Wrinkles are lines, creases, or folds that appear in the skin, typically caused by aging, repeated facial expressions, sun damage, and lifestyle factors like smoking or poor skincare habits.

You may first notice fine lines in your late 20s or early 30s, especially around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. These shallow lines may deepen into wrinkles over time as your skin loses collagen, elasticity, and hydration.

Common causes of wrinkles:

• Aging: Slower cell turnover and less collagen production
• UV Exposure: Sunlight breaks down elastin and collagen
• Smoking: Reduces blood flow and speeds up aging
• Repeated facial expressions: Like frowning, smiling, squinting
• Genetics: Skin aging is influenced by your DNA
• Environmental pollution and stress

Causes

Slow skin cell production, thinning skin layers and a lack of collagen proteins causes wrinkles to form on your skin.

Collagen is a protein within your body that gives your skin structure. It provides stretchiness or elasticity so you can move easily. Your skin is similar to a rubber band. If that rubber band stretches or moves too much, the rubber band becomes loose and loses its ability to snap back to its normal size and shape. When your body’s cells age, their ability to produce proteins slows down. This makes it more difficult for your rubber band to snap back to its original shape, which causes wrinkles.

Wrinkles are caused by several factors — some you can control, others you can't:

• Age: With aging, the skin naturally becomes less elastic and drier, with less fat and collagen in the deeper layers. This results in the lines and creases typical of wrinkling. It also causes loose, saggy skin.

• Ultraviolet (UV) radiation: Ultraviolet radiation from sunlight and other sources speeds the skin's aging process, especially in people who tend to sunburn easily. It breaks down the elastin fibers and collagen in skin. Without these supportive connective tissues, the skin loses strength and flexibility.

• Smoking and pollution: Smoking and air pollutants speed the aging process.

• Repeated facial expressions: Facial movements and expressions lead to fine lines and wrinkles. For example, every time you squint, smile and frown, tiny grooves form beneath the surface of the skin. As skin ages, it loses its flexibility and no longer springs back. These grooves then become facial features.

• Family history: The genes you inherit play a big part in the look and feel of your skin.

Here are some tips for slowing the effects of sun exposure and other causes of wrinkles:

• Protect your skin from UV radiation: Avoid indoor tanning and limit the time you spend in the sun, especially midday. When you're in the sun, wear sun-protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats, long-sleeved shirts and sunglasses. Also, use sunscreen every day year-round. Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days. Apply sunscreen generously. Reapply every two hours, or more often if you're swimming or sweating.

• Don't smoke: Even if you've smoked for years or smoke heavily, you can still improve your skin and prevent wrinkles by quitting smoking.

• Eat healthy: There is some evidence that certain vitamins in your diet help protect the skin. More study is needed on the role of nutrition in preventing wrinkles, but it's good to eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
