Causes of wrinkles
The first wrinkles can appear from the age of 20. These are mimic lines that begin to appear when we wrinkle our noses, raise our eyebrows, and grimace when we talk and laugh. They occur on the bridge of the nose and forehead, and also form on either side of the nose. The mimic wrinkles are horizontal and vertical.
After 35 years, wrinkles around the eyes, the so-called "crow's feet", begin to appear. They occur earlier in women who often squint. In the same period, folds may appear that go from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth, these folds on the face are called "rictus".
Premature wrinkles are formed with a bad lifestyle: lack of sleep, alcohol addiction, smoking, low physical activity. Often wrinkles occur with sudden weight loss or, conversely, with rapid weight gain.
