Why we get wrinkles
Wrinkles and the biology of the skin
Wrinkles are more or less an inevitable fact of life. Based on genetics, the environment and level of skin care, everyone gets wrinkles at some point in their lives.
The skin is composed of three layers: the outermost layer, called the epidermis (this is the part that wrinkles), the dermis, and the subcutaneous or lowest layer of the skin.
During youth, the epidermis stretches and holds large amounts of moisture. This is due to the levels of fibers called elastin and a protein, collagen, contained in the dermis. In addition, a layer of fat in the subcutaneous level of the skin gives the face a plump look.
Over time, the dermis loses collagen and elastin. Thus, the skin becomes less elastic and stretchy, as well as less thick. The dermis begins to have difficulty moving adequate amounts of moisture up to the epidermis. The epidermis starts to sag, and wrinkles form. People who moisturize regularly or whose skin produces larger quantities of sebum will not suffer from wrinkles until a later age.
The Mechanical line type of wrinkles are formed when the face goes through repetitive types of motions. Squinting can cause crow’s feet. Smiling or frowning can cause laugh lines or a frown line in the forehead.
