The causes of wrinkles can be divided into two aspects. External factors include skin cracking caused by cold, dry climate and sun exposure, various skin diseases, smoking and excessive drinking, air pollution, frequent use of harmful cosmetics, and improper bathing. Internal factors include constipation, anemia, yin deficiency syndrome, low liver function, reduced physiological performance, physical weakness, malnutrition, dietary preferences, insufficient sleep, and excessive sexual activity. In addition, due to different living conditions and experiences for each person, even people of the same age may have significant differences in wrinkles. The most noticeable wrinkles on a person's face are usually on the forehead, mainly due to excessive contraction of the forehead muscles.
The process of wrinkle formation is divided into four stages:
After washing your face, if your facial skin feels tight and loses its tender luster, it enters the first stage: the dryness period. At this point, if you use moisturizing cosmetics and appropriately massage your skin with olive oil, your facial skin may regain its youthfulness. If left unchecked, it will enter the second stage: the hardening period. During this stage, the skin loses elasticity, becomes dull, and applying cosmetics has little effect; improvement can only be achieved through nutrition and facial massage. The third stage is the relaxation period, where fat accumulates under the skin, and fine lines become clearly visible. The final stage is the fixed period, during which correction and restoration are very difficult, and reliance on cosmetics for concealment becomes necessary.
