Understand What Wrinkle Is All About

Wrinkle is the sign of aging process. Wrinkle is the excess skin covering the surface of the normal area. This could be due to an over extended skin surface that subsequently shrink and this has led to the wrinkle.

Another kind of wrinkle is due to prolong exposure to water. Pruney fingers or water aging is a temporary skin wrinkle condition where the palms or fingers absorb water to the extend where the skin expands.

Our skin is made up of collagen cells. They are very strong cells that outlast up to 30 years. From the moment we are born, these newly formed cells bond together well. That is why you can hardly see any form of wrinkle on babies or children. It goes on this way until we reach our 30's.

When does wrinkle starts?

Usually wrinkle starts to form in our early 30's and this is when the collagen cells start to fall apart. It is the fragmented collagen cells that causes wrinkles in adulthood.

The most tender skin on our body is located on our face. We may find that the first visual wrinkle appearance will be most likely on our face. They are located at

• worry lines

• nasolabial folds: the lines that run from each side of the nose to the corner of the mouth.

• smile lines

• periorbital lines

• glabellar lines

• perioral lines

• smile lines

Due to the importance of appearance, we place most of our attention to wrinkles on the face rather than the rest of the skin. Normally a person's age is determined by the look of his/her face rather than the rest of the body feature. Therefore, face appearance, color and texture remain the focal point to most.
