Wrinkles are creases or folds formed in the skin usually as a result of different conditions such as aging, habitual sleeping positions, glycation, loss of body mass or due to extended immersion in water.
Why You Got Wrinkles
You sometimes have wrinkles skin and must be wondering how you got them. Wrinkles can be prevented by avoiding prolonged immersion in water. This is known as water aging or pruney fingers. This kind of skin wrinkle is only temporary and usually happens on the skin of the palms of the hand or the feet.
This condition is nothing to be alarmed of since it is just a response to continuous immersion of skin in water for at least 30 minutes. This condition occurs after absorbed water alters the balance of electrolytes in the skin as it enters the hands and soles through the sweat ducts.
Wrinkles in the skin may also be promoted by habitual facial expressions, poor hydration, and sun damage. They can also occur after sleeping when your face is pressed for many hours against the pillow or bed surface but this kind of wrinkles assume a different form than wrinkles caused by facial expression.
Getting too much of the sun can damage your skin which leads to formation of wrinkles. It is important not to stay outdoors between 10 in the morning and 2 in the afternoon to prevent from damaging your skin. It may be wise to apply sunscreen with at least SPF 30 everyday if you cannot avoid getting under the sun during late morning and early afternoon. A wide hat, a long sleeved clothing and long pants can also shield your skin from the damaging sun rays.
Smoking can also cause wrinkles since tobacco components may reduce or adversely affect skin production of collagen.
