Whilst
aging & getting wrinkles is a natural process that occurs as we grow older
year by year, but there still are some
unnatural ways that we are incorporating in our daily lives that may be the
reason of early or premature wrinkling or aging for us.
These two facts or ways of aging and wrinkles are
also backed by science itself. The first type of natural aging and getting
wrinkles over the face and body is known as Intrinsic Aging, whereas the other unnatural type of aging that
have many factors or causes for it to occur is medically and scientifically
known as the term Extrinsic Aging.
It is highly impossible to stop natural aging process to occur to our bodies as we will grow year by year naturally. Even if we can control the procedure by doing cosmetic surgeries, we will fall in a very bad trap of being in a position where we will have to keep getting these surgeries in future as well or we may get addicted to these surgeries and end up with a look of facial features that we dislike.
But we can always slow down the natural aging
procedure of our skin and we can totally prevent the Extrinsic Aging that is unnatural way of wrinkles and aging by
following some easy lifestyle and remedies.
If
you wish to know what are the actual causes of both types of aging and how can
you avoid the Extrinsic Aging & slow down Intrinsic Aging, then please read
this whole blog post to help you achieve a youthful and wrinkle free skin.
Causes of Aging (Intrinsic & Extrinsic Aging)
1. Ultraviolet Light (UV Light)
Ultraviolet radiations that come directly from
sunlight, speeds up the normal skin maturing procedure. These radiations are an
essential driver of early wrinkling. Being
visible to UV lights or radiations on a
daily basis can separate your skin's connective tissues, collagen and elastin
filaments, which lie in the more profound layer of skin that is known as Dermis.
Without the steady connective tissues, our skin
loses strength and adaptability. Skin then, at that point, starts to droop,
becomes wrinkly and starts aging rapidly.
2. Natural Aging
As you get older and cross your forties, your skin
normally turns out to be not so much elastic but rather more delicate and
fragile. Reduced creation of normal skin oils dries your skin and causes it to
show up more crumpled and creates wrinkles in return.
As we start to age and grow older, fats in the more
deep layers of our skin lessens. This tends to causes free, droopy skin and
wrinkles that are apparent everywhere on body and face.
3. Repetitive Facial Expressions
Facial expressions and movements, like squinting or
grinning, lead to scarcely discernible differences and turn into wrinkles. Each
time you utilize a facial muscle, a fissure is caused underneath the outer
layer of the skin. Also, as skin ages, it loses its flexibility and elasticity
and is at this point where after making certain expressions the muscles are not
ready to spring back once again into the right spot once they move after facial
expressions or movements. Now the grooves or fissures that are caused by the
facial expressions are not able to spring back and stay on the skin as
wrinkles.
4. Smoking
Smoking also tends to speed up the aging process and
causes your skin to sag easily and produce wrinkles before the intended times
for these wrinkles to get produced.
5. Getting Tanned Using Sunlight, Tanning Bed or Tanning Equipment
Each time you get a tan, you rashly age your skin.
This remains constant in the event that you get a tan from the sun, a tanning
bed, or other indoor tanning gear. All radiate unsafe UV beams that speed up
how rapidly your skin ages.
6. Extreme Alcohol Intake
Too much alcohol intake can actually be bad for your
body. Alcohol directly or indirectly reduces the hydration of your body and
once your body gets dehydrated, you tend to start aging quickly, because it is
scientifically backed that dehydrated skin has more chances of getting damaged
and this damage creates wrinkles and aging signs.
7. Dehydrated Body & Skin
If you are not taking your fluids normally and are
ignoring the hydration of your body then you will definitely have the chances
of dehydrating your body and skin and eventually leading it get damaged and
increased chances of aging and wrinkles.
8. Unhealthy Diet
People who eat unhealthy and junk food including too
much red meat can tend to experience premature aging easily and gain wrinkles
earlier than expected.
