The Enviroment Cause Wrinkle

A few things you do in your every day life could be causing excessive wrinkles to appear. E.g., if you’re under continual stress, expect more wrinkles. You had better to do whatever it takes to reduce stress – even change jobs if needed. It’s not worth losing your wellness or nice appearance! A different important factor is your intake of liquids, particularly water, throughout the day. Drink water daily to help hydrate your body and skin. Dried-out skin will wrinkle more easily.

CAUSE: The enviroment
EFFECT:Brow and eye creases, fine lines fanning over cheekbones, rings and criss-crosses at the back of the neck

New research by The British Skin Fundation found that 80 per cent of us don’t always use a sunscreen abroad, let alone on a sunny day in UK. Sun damages DNA so cells can’t replicate properly. If that cell blueprint is changed in any way, it can lead to blotchy skin, lines and wrinkles. At the same time, UV boosts enzymes known as MMPs, which help to tidy up old collagen, but can become so agreessive that they destroy fresh collagen, too.

Smoking in the sun is especially bad news. Even second-hand smoke is harmful to skin. Exhaled smoke contains significant levels of nicotine, tar, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, which disrupt and weaken the skin’s barrier, leading to collagen breakdown. Smoking causes blood vessels to constrict, which limits the amount of oxygen reaching the skin. This lack of oxygen reduces collagen and elastin production. Smoking stimulates the MMPs to degrade collagen – just like the sun does.

As you can see, wrinkles don’t have to control your life (or your face). You can reduce wrinkles significantly by combining a healthy lifestyle with vitamin-rich skin creams and wrinkle erasers. Start turning back the clock today!
