What Causes And How To Get Rid of Wrinkles
August 29, 2008
Ninety percent of skin aging is caused by excessive sun exposure and not from chronological aging. You only have to look at a person’s sun-exposed skin and skin that has been shielded and protected from the sun. For example, compare skin on the bum with that on the neck. You will notice that skin on the neck has all five signs of sun-damaged skin, from fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, sagging skin, brown spots to spider veins. While, the bum is smooth and clear, without any of these signs.
Mature Skin Does Not Have To Look Old
Chronologically, mature skin looks almost identical to normal, non-aged skin. The only difference being the loss of adipose that comes with age. As a natural consequence of the ageing factor, as we age we tend to lose adipose or some of the fatty layer beneath our skin, which causes the skin to sag, otherwise the skin itself looks smooth and blemishless. This means wrinkled and lined skin is really caused almost exclusively by the sun.
There are many products on the market that can help minimise the results of sun damaged skin. There are many natural plant-based creams and lotions, developed through green chemistry, an eco-conscious chemical process that helps to smooth out wrinkles and firm up the skin. Using black tea ferment helps maintain skin elasticity inhibiting sagging, while a complex in black sugar helps retain moisture in the skin.
Researchers have stumbled upon the secret to maintaining a youthful appearance by discovering a longevity protein called Sirtuin. This anti-ageing systems contains a soybean extract proven to stimulate production of this key protein, which works to slow down the aging process and division of cells.
Fat Attack
Although, we spend most of our lives fighting fat, it has now become our newest ally. Fatty acid complexes found in some of the facial creams help repair the dermis and epidermis by replacing lost lipids i.e. fats. This helps to decrease the depth of wrinkles giving you a supple, younger-looking face.
Wrinkle Shrinking
The latest science craze i.e. nanotechnology is a bargain wrinkle buster whose tiny particles penetrate deeper into the skin and help reduce the appearance of lines more effectively.
To avoid wrinkles and fine lines, it is important to limit skin exposure to the sun and to take care of our skin by adopting a thorough cleansing routine, complete with facials, face packs, exfoliators and creams specially designed to combat the signs of ageing and sun damage i.e. wrinkles, fine lines and age spots.
