Want to Know What Causes Wrinkles?

An old Irish curse says, "the end of the feast is frowning."

At the end of excesses comes frowning at all those unsightly face wrinkles.

So when those facial lines begin to appear, or even before crow's feet land around your eyes, take a look at the excesses in your life that will end up translating into wrinkles and always make sure you start a good skin care regimen.

If you need another reason to stop smoking, do it for your face. Smoking inhibits blood flow, which is needed to restore skill cells. Drinking alcohol, coffee and other high caffeine stimulant drinks are added chemical stressors.

Speaking of drinking, even if your glass holds calcium-fortified milk, don't use a soda straw. Sipping through a straw creates the same facial muscle overuse as smoking.  Sun worshippers and tanning bed addicts are trading a fashionable image for long term wrinkle problems.

A wide brimmed had or visor may not look cool, but the shade on your face prevents ultraviolet ray damage.

Spending time in outdoor sports, construction work or gardening are basically healthy activities as long as you use high SPF sunscreen and effectively cleanse and moisturize your face daily.

Living in a cold climate exposes your face to wind and drying indoor heat. Combat these winter weather problems by applying anti aging creams and moisturizer twice daily as needed.

Regardless of the weather, smile!  Because frowning produces wrinkles, too!
