Wrinkles - Can You Prevent Them?

If you went back to read the options after seeing all of the above, you are not alone. When chewing gum, the face is moved to different postures, causing wrinkles. Sleeping on the stomach causes the face to be on the pillow, causing wrinkles again. Sugars damage the underlying skin layers, causing wrinkles. Staring at the smartphone for hours changes your posture, causing wrinkles. Wrinkles on the face are not just a cosmetic issue, but could reflect an underlying psychological problem too.

The next time you are heading out in the sun, whether or not it is sunny for you, make sure you apply enough sunscreen lotion on the face and exposed body parts. This ensures the ultraviolet rays which actually do the damage do not reach the skin layers. Sun damage does not occur only on sunny days. Regular exposure to the sun for shortened periods also leads to sun damage.

Everybody ages and everybody develops wrinkles with age. However, the age at which wrinkles appear is completely controllable. While there could be people in their 20s with wrinkles (especially around eyes and neck) due to poor skin care, there could be people in their 50s with perfectly glowing skin. So, while age does have a role to play, there are other measures to ensure wrinkles are prevented. Wrinkles cannot be avoided but can be controlled and onset can be delayed with optimal skin care.

While wrinkling is seen as a natural process of ageing, they could set in early if the skin care is poor. Exposure to the sun is another reason for wrinkles. This can be reduced by optimal use of sun protection, including sunscreen lotion, a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and scarf. Whether or not it is sunny enough outside, make sure you dab on that sunscreen before heading out.
