These Outstanding Recipes Are Guaranteed to Make Your Skin Smooth and Radiant in No Time

As we age, the skin cells tend to divide more slowly, and the dermis (skin`s inner layer), starts to thin. Aging also causes the skin to hold on to less moisture, produce less oil, and heal slower. All of these factors contribute to wrinkling.

Apart from aging, there are other factors that contribute to wrinkling, such as facial muscle contractions, sun damage, and smoking.

Facial Muscle Contractions and Wrinkles

The frown lines and the ones jutting from the corner of the eyes are believed to result from facial muscle contractions. Frowning, squinting, and smiling make these wrinkles more visible.

Sun Damage and Wrinkles

Overexposure to sun damages the skin and leads to development of wrinkles. To prevent them, stay out of sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.  Make sure you wear a sunscreen as well, even when it is cloudy and in the winter.

Smoking and Wrinkles

Smoking reduces the production of collagen, the vital part of skin`s structure. Lack of collagen basically paves the way for wrinkles.
