We usually think wrinkles and fine lines are only caused by aging. Yet, you may have seen people who are years away from being considered ‘old’ sport a few wrinkles and fine lines, making them look older. So why do some people’s skin age much faster than others? Wrinkles and fine lines aren’t only caused by aging; many factors contribute to and even enhance their appearance. Here we discuss all the different factors that can lead to signs of premature aging: Natural Aging Process Our skin needs two things to remain firm: collagen and elastin. Collagen helps keep the skin firm and holds the skin cells together, while elastin is responsible for the stretchiness of the skin. As we age, our skin produces lesser quantities of collagen and elastin, which causes the skin to lose its firmness and become loose. As skin loosens, wrinkles and fine lines appear. They are most prominent around the neck, forehead, and cheeks. Continuous Sun Exposure UV-rays from sun exposure  can damage the coll...

There are several options to fight wrinkles and fine lines . 1.  Vitamin Supplement If you don’t trust what the small print at the back of anti-aging creams says, you can always supplement the collagen and vitamins that your body needs via vitamin supplements. Vitamin C  is an antioxidant that helps stimulate collagen production, and you can have it with peptides to help things along. 2.  Chemical Peels Those who do not want to get Botox done to their face can opt for chemical peels , which ‘loosen cellular debris,’  and promote skin rejuvenation .
