What Causes Wrinkles
By Linda Robison of Wrinkle Free Skin Tips
What Causes Wrinkles and How Do They Form? What Causes Wrinkles The simplest explanation of why our skin wrinkle as we age is due to three things: - loss of elasticity
- thinning skin
- lack of moisture Diet, life style, general health, and genetics play another part in the acceleration of wrinkles. We all know that a good diet, loaded with antioxidants, fruits, vegetables, and lots of water is good for the skin. But did you know other lifestyle factors -- such as taking anti-depressants long term -- can cause some people to wrinkle and age faster than others?
Researchers haven’t been able to explain why this is happens. Perhaps all the artificial preservatives, colorings, over the counter and prescription medication that we these days not only ages the liver but our skin too? Let’s face it, we do live in a toxic environment today and we seem to have a “pill” for everything that ails us from heartburn to heartache.
How Do Wrinkles Form When skin is young, thick, and full of elasticity it can resist muscle tension and does not develop a grove or crease when a facial muscle is contracted – such as a frown, squint, or a smile. However as we age and our skin becomes thinner, drier, less resilient, it starts to adhere itself to the underlying muscle tissue. So now when we frown the skin gets pulled along with the muscle creating a valley, a line, or a deep wrinkle over time.
So What Can You Do To Slow Wrinkle Formation? One solution to slow or reduce wrinkles is to strengthen the underlying muscles of the face. By exercising the facial muscles you help to firm and enlarge the muscle creating lift and a fuller firmer face. In addition, by doing facial exercises correctly, you help to eliminate that papery, crapey, thin skin – especially the kind you get around the neck and eye areas.
For those deep hard stubborn wrinkles that have been there for years, there are certain exercise techniques to help rub the wrinkle away. This is accomplished by rubbing the wrinkle deeply to “unglue” or release it from the skin.
By holding the skin taunt - so the skin surface is firm -and contracting the underlying muscle you can massage/rub the actual wrinkle or line.
This technique will help to release the adhering skin from the muscle allowing it to smooth out over time. It will take a few months for the skin to “detack” itself from the muscle and start to smooth out, but it’s safer and cheaper than plastic surgery, Botox, and Restylane injections. And, it’s permanent!
Finally, as an extra bonus facial exercises can help reduce and eliminate dark circles and create full lips too. Unlike plastic surgery, you still look like yourself, just younger and more awake.
