As we become older, wrinkles naturally develop. However, it is perfectly normal to have wrinkles on your skin.

As we age, our skin normally becomes drier, thinner, and less elastic. However, it may be a concerning factor if you start wrinkling before time.

Here are 8 factors that may cause wrinkles.

Sunlight exposure

UV radiation from sunlight can penetrate the deepest layers of skin and break down collagen, which makes the skin less flexible.

Smoking and alcohol consumption

Smoking often reduces blood flow, and the skin is dried out by alcohol. As a result, the skin loses strength and flexibility.

Squinting

Squinting and particularly active facial movements like furrowing your brows and frowning can also contribute to wrinkles.

Stress is a key culprit

This book offers ideas for increasing productivity and accomplishing more in less time, allowing entrepreneurs to concentrate on what is truly important.

Dry skin

If you have dry skin, you are more likely to have wrinkles. People with dry skin produce less sebum, the skin's natural moisturiser, which acts as a barrier to shield your skin from the whims of the climate.

Lack of sleep

Lack of sleep makes skin healing more difficult. The skin's ability to retain moisture is compromised, as is the pH level.

Excessive cosmetic use

Your skin can benefit from cosmetics, but overusing them could have the opposite effect.

Food deficiencies

If you don't get enough vitamins, your skin may start to show it by becoming dry, pigmented, dull, or overly oily.
