Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process. These folds and creases can appear on almost any part of your body. However, they tend to be most noticeable when they are first seen on the face, neck and hands.
The skin care experts at D Luxe Lab in Toronto are here for you through every step of the aging process, including the development and treatment of wrinkles. Younger patients often wonder when they will first notice wrinkles and are surprised to learn that it could be as early as their 20s.
What Causes Wrinkles?
There is no specific age that you will first notice wrinkles. You could first notice wrinkles in your 20s or not until much later in life. Wrinkles can have a number of different causes which are discussed below. These causes can make it more likely that you will notice wrinkles.
Age
The older you are, the more likely you are to notice wrinkles. This is due to a number of factors, all of which have to do with your skin. As you age, your dermis (the middle layer of skin) becomes thinner, your skin has difficulty retaining moisture, and your skin doesn’t produce oil as well. All of this contributes to the appearance of wrinkles.
Sun and Tanning Bed Skin Damage
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and tanning beds can damage the skin. The UV light can break down collagen in the skin and decrease the skin’s elasticity. This can all contribute to the premature development of wrinkles.
Smoking
You probably know that smoking is bad for your lungs, but did you know that smoking is also bad for your skin? Smoking can interfere with the body’s production of collagen, which can cause the development of wrinkles.
When Will You First Notice Wrinkles?
As you can tell from reading above, there are a number of factors that can influence when you will first notice wrinkles. The younger you are, the less likely you are to notice wrinkles. You are more likely to notice wrinkles if you have had a lot of sun or tanning bed exposure or if you smoke. For most people, wrinkles first appear in their 20s and 30s and then become more prominent as they age.
