It is of course common for wrinkles to develop strongly when you are 60 years old, but it is not always easy to love and accept them. So you must know that solutions exist to avoid too much training of the latter. This is precisely what we will see in this article: What are the causes of the development of wrinkles at 60 and what solutions exist to avoid them? To get started, find out what causes wrinkles to develop. Secondly, we will see how to prevent their amplification at age 60.

What causes wrinkles to form at 60?

What phenomenon causes the formation of wrinkles?

Wrinkles turn out to be one of the first alarm clues about the aging of our skin. These folds that develop on your face are particularly linked to the gradual decrease in two proteins which are naturally present in our epidermis:

• Collagen which mainly makes up the epidermis. Its function is to regenerate skin tissue and therefore helps to preserve firm and plump skin. When you get older, and around your thirties more precisely, the production of collagen decreases: it is manufactured with less quality, it loses in thickness and in solidity. As a result, the epidermis loses elasticity, tone and firmness.
• Elastin which has elastic properties and which therefore allows the skin to recover its initial appearance as soon as it is deformed. As a result, it gives elasticity and suppleness to the epidermis.

As they age, and therefore after sixty, they gradually decrease and trigger the development of wrinkles. You should know that this phenomenon is caused by various internal and external factors. When you are 60 years old, of course, internal causes have a greater responsibility for the appearance of puckering on your face. However, external factors can accelerate the phenomenon. We will now discover all the factors that cause the aging of the dermis:

What factors lead to the appearance of wrinkles at age 60?

Internal factors that are responsible for wrinkles

1 - The logical aging of the body is the main responsible for wrinkles at age 60.

When we get older and therefore at 60 years old, the epidermis stores less water, cell renewal decreases and the production of collagen and elastin decreases. The skin then loses elasticity and therefore remains constantly wrinkled. 

2 - Hormonal aging leads to the faster development of wrinkles at age 60. 

As the body ages and especially during menopause, the level of estrogen in the body decreases. This results in a faster decrease in elastin and collagen in the body. 

3 - Wrinkles can occur more quickly due to oxidative stress in cells.

Oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between antioxidants and free radicals in the body. Indeed, when the molecules of free radicals are present in too large a quantity in the body, and that the antioxidants can no longer neutralize them; they become harmful and promote cellular aging and therefore the appearance of wrinkles.

External factors

4 - The development of wrinkles at age 60 is favored by the sun's rays.

Overexposure to the sun promotes epidermal aging and therefore the development of wrinkles. Indeed, be aware that UV weakens skin cells and affects fibroblasts, the cells that make elastin.

3 - A lack of hydration causes the faster formation of wrinkles.

When the epidermis does not receive enough water, it does not eliminate the toxins present in the body and this has the consequence of promoting the aging of cells. Be careful, also know that when the skin lacks water, wrinkles are more visible!

5 - lifestyle can accelerate the development of wrinkles in your sixties.

An unbalanced diet, stress and anxiety, tobacco, poor sleep and pollution are, among others, factors in the development of wrinkles at age 60. All these factors risk deteriorating skin components such as hyaluronic acid and promoting the aging of the dermis.

Good habits to prevent the sudden appearance of wrinkles

1 - Eat a balanced diet to fight wrinkles at 60

• Eat healthy and balanced food. Be careful not to consume foods that are too sweet, too salty and too fatty, which are responsible for the production of free radicals and toxins in the body.
• Try to eat foods rich in antioxidants regularly that prevent premature aging of the body. Red fruits are among the foods with the greatest nutritional intake of antioxidants and therefore, they effectively fight against the development of free radicals and the decline of the skin at age 60.
• Choose a diet rich in plants (pulses and vegetables). According to a study, wrinkles are more marked in people who eat large amounts of animal proteins (especially dairy products and red meats) and refined carbohydrates (especially sugary drinks, cakes, and pastries)
• Eat foods rich in minerals, vitamins (especially of group B) and trace elements. If you have a deficiency in essential fatty acids, particularly in omega 3, you will encourage the development of the first signs of aging, and therefore wrinkles at age 60.

2 - Be careful to have a healthy lifestyle to prevent the development of wrinkles.

• Drink daily and at least 1,5l of water per day to meet your skin's hydration needs.
• Wash your skin  every morning and every evening with a moisturizing lotion or milk depending on your skin type and remember to remove your makeup before going to bed to avoid clogging the skin pores.
• Better to avoid tobacco which is responsible for the degradation of the condition of the skin. Toxic products degrade certain constituents of the dermis and prevent irrigation of skin tissue.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and protect your skin as much as possible wearing a cap, scarf or hat and using specific sunscreen for the face, organic and natural if you can. Indeed, sunscreens are full of chemicals that are also likely to damage your skin.
• Sleep time is very essential for the organism to regenerate itself. Ideally, get about eight hours of sleep per night and six hours at a minimum.
