Behind What Causes Wrinkles
Muscle Use
 Everybody has certain facial expressions they use that make them who
they are, one example being actor Jim Carrey. We've probably all seen
his crazy facial antics, but these facial expressions can sometimes
come at a cost, when it comes to wrinkles. When certain muscles of the
face are used frequently in the same manner, eventually, it will cause
wrinkles like crows feet, frown lines and brow wrinkles.
Unfortunately, even the best anti wrinkle creams won't be able to do
much to help wrinkles caused by muscle use.
Botox injections are one
solution, as they paralyze the muscles underneath fine lines, and slow
down the progression of wrinkles due to muscle use.
But,
on the downside,
Botox is a toxin that comes from
a bacterium called
Clostridium botulinum,
which causes muscle paralysis, so this should not be used by anyone
with a previous neurological condition, that is
pregnant, or that is allergic to
albumin. There have also been reports of the paralysis spreading from
the injection site to other areas of the body. Though the procedure is
quick and easy, serious thought should be given, before deciding on
this method.
Free Radicals
Free
radicals are very unstable molecules, with unpaired electrons. They
quickly search out other molecules from which they can "steal" an
electron in order to become stable. The act of taking that electron
then creates a whole chain reaction of new free radicals, which in the
body can wreak havoc on healthy cells, including skin cells. If the
skin cells are not healthy, they cannot produce enough antioxidants to
fight the free radicals, and also maintain levels of other nutrients
to keep skin firm and wrinkle free.
Antioxidants like vitamin A, C, E are very helpful in combating free
radicals, and the best place to find them is in fresh foods, like
fruits and vegetables. While supplements can provide these nutrients,
they are better found in the foods you eat, as your body will more
easily absorb them.
If
you are like me, and want to do the best you can for your body, your
health, and your skin, then take a look at the factors I discussed
above into what causes wrinkles, and see where you can make some
simple changes. Then, do a little of your own research into what
quality products are available to help you keep your skin healthy,
young and wrinkle free.
