The skin is the largest functional organ of the human body. With age, a gradual decline sets in it and causes the loss of elasticity. As a result, skin starts sagging and wrinkles appear. These signs are most evident on the face, neck, and arms.

Wrinkles in the skin are caused by several reasons.  A normal healthy person does not develop wrinkles up to the age of 40 or 50. But after the age of 50, it becomes loose and develops wrinkles.

At young age females produce a hormone called Oestrogen which keeps the skin bloom. At this age, elastin protein is also present in sufficient quantity which maintains the elasticity of the skin. But when one turns 50 the production of this hormone decreases and skin starts becoming loose. Beyond 60, elastin begins to waste away from our body due to which our skin losses elasticity. By the age of 70, the activity of sweat glands decreases markedly and wrinkles become more prominent.

 The ultraviolet rays of the sun are also harmful in this respect. They dry out the oils present in the skin by which it develops wrinkles. Hence Wrinkles are prominent on the persons who spend more time in the sun.

The people who don’t take well balanced diet also develop wrinkles. Lack of moisture and protein causes wrinkles to appear. If you do not eat enough protein your body uses stored up protein which results in the loss of elasticity and the sagging of muscles.

This is because with the loss in weight, fat cells beneath the skin surface get reduced and wrinkles appear.

 Our body needs a lot of fresh water and facial exercises to keep wrinkles away.
