However, you can already be reassured, know that solutions exist to delay this process. This is exactly the subject that we are going to cover today: what are the causes and solutions to fight against wrinkles at 40 years old. First, we will see the causes that lead to the development of wrinkles at age 40. Then discover the solutions to prevent their spread in quarantine.

Why do I have wrinkles at 40?

What is responsible for the development of wrinkles?

Wrinkles turn out to be one of the first clues that warn about the aging of our epidermis. These dermal cracks are partly linked to the disappearance of two proteins which are naturally present in our skin:

• Collagen is the main constituent of the dermis. Its task is to regenerate the skin tissues and therefore helps maintain firmer and supple skin. When you get older, and around your thirties in particular, the production of collagen decreases in intensity: it is made with less quality, it decreases in abundance and strength. The skin therefore loses suppleness, tone and firmness.
• Elastin which has elastic characteristics and which will therefore allow the dermis to regain its original shape each time it is deformed. Result, it therefore gives elasticity and suppleness to the skin.

As they get older, and therefore at 40, they disappear and cause wrinkles. Note that this mechanism is operated by different intrinsic and extrinsic factors. When you are 40 years old, internal factors may be more responsible for the appearance of wrinkles. However, external factors are able to accentuate the mechanism. Discover all the factors that cause the aging of the epidermis:

What factors cause the development of wrinkles at 40?

Intrinsic factors

1 - The natural aging of cells is the cause of wrinkles at age 40.

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 40, the skin contains less water, cell renewal takes place less quickly and the production of elastin and collagen decreases. As a result, the epidermis loses its elasticity and wrinkles develop. Genetics generally determine the more or less advanced age at which this process will begin. However, other external phenomena often lead to the development of wrinkles at the age of 40.

2 - Oxidative stress promotes cellular aging and wrinkles.

Oxidative stress is the result of an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants. Indeed, when the molecules of free radicals are present in too large a quantity in the organism, and that the antioxidants can no longer balance them; they become harmful and promote cell aging and therefore the appearance of wrinkles prematurely. The genetic makeup plays an important role in this mechanism, however it is possible to act on it. Indeed, a food consumption sufficiently rich in antioxidant compounds makes it possible to prevent and slow down the increase of oxidative stress in the body.

Extrinsic factors

3 - The sun's rays have an influence on the development of wrinkles at age 40.

Overexposure to the sun accelerates skin aging and therefore the development of wrinkles. Indeed, know that UV weakens the skin cells and affects the proper functioning of fibroblasts, cells whose role is the production of elastin and therefore the elasticity of the skin.

4 - A poor lifestyle can lead to the development of marked wrinkles .

Poor food consumption, stress and anxiety, smoking, pollution or even a lack of sleep are particularly involved in the formation of wrinkles at the age of 40. Each of these factors is likely to deteriorate components of the dermis such as hyaluronic acid and promote aging of the epidermis.

5 - A lack of hydration is likely to cause the arrival of wrinkles in your forties.

When the skin does not have sufficient hydration, it does not eliminate toxins and this results in promoting aging of the cells. In addition, also know that wrinkles are more marked when your skin lacks hydration!

• Eat healthy and balanced. Avoid foods that are too salty, too sweet and too fatty, which are involved in the production of free radicals and toxins in the body.
• Eat foods rich in antioxidants that prevent premature aging of the body. We recommend the consumption of red fruits which are part of the foods with the greatest nutritional contributions in antioxidants and therefore fight effectively against free radicals and the decline of skin tissues at 40 years.
• prefer vegetable food consumption (vegetables and pulses). Indeed, according to a study, wrinkles are more established in people who eat a large amount of animal proteins (particularly dairy products and red meats) and refined carbohydrates (particularly pastries, cakes and sugary drinks)
• Favor the consumption of products rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements. In case you have an imbalance of essential fatty acids, particularly in omega 3, you will promote the arrival of the first signs of aging, and therefore wrinkles at 40 years old.

2 - Adopt a healthy lifestyle to prevent the development of wrinkles in your forties.

• Drink daily and at least 1,5l of water per day to meet your skin's hydration needs.
• Wash your skin  daily, morning and evening with a moisturizing lotion or milk depending on your skin type and remove your makeup  before bed to allow the skin to breathe.
• Avoid smoking which is responsible for the degradation of the condition of the epidermis. The toxic products degrade certain constituents of the dermis and therefore block the irrigation of the skin tissues.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and protect your skin as much as possible wearing a hat, a cap and putting on specific sunscreen for the face, organic and with the maximum of natural ingredients if possible. This is because sunscreens are full of chemical ingredients that can also attack your skin.
• Sleep time is very essential for the organism to regenerate itself. Ideally, get about eight hours of sleep a night and a minimum of 6 hours.
• Chronic stress also accelerates the aging of the body and consequently the appearance of wrinkles at 40 years old. We know, however, that stress is difficult to control. However, try to practice techniques to relax you or find activities that allow you to relax.
