Wrinkle: The sign of aging
Wrinkles can be seen around the eyes, nose, and lips on the face skin after a certain age. And they don’t stay same at different stages of life, as with age they keep enlarging and appearing more and more. And they become the matter of concern for everyone. People facing the problem of wrinkles on their face, always have a question in their mind that what are these, and why appear more on their face after a definite phase. We can often get an idea of how old someone is by looking on his/her face, and especially on the skin.
With the age people get wrinkles on their face skin and they come due to spending a lot of time in the sun, smoking, and many other reasons. Our skin is made of three layers that are eh-puh-dur-mis (upper layer), dur-mis (middle layer), and sub-kyoo-tay-nee-us (inner layer). Over the time, our middle skin dur-mis start losing both collagen and elastin and due to this, our skin start getting thinner and it troubles getting enough moisture to the epidermis. And then the fat in the inner skin layer that provides skin a plump appearance also start disappearing, due to that the upper skin layer starts to sag, and wrinkles form.The increasing signs of aging can be due to the collection of skin pigments that can be treated.
