Why am I getting Wrinkles?
For my first post I thought I would tackle the question I get asked most frequently and that is:
“Why am I getting wrinkles and how do I slow down this aging process.”
To understand why we have wrinkles we first need to understand that there are a few different things happening to our skin as we age chronologically. The first is the natural, or intrinsic aging process that is happening in our skin. After the age of 20, our body produces about 1 percent less collagen per year. We also loose elastin. Both collagen and elastin are the essential proteins for the strength and elasticity of our skin. Less collagen and elastin over time means more fine lines and wrinkles, Next we produce less sebum, or natural oil, as we age. This makes our skin appear more dry and dull and enhances the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as well. And lastly we loose subcutaneous fat which contributes to our skin looking more “saggy” over time.
