Wrinkles - What You Should Do About Them

The older we get it seems like the older our skin looks. More wrinkles appear all the time. To practice prevention of this aging problem, we have to learn how to keep this from happening. So let's study why this condition can happen when we age. I will also talk about some treatments for this condition.

The epidermis or top layer of skin becomes less dense with age. This occurs when the epidermal cells lose their ability to bond. This also causes the skin to retain less moisture. Production of these cells also slows down making it harder for the skin to repair itself. One of the many things that happen because of this is wrinkles. The epidermal is not the only layer that affects this though the dermal layer can also age.

There is a thinning that happens in the dermal layer that can cause some problems. The collagen production is severely hampered and the skin has less ability to stretch. This can cause the skin to fold or crinkle. The sebaceous glands become less active therefore not enough sebum is produced causing the skin to dry. Even our sweat glands get less in quantity which can make the skin dryer.

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.

You can go to a professional and get shots of botulinum toxin A this sometimes helps eliminate wrinkles at least temporarily. I shudder at the thought of needles though so I would probably not choose this for myself. You can get acid peels with glycolic acid if you that appeals to you. This can leave the face smooth after it heals from the peel. Whatever choice you make read material on it to make up your mind. The doctor and or location you choose should be researched on their credentials too.

Be sure to drink your water every day. Six to eight glasses of water. Since the skin getting drier promotes wrinkles you need to nourish your skin with natural moisture of within. I hope that I have given you some good ideas to help keep the your skin healthy. Have a happy healthy and hopefully wrinkle free life.
