What are wrinkles?

Wrinkles are the lines and creases that form on our skin. Wrinkles make us appear older than we feel and can become deep crevices. Due to sun exposure, there are wrinkles on our face, neck, chest, arms, and hands. Wrinkles can be more noticeable around our eyes, mouth, and neck.

What causes the wrinkles?

Many factors cause wrinkles. Some of these factors, like genetics, are out of our control, but some we can control. 

• Age - As we age, our natural collagen and elastin fibers weaken and produce slower. Our oil production also slows down, allowing more water to escape naturally. We lose fat in our face as we age, and that causes the skin to become loose and saggy, allowing more lines and wrinkles to show. DMK's Seba-E gives us the oil we need. You can find more information here.

• Exposure to UV light - UVA rays are the main reason for premature aging. Glass windows do not block UVA rays, so it's essential to wear sunscreen, even inside. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin, destroying collagen and elastin fibers.

• Pollutants - Pollution particles that linger in the city, especially a city as populated as Jacksonville, Fl, are small enough to penetrate our pores and cause premature wrinkles. We want to protect our skin from free radicals and pollutants with the best antioxidants on the market. That's why DMK's Direct Delivery Vitamin C is a top seller in preventing free radicals and pollution damage. According to Danne, it's great for men and women of all ages.

• Smoking - Smoking reduces collagen production and is associated with what is known as glycated skin. Glycated skin can cause deep crosshatched wrinkles around the mouth. The standard wrinkle cream will not remove glycated wrinkles around the mouth because they are caused by the collagen fiber being pulled downward. A special ingredient is needed and can be found in this spray.

• Repeated facial expressions - Constant facial movements, such as squinting or smiling, can lead to fine lines and wrinkles. A groove forms beneath the skin's surface when you use a facial muscle. As our skin ages, the ability to bounce back into place is significantly reduced, leaving permanent expression lines. We should have listened to our parents when they said our faces would get stuck like that.

How can I reduce wrinkles on my face?

The best way to reduce wrinkles on your face is to wear sunscreen, so no further damage is done. Sunscreens are formulated differently, and a professional-grade sunscreen will be best. Professional facial treatments encourage collagen production and increase hydration. Hydrated skin is plumper and shows fewer wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. A natural way to reduce wrinkles on the face is to sleep on your back and not smoke. Sleeping on your face causes wrinkles because the pillow case absorbs your body's natural water and oils. You can also cause a crease depending on how your skin folds while you sleep. Remember the saying your mom said? If you make that face long enough, it'll stay like that! 

Can stress cause wrinkles?
