The biggest reason behind wrinkles on your skin is aging. It happens because of loss collagen responsible for skin elasticity, and loss of facial fat which makes the skin dangled.

As people age, the collagen and elastin get weaker, so the wrinkles begin to form. However, there are various factors that cause wrinkles:

Not Enough Sleep

When you sleep, your body rests, heals, regenerates, and gets rid of the body toxins. Lack of sleep makes your skin get older earlier than it should. Also, it gives you a tiresome look with dark eye circles and bags under your eyes.

Stress and Excessive Worry

When humans undergo a stressful period, they do not consume good foods, do not exercise enough, and there is a sleep problem. These issues affect one’s look. When you are stressed, your body releases cortisol (stress hormone) which lowers the production of collagen.

Sunbathing

Thanks to the UV lights that break your skin tissues, collagen and elastin, your skin gets older; it loses its elasticity. Of course, this causes wrinkles even in younger age. You cannot prevent aging, but you can definitely control when and how much time you spend under the sun.

Smoking

Cigars contain more than 4,000 chemicals that destroy the collagen and elastin. Also, the nicotine constricts the blood vessels which prevents your skin of getting enough oxygen and nutrients.

When you smoke, you purse your lips which cause the formation of wrinkles around your mouth. This is one more reason to quit smoking.

Air pollution is not bad only for your lungs, but for your skin also. The pollutants do not let your skin to be moist and make it dry. Your pores get clogs because of the dust, so the bacteria cause blemishes. Also, low temperatures dry out the skin and lead to wrinkles and losing the smoothness.
