Causes of wrinkles
The first wrinkles can appear as early as 20 years of age. These are the mimic wrinkles that appear when we sniff our nose, raise our eyebrows and squint while talking and laughing. They arise on the bridge of the nose and forehead and also form on both sides of the nose. Mimic wrinkles are horizontal and vertical.
After 35 years, wrinkles around the eyes, the so-called "blossoming leg" begin. They appear earlier in women, who often suffocate. At the same time, there may be folds that extend from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth.
Premature wrinkles are formed by the wrong lifestyle: insomnia, alcohol dependence, smoking, low physical activity. Wrinkles often appear with a sharp decrease in weight or, conversely, with rapid weight gain.
