Why Fine Lines And Wrinkles?

Reduce Wrinkles And Fine Lines

No one is free from fine lines and wrinkles. Sooner or later they catch up with us but is there anything we can do to reduce wrinkles and fine lines? Wrinkles occur when the skin losses elasticity and collagen (a protein that holds the body together) and elastin (a protein that gives elasticity) begin to break down in the skin.

Fine lines and wrinkles are folds that appear in our skin, and are one of the first signs of aging skin .

There Are Three Types Of Face Wrinkles

Static wrinkles

We can see these wrinkles even when the muscle is at rest. These wrinkles are due to the lack of elasticity in the skin caused from:

Genetics
Smoking
Dynamic wrinkles
Sun exposure

Dynamic wrinkles or expression lines

These type of wrinkles are linked to the underlaying muscles we use for facial expressions, and appear temporarily when a muscle contracts. Everytime we make a facial movement like:

Laughing
Frowning
Squinting

Expression lines begin to appear in our faces because the repeated contractions of the facial muscles. These facial movements are accumulative, and start to show at around thirty.

The expression lines get deeper as we age, and it will get worse with sun damage and loss of collagen and elastine.

Deep wrinkles

Are often due to the effects of gravity. Changes related to gravity become more pronounced as we get older. The skin's elasticity declines and the face tissues start to sag - sagging skin - causing:

The tip of the nose to drop.
The eyelids to fall.
Jowls to form.
The thinning of the upper lip.
Loss of neckline.
Hollow look to the eyes.

Other factor that influence the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are:

Sleeping wrinkles

These wrinkles tend to appear on the face, when we sleep in the same position most of the time, and are more pronounced as we get older.

Tips To Reduce Wrinkles And Fine Lines

The best way to avoid sleeping wrinkles is to sleep on your back and in a silk pillowcase, see anti aging pillow .
Because I'm very aware of sleeping wrinkles, I place surgical tape in the deeper wrinkles of my face, like between the eyebrows, and the lines from the nose to the mouth every night.

I have been doing it for years now, and I really notice the difference the next morning.
The best way to prevent wrinkles and fine lines and expression lines, although difficult, is by trying to be aware of your facial expressions.
The use of sunscreen as well as a good anti aging anti wrinkle cream for your skin type is a must. Not all facial exercises will help, some, could even make it worse. Read the article about facial exercises to find out why.
