Exposure to sunlight is one of the main reasons for wrinkles on the face.

Given the previous weather, SPF 30 or higher is recommended. Image for representational purpose only. Photo Courtesy: Istock

Apart from exposure to sunlight and smoking and drinking alcohol, squinting is another unsuspecting reason that can cause wrinkles.

Stress can also cause wrinkles because it decreases collagen production and can cause inflammation. Collagen loses flexibility and rigidity as it ages, making it less effective at promoting skin regeneration and wound healing. Stress can also cause wrinkles to emerge because high amounts of the stress hormone cortisol can break down the collagen and elastin in the skin. Image for representational purposes only.

People with dry skin produce less sebum, the skin's natural moisturiser, which acts as a barrier to shield your skin from the whims of the climate. Regularly moisturise at least twice a day to prevent wrinkles because doing so prevents dryness, which reduces the likelihood that wrinkles will appear. Image for representational purposes only.

The lack of sleep has often been associated with a variety of health issues and that includes making it difficult for the skin to heal. The skin's ability to retain moisture is compromised, as well as the pH level. All of this causes insufficient collagen formation, which speeds up the development of wrinkles.
