Wrinkles - What You Should Do About Them

Who does not want skin without wrinkles as they get older? I know that I want as smooth of skin as possible. To get smoother skin you need to know what makes it wrinkle in the first place. This article will discuss reasons that this aging problem occurs. Also we will look at some prevention and treatments also.

The top layer of skin ages and decreases in thickness. With this thinning of the top layer (called the epidermal layer) the skins cells in the layer are not as adhesive which helps the skin retain less moisture. These cells do not reproduce as easily when we get older which causes the skin not to heal as easily. Wrinkles result as the epidermal layer ages but this is not the only reason. The dermal layer of the skin also needs to be discussed.

The dermal layer decreases in thickness also. It has less collagen because of less being produced and the skin becomes less elastic. Lines and other conditions happen when this occurs in the dermal layer. The skin also dries because of less sebum being made in the sebaceous glands. We also have fewer sweat glands as we age which can cause dryness too.

Products are on the market in cream form to treat wrinkles. I know there are creams that correct the problem, there are also creams that are for increasing the tightness of the skin. Facelift creams are available for an instant effect too. Creams for maximum moisturizing for the dryness are readily available too these days. I would use one of these creams to combat this problem before considering a medical alternative for this.

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.

Another preventative to take when it comes the aging of the skin is not to smoke. Smoking decrease the skin ability to oxygenate itself. Carbon monoxide levels climb also because of the nicotine. When those levels rise the free radicals come out in higher numbers which can help the skin age and wrinkle.
