As the body ages, the skin loses its stretchy properties and wrinkles set in.
Excessive sun exposure is one of the major factors of premature skin-aging. External factors such as sunlight, chemicals in cigarettes and industrial pollutants, alcohol, fluorescent lights can age your skin more rapidly than any other part of the body. This is particularly noticeable on the face. Lines and wrinkles appear on the face due to loss of skin elasticity and tone.
The real secret of successfully combating wrinkles lies in a healthy skin structure and underlying connective and muscle tissues, nerves and capillary network. The strength of the connective tissues depends on the healthy supply of blood and oxygen, effective elimination of waste, hormonal balance, muscle mobility and nutritional status of the body.
