What Causes Wrinkles?
Aging—right? Yes, fine lines and wrinkles do appear as we age, but that’s not the only reason a person gets wrinkles. Other factors also play a part, such as:- Exposure to UV light: Sun exposure breaks down the collagen, which is critical to elasticity.
- Bad habits: Drinking and smoking on a regular basis can do damage to the skin because smoking accelerates the aging process, and alcohol dehydrates you.
- Losing sleep: Not catching those Z’s can cause your body to produce too much cortisol, which can lead to collagen breaking down.
- Repetitive facial movements: Constant movement of your facial muscles can wear them down, causing grooves to appear underneath the skin.
