Dealing With Wrinkles!

Hello!

The fine lines and ridges on the skin are termed wrinkles. These are usually caused due to thinning of the epidermal layer or what we call the outer skin layer. According to dermatologists, inner skin layers lose elasticity, fat content and moisture that makes skin look puckered rather than supple and firm. The common reasons for wrinkles are aging, smoking, heredity, excessive dehydration and sun exposure.

Wrinkles can appear anywhere in the body, but the parts that seem most likely to show with aging are the back of the hands, neck, forehead, both sides of the eyes, below the eyes and other parts of the face, and . Men with no hair can also see wrinkles on the scalp. Here are ways to get rid of wrinkles:
