Wrinkles
Wrinkles unfortunately are a part of the ageing process. As one gets older the skin begins to get less elastic, thinner and drier making it unable to protect itself from damage adequately. The collagen and elastin that is present in the skin, reduces and weakens over time, leading to the formation of creases, lines and wrinkles on the skin. A few common causes of wrinkles are smoking, pollution, stress, increased exposure to the sun and drug use.
