Although it is natural for wrinkles to appear after the age of 30, it is also not always easy to accept them 100%. And that is why we are going to see today the solutions and tips that exist to slow down development. So what can be done to prevent the rapid development of wrinkles at age 45? First, learn the factors that cause wrinkles at age 45. Then, in a second step, find out how to avoid their intensification when you are 45 years old.

Where do wrinkles come from at 45?

What mechanism causes the appearance of wrinkles?

Wrinkles are one of the first signs that alert us to the aging of our skin. These lines that form on your face are basically the result of the gradual decrease in two proteins which are naturally present in our dermis:

• Collagen of which the dermis is essentially made up. It is responsible for regenerating skin tissue and therefore helps maintain firmer and supple skin. As we age, and around the age of 30 in particular, the production of collagen deteriorates: it is produced with less quality, it decreases in proportion and in strength. As a result, the dermis loses elasticity, tone and firmness.
• Elastin which has elastic properties and which consequently will allow the dermis to resume its basic structure as soon as it is deformed. Result, it therefore gives suppleness and elasticity to the epidermis.

When we get older, and therefore at 45, collagen and elastin gradually disappear and cause wrinkles. You should know that this phenomenon is triggered by multiple internal and external factors. When you are 45 years old, internal factors are probably more responsible for the formation of wrinkles. However, external factors are able to accentuate the phenomenon. We will now see all the factors that lead to skin aging:

Factors that trigger the formation of wrinkles at age 45

Internal factors

1 - The body's natural aging is the cause of wrinkles at age 45.

As long as our skin is young, the epidermis regenerates and tightens each time the skin is deformed. However, when we get older and therefore at 45, the dermis stores less water, cell renewal slows down and the production of collagen and elastin decreases. As a result, the skin loses its elasticity and wrinkles appear. However, external factors often amplify or accelerate this mechanism.

2 - Wrinkles can appear as a result of oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants. When there are too many free radical molecules in the body, and antioxidants can no longer balance them; they become harmful and they will then promote cell aging and therefore the appearance of wrinkles. A food consumption rich enough in antioxidant ingredients will slow down oxidative stress in the body. 

Extrinsic factors

4 -The sun's rays accelerate the formation of wrinkles at age 45 .

Overexposure to the sun accelerates the aging of the skin and therefore the development of wrinkles. Indeed, it should be known that ultraviolet rays weaken the skin cells and affect the proper functioning of the fibroblasts, the cells which manufacture elastin and therefore the elasticity of the skin.

3 - A lack of hydration often leads to the formation of wrinkles.

When the skin does not have sufficient hydration, it does not flush out toxins and this promotes cell aging. In addition, note that the more the skin lacks hydration, the more wrinkles are visible!

5 - A healthy lifestyle can accelerate the aging of the skin at 45 years old .

Excessively industrial food consumption, chronic stress, tobacco, pollution or even a lack of sleep are, among others, factors in the formation of wrinkles at 45 years old. All these factors are liable to degrade skin components such as hyaluronic acid and accelerate skin aging.
