• As collagen and elastin production slows with age, the skin begins to sag and follow the pull of gravity.  • The decrease in moisture in the skin • Exposure to the sun and wind, pollution and poor diet. • Rapid weight loss causes wrinkles, when fat is depleted from the face. Areas that were plump with fat tend to contract and form wrinkles.  • Genetics play a large role in the development of wrinkles in the face.  • Thick skin tends to remain wrinkle-free longer, while thin skin is more prone to wrinkling. • Lifestyle plays a huge role in the development of wrinkles.Smoking and alcohol and drug abuse determine the extent and severity of the wrinkles.
