 The 3 Things That Make Wrinkles and How They Affect Your Skin

Dermatologists say you don't have to spend a lot of money on quality anti-aging skin care. Choose things you can afford and comprehend. A lot of people are confused about skin care, and some creams that don't have important elements like sunscreens are charging way too much. This is not good at all. The key question is whether any cream would ever get rid of lines as good as Botox. Dermatologists say that there is no such thing as a "miracle in a jar." Cosmetics that have medical-like effects, on the other hand, do have active ingredients that can make a big difference in your skin and help you build a healthy foundation for your beauty future.

Dermatologists say that if you're worried about wrinkles, you need to take skincare seriously, use the proper creams for you, and most importantly, allow them time to work. If you don't take your time, you're squandering your time. You can only get rid of lines and wrinkles with regular treatment and a daily routine. Another common mistake is putting on too much skin care product. Don't go too far.
A small amount of cream, about the size of a pea, might be adequate for your face without blocking your pores. As your skin changes, be ready to try out new formulas.

What causes the skin to wrinkle?

There are three layers to our skin. The deepest layer is subcutaneous tissue, which holds the overall skin structure together. Fibroblasts, which are cells in the dermis, make collagen fibers, which are proteins that help keep skin supple and elastic. The epidermis, or top layer, is above this. Mast cells divide slowly here and go up toward the surface of the skin. Epidermal lipids (or fats), such as ceramide, surround them. Ceramide acts like "glue" to hold cells tightly in place, like cement in a brick wall.

The collagen bundles in the dermis hold up the skin's surface like springs in a mattress. But when collagen is destroyed, gaps form between the bundles, and the top layers of tissue fall into these gaps. This can cause lines, wrinkles, or folds to form. When you see a wrinkle, the skin underneath has already lost collagen and elastin, which is what makes it "snap back." There are many things that can harm collagen. Some things are unavoidable, like becoming older, but others can be mitigated, if not stopped.
What are the main causes, and what can you do about them?

The environment is the cause.
EFFECT: Lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, fine lines fanning out over the cheekbones, and rings and crisscrosses on the back of the neck.

The British Skin Foundation's new research found that 80% of us don't always wear sunscreen when we go abroad, and even less so when it's sunny in the UK. Sunlight hurts DNA, which makes it hard for cells to copy themselves. Any modification to that cell design might cause skin to become blotchy and lines and wrinkles to appear. At the same time, UV light increases enzymes called MMPs, which help break down old collagen. However, these enzymes can grow so aggressive that they also destroy new collagen.

It is extremely harmful to smoke in the sun. Skin is harmed by even secondhand smoke. When you breathe out smoke, it has a lot of nicotine, tar, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide in it. These chemicals break down collagen and weaken the skin's barrier. Smoking makes blood vessels narrow, which means that less oxygen gets to the skin. This shortage of oxygen makes it harder for collagen and elastin to be made. Just like the sun, smoking makes the MMPs break down collagen.

REASON: Stress and facial expressions
RESULT: Smile lines, frown lines, and crows feet

Lines on your face show your personality. Hollywood directors are now starting to say that Botox has taken away some of the actual emotion from stars' faces. Divas may win an Oscar by channeling their anger, but it doesn't improve their skin in real life. Stress releases harmful chemicals like "killer" cortisols that weaken the immune system and make skin lose moisture, making it drier and more prone to lines. When we carry our stress in our neck, shoulders, and jaw, it makes it hard for blood and oxygen to reach the skin on our faces. But the most evident symptom of stress is a furrowed brow. Frowning all the time generates micro-tears (little stress tears) in the skin. Inflammation is the next step, and it hurts collagen, which makes skin look less plump.
But stress doesn't just cause expression lines. Creases are unavoidable in areas of the skin that are always moving, including around the mouth and eyes. So what about limiting the damage? Buy some sunglasses. Wide-sided wrap-around frames protect against UV rays very well and can help you save a lot of money on Botox!

AGE: Ageing
EFFECT: Crepey skin, deeper eye creases, lines from the nose to the mouth, lines from the mouth to the chin, lip lines, and neck rings.

You may have great skin because of your genes, but don't take it for granted if you are one of the lucky ones. After all, genetics may only be responsible for 20% of all skin aging. This gets worse when we reach our mid-thirties, when the amount of protein in our skin starts to drop by one percent every year. Later, following menopause, the drop in estrogen more than doubles the rate at which protein levels drop. In the first five years, we lose an incredible 30% of collagen proteins, which makes our skin two percent thinner.

Skin loses plumpness as well as collagen since cell division slows down as we get older. This is because stem cells can't divide and copy themselves correctly anymore, so they go to sleep. Poly-peptides, a new high-tech ingredient in skin treatments, operate like growth factors in skin to wake up dormant stem cells and get fibroblasts to generate more collagen. Even while the test tube findings look good, there is still a lot of debate about using growth factor peptides in creams that fight aging.

Retinoid, which comes from vitamin A, is still the only component that has been shown in clinical studies to increase both collagen and hyaluronic acid, which keeps skin moist. Earlier this year, studies at the University of Michigan Medical School verified this. Some peptides can help get rid of fine wrinkles on the skin in just a few weeks. But you need retinoids to help cells grow over time and really fight aging. You need to use them all day, every day for up to two months before you notice improvements, much like with vitamin C. But it's worth the wait.
