The appearance of wrinkles is indeed a phenomenon that no one escapes. They are the result of skin aging and in most cases develop around the age of 30. Of course this is an average. In fact, they appear unevenly in individuals. In fact, in the same way as with acne or cellulite, we are not all equal when it comes to the development of the first symptoms of skin aging, which are wrinkles. This is how for some of us, they show up sooner than expected!

The question then arises, why you have wrinkles at 16 and what to do to prevent them ? First of all, we will see the causes of the onset of wrinkles at your age. Then we will see solutions to fight wrinkles at 16.

What causes the appearance of wrinkles at 16?

First of all, it is important to know where do your wrinkles come from at 16. In this way, you can make sure to adapt your lifestyle, your habits and your care to avoid them.

Differentiate between fine lines and wrinkles

The appearance of the first wrinkles are generally found first on the face, and more particularly on the eye area and on the forehead. However, you are going to have to distinguish between first wrinkles and fine lines. Indeed, at 16 years old, it is more common for the features on your skin to be fine lines and not the first wrinkles.

A fine lines turns out to be a small wrinkle, shallower but which appears more prematurely. It usually appears at the outer corner of the eye, where the skin is most delicate and fragile. But, unlike the wrinkle which is the basic signal to indicate the aging of the skin, the fine lines mainly show a lack of hydration of the skin. Therefore, it will be possible to reduce it or remove it completely with the right gestures et suitable moisturizing cosmetics as we will see in the second part.

Wrinkles at 16, what are the causes?

The development of wrinkles at 16 may be the cause of many intrinsic and extrinsic factors. When you are 16 years old, extrinsic factors in most cases play a large part of the responsibility for the appearance of the first fine lines or wrinkles. Here are all the possible causes in skin aging and the appearance of your wrinkles:

1 - The natural aging of cells can lead to the appearance of wrinkles at 16 years old.

When we are young, the epidermis regenerates and tightens immediately after the skin is deformed. However, with age, skin cells contain less water, cell turnover decreases, and elastin and collagen production is reduced. How does this manifest itself physically? the skin seems less supple, it loses elasticity and remains constantly wrinkled. Heredity often determines the approximate age at which this process will begin. However, other external factors accelerate this process and cause wrinkles to appear earlier than expected.

2 - Oxidative stress promotes cellular aging and the first wrinkles.

Oxidative stress is the manifestation of an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants. Indeed, when the molecules of free radicals are present in too large quantities in the body, and that the antioxidants can no longer balance them; they become toxic and promote cellular aging and therefore the development of wrinkles prematurely. Although DNA plays a role in this phenomenon, eating food very rich in antioxidant compounds can prevent and slow down the increase in oxidative stress in the body.

3 - A lack of hydration can cause the appearance of wrinkles early.

When the skin does not receive enough water, it does not evacuate toxins and this has the consequence of promoting the aging of cells. The first symptom that alerts you to lack of moisture in your skin is the development of fine lines. However, be aware that if you do not pay attention to this signal, these fine lines can turn into wrinkles. Unfortunately it will then be much more complicated to remove or mitigate. Also know that the more your skin is dry and dehydrated, the more the wrinkles will be marked and visible!

4 - The sun's ultraviolet rays promote the development of wrinkles at age 16.

Overexposure to the sun accelerates epidermal aging and therefore the development of the first wrinkles. In fact, ultraviolet rays weaken the cells of the epidermis and damage the fibroblasts, the cells which manufacture elastin and therefore the elasticity of the skin.

5 - A bad lifestyle can lead to the appearance of wrinkles when you are 16 years old.

Excessively industrial food consumption, a stressful life, smoking, poor sleep and pollution are notably responsible for the development of wrinkles at 16 years old. All these factors risk damaging the components of the dermis, such as hyaluronic acid, and accelerating the aging of the skin.
