Wrinkles are a natural part of aging; however, by exposing areas like the chest, neck, hands, and face to the sun, the risk of getting wrinkles is increased.
Sun is not the only factor that can influence the wrinkle appearance, and knowing each one of them will help us prevent them instead of fixing them later.
Here we will go through the internal and external factors that contribute to the wrinkle appearance and their solution:
- Collagen loss: As part of our aging, we will progressively lose collagen after our twenties, and as a result, we will notice some fine lines and wrinkles in our face.
How to fix it? Add retinoids and other topical products that can increase your collagen production. If you want to go a little further, add professional treatments like LED therapy and micro-needling.
- Loss of elasticity: This is one of the trickiest issues with aging; the loss of elasticity makes your skin saggy, especially around your eyes, cheeks, and jawline.
How to fix it? Topical products are not enough, so try laser treatments, micro-needling, or dermal fillers.
- Sun Damage: This is the leading cause of premature aging; sun damage can increase the loss of elastin and collagen and cause hyperpigmentation.
How to fix it? In the early stage of sun damage or during prevention, you can just use sunscreen, antioxidants, and retinoids, but if the damage is already visible and not easy to handle with topical products, you will need a laser to improve your skin.
- Loss of subcutaneous fat: After your forties, you will notice this is quite evident, you will start seeing how your skin is saggy and your lines are deeper.
How to fix it? Dermal fillers can help you restore the lost volume and lifting, or mini-lifting can improve your skin sagginess.
- Side or Front sleeping: Sleeping on these positions causes creases that eventually become permanent wrinkles. Identifying that this is one of your wrinkles’ causes is essential; once you start noticing these lines on your face, it is hard to improve them.
How to fix it? Sleep on your back, alternate your sleeping position or trying antiaging pillows.
