As we age we look in the mirror and see new wrinkles in our skin for time to time. We think oh no a new wrinkle and wonder what to do about them. To have the proper knowledge to prevent or at least help control them we need to know what causes them first. So I will give you a little bit of background on what causes them before we examine what treatment to use for them.
When we age the epidermal layer of skin becomes thinner. Also the epidermal cells are less cohesive causing the skin to lose moisture. The production of these cells slow as we age making it harder for the skin to heal itself. But the epidermis layer of skin aging is only one cause of wrinkles. Next I will talk about the dermal layer.
Thinning also occurs in the dermal layer. It’s decreased collagen due to being unable to create it as much and the elasticity of the skin wears out. These changes in the skin layers cause lines and other problems. The glands that are sebaceous also decrease in producing sebum and we wind up with less glands that are called sweat glands which leads to dryness. There are many creams on the market that help combat wrinkles. There are correcting creams, tightening creams and even creams for instant face lifts. There are also heavy duty moisturizing creams that help improve the dryness of the skin. Try one of the creams before trying an expensive medical procedure to see if it works.
There are plenty of over the counter solutions for wrinkles today. You can buy a cream to help erase them, or one to make the skin more firm, and there is actually creams that say they are for a facelift. Moisturizers are quite effective these days too with all the maximum strength ones out there. Consider applying one of the creams in place of more drastic solutions as performed by medical professionals.
Please for the sake of your health and skin do not smoke. The nicotine in cigarettes causes the blood vessels to constrict making it harder for the skin to get oxygen. Smoking affects the skin in negative ways too like rising the carbon monoxide levels. That can help accelerate the creation of free radicals that cause aging. You also need to be sure to use sunscreen when out in the sun. If you are playing or working in the sun you need an SPF of 30 and reapply often. You need to reapply about every 30 minutes. These days you can actually buy makeup with good SPF in it. There are also moisturizers that have SPF protection too. It is easy these days to wear SPF protection all day long.
Smoking should be avoided for the sake of your health and skin. The blood vessels constrict during smoking disabling the skin from getting correct oxygen. Carbon monoxide can increase due to smoking which makes the skin react badly. This can increase the amount of free radicals, which can cause the skin to age faster.
