Wrinkles are nothing but thin creases that we notice on certain parts of our body as our age increases. You can notice wrinkles on your face, especially at the corner of the eyes, on your neck and your hands. However, wrinkles have come to be seen as synonymous with old age and people, especially women, panic at the first signs of wrinkles. Our skin contains elastin and collagen and it is these substances that give it the elasticity. As we grow older or even in case of skin damage, these elements reduce. As a result of this, the skin looks creased and sagging. Wrinkles also are caused by over exposure to the rays of the sun. This often results in squinting and causes wrinkles around the eyes. If you smoke on a regular basis, you are likely to develop wrinkles.
