as frowning or smiling can cause lines to develop where the muscles contract. Over time, collagen breakdown and muscle enlargement in such areas can leave lines on your face when your face is at rest without an expression.
Gender: Men generally have thicker overall skin than women. Since women have fewer perspiration and sebum (oil) glands around the mouth, they are more likely to get wrinkles in this area than men. Women also have fewer blood vessels than men which means the skin gets fewer nutrients over time.
Nutrition: Insufficient vitamins and minerals in the diet impact the skin. The skin literally needs to be nourished from the inside out.
Smoking: Studies have shown that cigarette smoking makes the skin age faster due in part to damage and constriction of the blood vessels that supply blood and nutrients to the skin.
UV Exposure: Ultraviolet light increases the skin’s aging process. The relationship between skin “age” and UV light exposure is direct which means the more time you spend in the sun (or in a sunbed) the older your skin will appear. UV rays can destroy collagen and elastin fibers in the skin, making it less flexible and prone to wrinkling.
Genetics: Genes play a large part in determining facial shape, skin type, elasticity and strength. Large family cheekbones and other such inherited structures influences how we age and if we are lucky, we do inherit such age -defying genes.
Substance Abuse: Though age, genetics, and to some degree facial expressions, cannot be changed, many wrinkles are caused by lifestyle choices such diets high in sugars, alcohol, and other drugs.
Optimal treatment for wrinkles is to take protective precautions before they even start to appear. Wrinkles are a sign that your skin has been damaged, and although many consider wrinkle prevention a vain pursuit, it is actually important for overall skin health.
Smoking causes your body to release enzymes that break down elastin and collagen and is a very preventable cause of wrinkles. If you smoke, you are going to look older than your non-smoking twin. Dr Anita can help you evaluate your lifestyle and assist you with lifestyle choices.
Facial Expressions like smiling, raising your eyebrows, or squinting your eyes will eventually cause dynamic wrinkles. Such simple things as wearing sunglasses and reading glasses as well as the modern miracle of Neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport can help people look younger and fresher than any time in history.
Sleep Your body needs to rest and repair. If you are not getting enough sleep, your body starts releasing a stress hormone called cortisol that will start to break down your collagen nd reducing natural Human growth hormone (HGH) that stimulates skin cell growth. Without adequate sleep, your skin will not stay elastic and will start to wrinkle.
Diet Consuming foods low in carbohydrates and high in anti-oxidants such as Vitamin C have been shown to combat free radicals that break down collagen and elastin.
Your skin can make you look significantly younger or significantly older than your real age depending on how you take care of it. If your skin has become damaged and wrinkles are beginning to appear, there are other basic steps along with exfoliation, sun protection, diet and healthy lifestyle choices can help reduce their appearance.
