Take These Steps To Get Rid Of Wrinkles

By definition, wrinkles are creases, folds, and ridges that form in the skin. Wrinkles can form naturally when you scrunch your face when making various facial expressions. And in terms of aging, they form when your skin loses elasticity and starts to thin. Let’s get into how wrinkles form when the skin ages.

The skin ages through a number of cumulative processes that occur naturally as the body grows older. There are 1) internal aging processes and 2) external aging processes. The internal aging process happens naturally regardless of what you do. After you turn twenty, collagen production in the dermis decreases year-on-year by 1%. As collagen and elastin production slows down, collagen and elastin fibers start to become thicker, clumpier, and looser. This leads to sagging skin as it becomes inelastic and brittle. The thinning of skin occurs as the fat cells in the subcutaneous layer shrink. The combination of thinning skin with a loss of elasticity results in wrinkles. Whenever you make facial expressions (smiling, laughing, frowning, crying, squinting, and so on), fine lines begin to develop in your skin. But we have an abundance of collagen and fats, this allows the skin to spring back to normal, which is why wrinkles and lines do not show on young people. However, as you grow older and the skin loses this property of elasticity, that is how wrinkles begin to become more pronounced. The lines in your skin are unable to bounce back the way they did when you were young, and that is how permanent grooves in the skin form.
