Your lifestyle may be to blame. Sleep deprivation, stress and smoking are major factors that contribute to signs of aging skin. In this post, we explore this relationship and how you can protect your skin from premature aging.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h4>What causes wrinkles?<\/h4>\n<p>Wrinkles develop because of both internal factors, like the natural aging process, as well as environmental factors, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sun exposure<\/li>\n<li>Smoking<\/li>\n<li>Pollution<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Stress<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When skin is dehydrated and\/or is lacking the collagen it needs to bounce back into place after movement, fine lines form. Over time, a crease develops, leading to the creation of an unwanted wrinkle\u2014a deeper and more permanent fine line. This is why the areas of our face we move the most\u2014around the eyes and mouth\u2014are the most vulnerable and also the first to develop wrinkles(1).<\/p>\n<h4>What are sleep wrinkles?<\/h4>\n<p>Sleep lines get their name from their source. While we are asleep, the constant pressure of the face against the pillow can result in the development of wrinkles(2). Of course, a fear of sleep wrinkles shouldn\u2019t stop you from getting a good night\u2019s sleep! In fact, the your skin health is closely linked to how well-rested you are.<\/p>\n<p>Poor quality of sleep has been scientifically shown to affect the appearance of the skin, making us look (and not just feel!) tired(2). Studies even point out that women who sleep less than 5 hours per night exhibit more signs of aging(1). The reason why we develop this &#8216;tired look&#8217; could be due to the fact that during sleep, there is a strong increase in skin blood flow(4) which carries needed oxygen and nutrients to the cells, keeping them plump and elastic. So a lack of sleep interrupts this process and our skin doesn\u2019t get the elements it needs, resulting in a dull complexion with more apparent wrinkles.<\/p>\n<h4>Does stress cause wrinkles?<\/h4>\n<p>Indirectly, stress does aggravate wrinkles, and it&#8217;s not just because of repeated frowning. Cortisol is one of the key hormones that the body releases when you&#8217;re stressed. Unbalanced cortisol levels are believed to have a negative impact on the immune system, leaving our bodies weak and vulnerable. Studies also show that stress and the resulting hormonal peaks lead to higher moisture loss in the skin and the subsequent formation of wrinkles(5).<\/p>\n<h4>How does smoking affect wrinkles?<\/h4>\n<p>Scientific research is rarely unanimous\u2014except when it comes to smoking and wrinkles: tobacco smoke causes premature skin aging. Nicotine interferes with the production of collagen, which keeps our skin elasticated and supple(6). When the skin lacks elasticity, it doesn&#8217;t bounce back smoothly into position after facial movements, gradually settling into a creased wrinkle.<\/p>\n<h4>How can you reduce or prevent wrinkles?<\/h4>\n<p>The best way to deal with wrinkles is prevention with daily sun protection. Other methods include topical treatments for wrinkles like antioxidants, acids (like retinol), and hyaluronic acid\u2014these ingredients have been proven(7) to help reduce and prevent skin aging by contributing to an increase in collagen, the protein our skin needs to stay resilient and wrinkle-free. By applying an anti-aging treatment regularly and combining it with a healthy lifestyle (quality sleep, low stress and no smoking), you can help promote skin regeneration and reduce the risks of developing premature wrinkles.<\/p>\n<h4>Fight wrinkles and loss of firmness around the clock with <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/vichy.html?brand=vichy&amp;main_page=brand&amp;category_id=5233\">Vichy<\/a>!<\/h4>\n<p>Powered by our anti-aging natural ingredient Rhamnose, our skin-firming anti-wrinkle formulations bring skin\u2019s regenerating powers back to life. <a href=\"https:\/\/well.ca\/brand\/vichy.html?brand=vichy&amp;main_page=brand&amp;category_id=5233\">Get reunited with your youth.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8211;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Krutmann, J. et al, &#8216;The skin aging exposome&#8217; in<u> Journal of Dermatological Science<\/u> (2016) 85(3): pp. 152-161.
