Where do wrinkles appear?

- Neck
What are the types of wrinkles?
Wrinkles can be classified as active or passive. Active wrinkles are those that are present only on expression. They do not appear when the person is not using their muscles. Passive wrinkles appear even at rest
What are the main factors that cause wrinkles?
Apart from the normal ageing process, other factors responsible for the development of wrinkles:
- Smoking – experts say that it is due to a reduced blood supply to the skin.
- Light skin – experience a higher level of sun damage, which accelerates wrinkles.
- Genetic factors – if your parents developed wrinkles earlier than other people, your chances are significantly higher.
- Some jobs – people whose jobs expose them to more sunlight tend to become wrinkly earlier than others. Examples include fishermen, farmers, sailors, golfers, tanning booth employees (UV exposure), and gardeners.
- Exposure to UV (ultraviolet light) – people who spend considerable time out in the sun during their leisure hours are more likely to develop wrinkles earlier.
- Facial expressions – people who repeatedly smile, frown, or squint will develop fine lines and wrinkles earlier than other who do not do these facial expressions so often. In youth, the skin springs back, but as it gets older and loses its flexibility springing back becomes harder, resulting in more permanent grooves.
