WRINKLES
Description and Possible Medical Problems
Like gray hair, wrinkles are a normal part of aging. However, wrinkles tend to appear earlier than gray hair in most people and so are fought more rabidly and for a longer period of time.
One factor we can’t control when it comes to wrinkles is the fact that skin becomes thinner as it ages, which hastens the appearance of wrinkles. Certain factors can speed up the initial appearance of wrinkles and make them worse once they do appear. Cigarette smoking and sun exposure ate often cited as the two best friends a wrinkle can have. Failing to drink enough water every day is also a significant factor, since adequately hydrated skin tends to wrinkle later and less often.
Most of the expensive skin creams that supposedly “turn back the clock” on wrinkles help keep the skin moist—if you apply the cream to damp skin—but the most important thing you can do is to hydrate your skin from within by drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. It’s never too late to start. You should also stop smoking cigarettes and restrict your exposure to the sun.
Wrinkles, of course, are irreversible, unless you decide to opt for cosmetic surgery.
Getting a face-lift has been a popular choice for both women and men for years, but the major drawback, besides the fact that any surgical procedure is dangerous, is the fact that it isn’t permanent, which necessitates a repeat performance in a number of years—and at regular intervals afterward. For some people, however, a face-lift is definitely worth it.
Dermatologists have prescribed the use of certain preparations for years, though the side effects can sometimes be harsh.
Again, more and more people today are deciding to let nature take its course and to age with grace—which includes getting wrinkles.
