Why do I have wrinkles at 55?

How do wrinkles form?

Wrinkles turn out to be one of the first clues that warn about the aging of our epidermis. These wrinkles on your face are mainly due to the disappearance of two proteins which are naturally present in our epidermis:

• Collagen is the main constituent of the dermis. It is responsible for regenerating skin tissue and therefore helps maintain firmer and supple skin. As we age, and around 30 years of age in particular, the production of collagen deteriorates: it is made less qualitatively, it loses consistency and solidity. As a result, the dermis loses elasticity, tone and firmness.
• Elastin which has elastic properties and which consequently will allow the dermis to regain its original structure each time it is deformed. As a result, it allows flexibility and elasticity to the epidermis.

As they get older, and therefore at 55, they disappear and cause wrinkles. Know that this phenomenon is activated by different internal and external factors. When you are 55 years old, internal factors play a bigger role in the appearance of skin cracks. Nevertheless, external factors are able to accentuate the phenomenon. Find out all the factors that lead to aging of the skin:

The causes that are responsible for the appearance of wrinkles at age 55

Internal causes

1 - The natural aging of the body is the main cause of wrinkles after the age of fifty.

When we get older and therefore at 55 years old, skin cells contain less water, cell renewal takes place less quickly and the production of elastin and collagen decreases. How does this manifest itself physically? the skin seems less supple, it loses elasticity and remains constantly wrinkled. 

2 - Oxidative stress accelerates cellular aging and therefore wrinkle development.

Oxidative stress is the manifestation of an imbalance between antioxidants and free radicals in the body. When there are too many free radicals in the body, and antioxidants can no longer counterbalance; they become harmful and promote cellular aging and therefore the development of wrinkles prematurely. 

3 - Hormonal aging leads to the faster formation of wrinkle formation at age 55. 

During menopause, the level of estrogen in the body drops, causing collagen and elastin to decrease more rapidly in the dermis. 

External factors responsible for wrinkles

3 - The development of wrinkles at age 55 is favored by the sun's rays: Too frequent and unprotected exposure to the sun accelerates the aging of the epidermis and therefore the appearance of wrinkles. 

4 - Skin that lacks hydration often leads to the formation of wrinkles:hen the epidermis does not receive sufficient water, it does not evacuate the toxins present in the body and this has the result of promoting cell aging. In addition, know that the more dehydrated the skin, the more wrinkles are marked!

5 - A healthy lifestyle can accelerate the development of wrinkles at age 55: An unbalanced diet, chronic stress, smoking, air pollution and lack of sleep are, among others, responsible for the development of wrinkles after the age of fifty. All these factors are liable to deteriorate the skin components, such as hyaluronic acid in particular, and to accelerate skin aging.
