Aging can result in many skin problems. Proper skin care is absolutely necessary to reduce various effects of aging on skin like wrinkles, loss of shine, dark spots etc. This Section of the website will cover various aspects of skin changes due to aging and will concentrate on anti aging products anti aging creams and anti wrinkle creams available in the market

A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial
expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.With prolonged water exposure, the outer layer of
skin starts to absorb water. The skin doesn’t expand evenly, however, causing it to wrinkle. Depletion of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin.Cortisol causes degradation of skin collagen.

Treatments and products (including anti-aging creams) promising to reduce, remove, or prevent age-related wrinkles are big business in many industrialized countries. Despite great demand, most such products and treatments have not been proven
to give lasting or major positive effects. Stretching the skin via a face lift will remove some wrinkles.

Additionally, tretinoin stimulates mitotic activity and increased turnover of follicular epithelial cells.Tretinoin is better known by the brand name Retin-A.
