Many of us do not realize the changes that are taking place on our body and face. Sometimes we look at our old photographs and realize how much we have changed. Age brings changes. We don't realize them because we see ourselves everyday. When you meet a friend after many years, both of you may utter at the same time - how much have you changed! That is aging. To keep yourself looking young, you have to fight wrinkles everyday, so that next time when you meet someone after many years, they will exclaim- you have not changed at all.

How do wrinkles form? What are the ways to avoid wrinkles and what to do about wrinkles that cannot be stopped? How to maintain the youth? Let us find out.

Wrinkles- how do they form?

As you know, our skin is made of three layers - the epidermis, the dermis and the underlying fat layer. As we grow, the skin deteriorates and loses its youth because of genetic programming. This programming also makes our hair white and makes our teeth fall as we age. We cannot stop this genetic change. Sun damage takes toll of the skin and the skin ages much faster because of that. Two persons of same age may have skin with different aging. One who has moved around in the sun freely will show much more damage on the skin compared to one who has protected his/her skin from sun.

In the next part we will find out more about wrinkles formation and treatment.
