Wrinkles

Wrinkles are the creases or grooves in your skin that start as fine lines, before deepening over time as a natural process of aging. As we age, our skin loses its thickness and elasticity, resulting in skin atrophy, laxity and wrinkling. These are often aggravated by other external factors and frequently appear on sun-exposed areas.

Causes of Wrinkles

Pollution

Exposed to pollution can trigger the release of skin damaging free radicals. Additionally, pollution worsens the effects of accelerated oxidative stress by sun exposure.

Sun Exposure

Exposure to the sun’s rays is one of the main factors for skin ageing via oxidative stress.

Smoking

The chemicals and nicotine inside cigarettes are responsible for a rise in the amount of free radicals in the skin. They intensify the effects of sun exposure, leading to oxidative stress.

Nutrition

Anti-oxidants are molecules with the ability to neutralise the free radicals that damage skin and speed up skin ageing. A diet lacking in antioxidants will do nothing to help slow down general skin ageing.

Types of Wrinkles
