Does smiling causes wrinkles?

We always hear of words like, stop frowning to stop facial wrinkles. But, we hardly hear of words like stop smiling to stop facial wrinkles.  So many of us don’t associate smiling with facial wrinkles in fact some thought that smiling can wipe out facial wrinkles. Is this true? Can smiling often lead to facial wrinkles? Read on to find out.
Smiling often can cause wrinkles to develop on the face. It is noticeable in places around the eyes especially the corners of the eyes and the mouth around the cheek.
Smile wrinkles which is sometimes called laugh lines develops on the face long before we get old. This is because as one grows older, the production of collagen and elastin diminishes. These proteins are very high when we are young. That is why no matter the facial expression of a little child, the face bounces back as soon as he/she relaxes the face.
Smile wrinkles or laugh lines is formed as a result of years of accumulative smiling which causes muscular movement such as folding and stretching of the face. The lines become more visible as we grow older and the skin becomes thinner and dryer.

Smile wrinkles just like any other wrinkles are caused by the following:
  • Excessive exposure to the sun. The sun contains harmful or dangerous rays that is very harmful to the skin. This can speed up the aging process thereby causing wrinkles on the face.
  • Smoking excessively can also cause wrinkles to develop on the skin. Smoke is known to cause a drop in the production of collagen and elastin. And a drop in these proteins causes the skin to wrinkle easily.
  • Frequent movement of the face which cause the facial muscles to move repeatedly can cause lines to form on the face.
