SKIN WRINKLE
As you age, your skin undergoes gradual changes:
-
Cells divide more slowly and the inner layer of skin (the dermis) starts to thin. Fat cells beneath the dermis begin to shrink. In addition, the ability of the skin to repair itself decreases with age, so wounds heal more slowly. The thinning skin becomes prone to injuries and damage.
-
The deeper layer of the skin, which provides the support structure for the surface skin layers, loosens and unravels. Skin then loses its elasticity (ability to stretch and return to position). As a result, skin sags and forms furrows.
-
Glands that secrete oil shrink (atrophy). This leaves the skin without a protective layer of oil. The skin’s ability to stay moisturized decreases, becoming dry and scaly.
-
Frown lines (between the eyebrows) and crow’s feet (lines that spread from the corners of the eyes) develop because of repetitive muscle contractions during facial expressions.
-
Gravity causes skin and tissues to sag, leading to formation of jowls and drooping eyelids.
Sunlight, Ultraviolet Radiation, and Photoaging
Sunlight exposure is the most important cause of early aging of skin (a process called photoaging). Sunlight exposure is also the main cause of skin cancers. The two types of sun rays that can injure the skin are ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB). Exposure to ultraviolet radiation accounts for most of the symptoms of early skin aging. Much of the damage is underway by age 20:-
UVA affects the deep layers of skin. Most of the ultraviolet rays that reach the earth are UVA. UVA is not as intense as UVB. UVA rays are equally intense throughout the entire day and year. UVA can pass through clouds and glass.
-
UVB is the main cause of sunburns. It mostly affects the outer skin layers. UVB is most intense in the United States between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. from April to October. Skin damage from UVB can also occur during winter, especially at high altitudes or in places with snow and ice, which reflect rays onto the skin. Window glass filters out most UVB rays.
-
Even small amounts of UV radiation trigger the processes leading to skin wrinkles.
-
Long-term repeated exposure to sunlight adds up. This is responsible for the problems of aging skin, including basal cell and squamous cell cancers.
-
Intense exposure to sunlight in early life is an important cause of melanoma, an aggressive type of skin cancer.
- Sunlight damages collagen fibers. Collagen is the main protein that gives structure to the skin. Sunlight also damages elastin. This is another protein in the skin that helps it and the tissue below stay springy and strong.
- In response to sun-induced elastin damage, the body produces large amounts of enzymes called metalloproteinases.
- Some of these enzymes break down collagen. The result is an uneven formation of disorganized collagen fibers called solar scars. Repetition of this abnormal skin rebuilding causes wrinkles.
- An important event in this process is the over-production of oxidants, also called free radicals. Excessive amounts of oxidants damage the body’s cells. They can even alter the genetic material of cells. Oxidation may lead to wrinkling by activating the specific metalloproteinases that degrade connective tissue.
Other Factors Responsible for Wrinkles
In addition to sunlight, other factors can speed the formation of wrinkles.Cigarette Smoke. Smoking produces free radicals in the body. These cause wrinkles and age-related skin problems to develop sooner. Free radicals also increase the risk of non-melanoma skin cancers. Studies suggest that smoking and resulting oxidation produce higher levels of metalloproteinases.
Air Pollution. Ozone is a common air pollutant. It may reduce the body’s vitamin E level. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant that protects cells against the effects of free radicals.
