SKIN WRINKLES (ANTI-AGING TIPS)
Hello beautiful😊
Wrinkles are unsatisfactory among women more than they are
among men. We always strive to look young on daily basis because we believe
young skin is attractive. From the age of 25 collagen, hyaluronic acid and elastin
which helps to keep your skin firm and smooth start to reduce.
We may define wrinkles as creases in the skin to capture
everyone`s attention.
Different types of wrinkles
Static – these are motionless even when your face is at rest
Dynamic – these are facial lines or creases which appear
when we animate our face. These are the lines or wrinkles you had at a tender
age.
Glycation – This is a process whereby sugar in your
bloodstream attaches to proteins thereby forming harmful new molecules known as
advanced glycation end products. Therefore, surplus sugar in the bloodstream
fosters a process known as glycation. too much sugar affects the skin.
Facial expressions – repetitive facial movements such as
smiling, raising your eyebrows and frowning causes facial wrinkles because a
groove forms under the skin surface whenever we make these facial expressions.
These grooves become permanent as our skin age and loses its elasticity
Habitual sleeping position – these appear because of a
repeatedly sleeping position. It happens when your face is compressed against a
pillow.
Aging
Smoking – it is well known that nicotine in cigarettes is a
very dangerous substance to your health. It reduces the width of the blood
vessels in the outermost layers of your skin which transport blood to your
skin. This means that your outer skin won’t receive enough oxygenated blood and
important nutrients such as vitamin A.
Sun damage – Not only does ultra-violate rays from the sun
cause skin cancer and sunburns, it also results in premature ageing.
Poor hydration
Areas where wrinkles are visible
On the forehead - These are horizontal lines between the eye brows. These are a result of facial expressions.
Outer corner of the eyes (laughter lines) - These are easily noticed because the skin on the outer corner of the eyes is very thin hence it is prone to lining.
From the nose to the mouth (nasolabial folds) - These are fine lines between your nose and your upper lip.
All over the face -These appear as we age because of a reduction in elasticity
Solutions to wrinkles
Regular use of sunscreen (with SPF 15) to protect your skin
against sun damage.
Also, some creams make your skin more sensitive to the sun
hence its always important to trust a sunscreen as your shield for the day.
Exfoliate regularly to remove a build-up of dead skin cells
which increase the appearance of fine lines on your skin
Botox paralyses muscle movement thereby preventing the
formation of skin ageing or wrinkles where it is injectedControl blood sugar levels by reducing the number of sugary items, you consume.
Always drink enough water to keep your skin well hydrated, soft and youthful.
