At what age you will start seeing wrinkles depends on lifestyle, genetic factors, and more. However, it is important to note that wrinkles may begin to show up much earlier than you expect, and even when they don’t your skincare practices in earlier life will have a ripple effect on future wrinkle development.

Many people believe that wrinkles are directly related to aging, so those in their 20s probably feel that they won’t have to worry about it. In spite of this sense of security, age is no guarantee, and it may surprise you to learn that our collagen production actually decreases by 1% per year after age 20. Even though it may not seem like a drastic drop, it’s important to realize that, even at this age, the aging process is underway, and how you treat your skin now will have major repercussions later on.

During an individual’s 30s life becomes hectic with many in the thick of their careers dealing with new responsibilities such as children, increased financial pressures, and aging parents. In addition to these mounting pressures, there are also biological changes taking place here that can affect your skin. Your skin won’t produce new skin cells as quickly as it used to – in fact, we only start producing new skin cells after 28-35 days in our thirties, compared to 14 days or so a decade ago. If you don’t take care of your skin properly, it can become easy for it to appear lackluster. This is because your skin won’t be able to shed dead skin cells as efficiently either. Furthermore, since your skin won’t be able to retain moisture as well, dryness can result.

As people enter their 40s and 50s, they usually start paying more attention to their skin as visible changes begin to appear. Collagen production often slows down as you age, leaving your skin more vulnerable than at any other time. Furthermore, hormonal fluctuations associated with menopause can also affect the quality of your skin, especially for women.

Wrinkles are a natural and inevitable sign of aging that occur primarily as our collagen production declines. In addition to promoting elasticity and firmness, collagen is a key structural protein for our skin. In the absence of elastin, your skin can sag and lose its natural luster – combine this with the loss of fatty tissues, thinner blood vessels, diminished sebum oil secretion, and free radical damage, and wrinkles and fine lines can start to appear. Other factors contribute to wrinkles as well such as sun damage, smoking, general health, and repetitive facial movements such as squinting.

Although wrinkles are a natural and eventually inevitable consequence of aging there are ways to minimize their appearance or put off their development. Living a healthy lifestyle including diet, exercise, hydration, avoiding smoking, mental wellness and more can have a hugely positive impact when it comes to combating the development of wrinkles.

Maintaining a regular skincare routine, even something as simple as exfoliating and moisturizing at home, will give you your best chance at preventing wrinkles.
