Why Men Get Sagging Skin & Wrinkles
Men get sagging skin and wrinkles because of age but so do women
. So age is not the only reason for wrinkles. Here are a few other reasons for getting wrinkles and sagging skin. Also let's consider How to Reduce the Risk of Sagging Skin & Wrinkles.
**Genetics Cause
Genetics plays a pretty obvious role. Some men simply have baby faces. They always look younger than their true age.
**UV Radiation Cause
Exposure to the sun plays a pretty obvious role, as well. We can tell by looking at areas of the body rarely exposed to sunlight. The skin's surface in those areas is smoother, more evenly pigmented and less wrinkled.
The face and hands are commonly the sites of wrinkling and lost elasticity. Men rarely cover their faces. Wearing gloves is not as common as it once was, unless they work outdoors. It is more common for men to work outdoors. So, there is more chance of exposure to sunlight.
Doctors have noted the role played by the sun for hundreds, possibly thousands of years. It has only been in recent years that scientists have been able to see what goes on at the cellular and molecular level.
When exposed to the UV rays present in sunlight, the number of free radical molecules naturally present in the skin increases. The activity of those molecules increases as well.
Researchers have also seen that UV radiation causes a depletion of the skin's coenzyme Q10 content. They wondered if that depletion could be the underlying molecular sagging skin and wrinkles cause.
**Age Related Cause
Dermatologists have seen that the skin's collagen content decreases with age. Collagen is one of the structural proteins responsible for the skin's elasticity.
They have also seen a decrease in the skin's hyaluronic acid content. Hyaluronic acid serves many purposes related to the skin's health. It plays a role in firmness, is involved in the production of new cells and helps to maintain the skin's moisture balance.
Excessive dryness is known to be a sagging skin and wrinkles cause, because men with oilier complexions have less wrinkling. Their skin's firmness and elasticity is better. The decrease in hyaluronic acid could lead to excessive dryness, which in turn could lead to wrinkling. Men seem to wrinkle later in life than women, probably because women tend to have more issues with dryness.
**Free Radical Damage Cause
This may all sound theoretical, but researchers feel there is enough proof to say that all of these factors (not just one of them) are involved. Free radical damage is known to contribute to inflammation and inflammation degrades the skin's elastic fibers.
A number of factors contribute to inflammation, including hormones and a man's diet. Eating foods with a high glycemic index (like white potatoes) causes changes in blood sugar levels that can lead to the production of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), which was recently cited by researchers as a sagging skin and wrinkles cause.
AGEs basically destroy cells from the inside out. They play a role in Alzheimer's and many other age-related diseases.
**Daily Shaving Cause
Daily shaving and the products men commonly use to care for their skin's health is another cause of inflammation. Their skincare products are harsher and more irritating.
There is yet another fact that is now common knowledge. The skin's antioxidant content decreases with age, which means free radical damage is more likely to occur.
It may seem to be too complicated to even think about preventing or correcting. But it is possible to address almost every sagging skin and wrinkles cause mentioned here. You'll learn about that in another article.
