If there is one phenomenon that no one can avoid, it is wrinkles. They are a sign that your skin is aging. The first wrinkles generally develop around the age of XNUMX. However, the reality for some is totally different. As with white hair or baldness, people are not the same when it comes to the appearance of the first wrinkles. And for some, they develop sooner than expected!

So, why you have wrinkles as a young man and what to do to stop them from developing? To start, find out what causes the first wrinkles to develop. Then, discover the solutions to prevent the development of wrinkles in a young man.

Young man and first wrinkles, what is the reason?

To begin with, it is necessary to know why you have wrinkles when you are a young man. This way, you can make sure to adjust your lifestyle, your habits and the products you use to prevent them from happening.

Distinguish between fine lines and wrinkles

The development of the first wrinkles on a person are almost always first on the face, and more particularly around the eyes and on the forehead. However, it is essential to differentiate between fine lines and wrinkles. Indeed, when you are a young man, it happens more often that the features on your skin are fine lines and not wrinkles.

A fine lines happens to be a small wrinkle, shallower but which develops earlier. It is recognized by its facial location: it appears in most cases at the corner of the eye, where the skin is thinnest and most sensitive. But, unlike the wrinkle which is the sign of skin aging, the fine lines mainly reveal a lack of hydration of the skin tissues. Therefore, it will be possible to reduce it or remove it completely with specific gestures et suitable moisturizing cosmetic care as we will discover in the second part.

What is the cause of the first wrinkles in a young man?

The formation of wrinkles in a man can occur as a result of various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. When you are a young man, external causes usually have a greater responsibility for the appearance of the first wrinkles. Here are all the possible causes in skin aging and the appearance of your wrinkles:

1 - The natural aging of the body can lead to the development of wrinkles early on. 

As long as our skin is young, the epidermis regenerates and tightens immediately after the skin is deformed. Unfortunately, with age, the dermis contains less water, cell renewal takes place less quickly and elastin and collagen production is reduced. As a result, the epidermis loses its elasticity and wrinkles develop. DNA often determines the more or less advanced age at which this process will begin. However, at your age it is highly likely that other external phenomena are responsible for the appearance of your first wrinkles.

2 -The first wrinkles in a young man can be the consequence of oxidative stress in cells.

Oxidative stress is the manifestation of an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants. When there are too many free radicals in the body, and antioxidants are no longer able to compensate; they become harmful and accelerate cellular aging and therefore the development of the first wrinkles. 

3 - Dehydrated skin is likely to cause the development of the first wrinkles.

When the skin 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. The first alert sent by the body that indicates that you are lacking in hydration is the appearance of fine lines. 

4 - Lifestyle can cause the appearance of the first wrinkles in a young man.

Poor food consumption, chronic stress, smoking, poor sleep and pollution are, among others, factors in the appearance of wrinkles in a young man. All these factors risk damaging the components of the dermis, such as hyaluronic acid, and accelerating skin aging.

5 -The appearance of wrinkles in a young man is favored by the sun's rays.

Too frequent exposure to the sun accelerates skin aging and therefore the appearance of the first wrinkles. In fact, ultraviolet rays weaken the cells of the epidermis and damage the fibroblasts, the cells which are responsible for the production of elastin and therefore for the elasticity of the skin.

What steps to take to fight against the development of fine lines and first wrinkles in a young man?

1 - The appropriate actions to avoid wrinkles in a young man:

• Wash your face and neck twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. 
• Moisturize your skin well with very specific products for dehydrated skin. If you have fine lines around your eyes, use an eye cream. 
• Gently massage your skin using your fingers.

2 - The bad actions that promote the formation of the first wrinkles in a young man: 

• Do not apply too much anti-wrinkle product. At a young age these serums will be useless since your skin is not mature enough for such rich products. If your wrinkles are really marked, you can use one per week but with very specific anti-wrinkle agents for "young skin".
• Be careful not to not do aggressive gestures on your skin when applying your creams. To avoid this, use gentle, circular movements directed from the inside out to stimulate the muscles of the skin and epidermis.

Some hygiene and diet tips to prevent the appearance of wrinkles early

1 - Eat a balanced diet for wrinkles as a young man.

• Make sure you drink at least 1,5l of water daily to meet your skin's hydration needs.
• Pay attention to your diet. Be careful not to consume foods that are too salty, too sweet and too fatty, which are involved in the production of free radicals and toxins.
• Eat foods rich in antioxidants that prevent premature aging of cells.
• Favor the consumption of foods rich in minerals, vitamins (especially of group B) and trace elements. If you have a deficiency in essential fatty acids, especially in omega 3, you will accelerate the arrival of the first signs of aging, and therefore wrinkles in a young man.

2 - Adopt a healthy lifestyle to fight against early wrinkles.

• Try to avoid cigarettes as much as possible which is responsible for the degradation of the quality of the epidermis. Indeed, be aware that the products contained in cigarettes degrade many constituents of the dermis and therefore block the irrigation of skin tissues.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun and protect your skin as much as possibleby wearing a cap, scarf or hat and putting on special sunscreen for face if possible. 
• Sleep time is very essential for the body to recover and regenerate. Ideally, get 8 hours of sleep a night and XNUMX hours a minimum.
• Chronic stress also accelerates the aging of the body and consequently the appearance of wrinkles in a young man. We realize that chronic stress is unfortunately difficult to control. That being said, try to adopt techniques for relaxing or doing activities that relax you.
