What Causes Wrinkles?
Our skin has two layers: the epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (below the epidermis). Wrinkles happen in the dermis. As we age, our bodies produce less collagen. The collagen is what makes our skin elastic and smooth. Less collagen results wrinkles. Lots of factors contribute to this process. Here are some:
- Sun damage
- Smoking
- Dehydration
- Poor nutrition
- Facial expressions
- Pollution and toxins
- Natural aging
Top 5 Ways to Prevent & Erase Wrinkles Naturally
Quit Smoking:
Smoking is not good for skin. It makes you look years older, makes your skin dry and sallow looking, gives you age spots, and adds a ton of wrinkles to your face, especially around your eyes and lips.
Drink Water:
Drinking lots of water is good, as it moisturizes your skin. It also helps to get rid of toxins from your body. The skin looks healthy and radiant when it is properly hydrated.
Get Plenty of Sleep
While sleeping, our bodies produce human growth hormone, which induces growth and cell reproduction. When we don’t get enough sleep, our bodies produce cortisol, a stress hormone. Cortisol slows growth and tissue maintenance and results in dry skin.
Use a Nontoxic Sunscreen

Eat Lots of Antioxidants: Vitamins A, C, & E, and beta carotene are all antioxidants. We should eat some sources of antioxidants like Blueberries spinach, kale, walnuts, artichokes, cranberries and beans.
