Does Stress Causes Wrinkles?


Does stress causes wrinkles? This is one question often asked in forum sites, questions and answer sites, like yahoo answers. I have even received a few emails on this topic. This has actually spurred me to write this article. You will find out in this article whether or not stress causes wrinkles.
 

Is stress part of what causes wrinkles?

Many people especially those who have been following my blog now know that sun exposure, smoking, etc are part of what causes wrinkles. Is stress also part of the causes?
Stress can affect the face. This is one part of the body mostly affected by stress.
Someone who is stressed may be emotional or financial stress could show obvious sign of aging as time goes on. And this means more wrinkles! Although, we all will have wrinkles someday, but, it will come earlier if you are stressed, this is so because; stress slows down the cell renewal processes.
Also, we are aware that facial expressions like frowning are somehow related to stress. For instance, someone who is passing through financial stress will certainly not be happy but sad and could make him react negatively to happenings around him even to his close ones. And you know when you are not happy, frowning is likely going to take over your face.
Stress can alter your behavior and make you do things you have not being doing. Stress can cause you to take to smoking if you are not already smoking. If you are already the smoking type, it can make you increase the number of sticks that you puff. And you know smoking is one of the causes of wrinkles.
Now you know how stress causes wrinkles. If you are currently facing stress in your life, you must do something about it now to prevent you from having those wrinkles showing early or prematurely on your skin, so that you don’t get more stressed when you start seeing those wrinkles on your face.
If you need help on how to treat wrinkles, you can read my post on how to get rid of wrinkles or better visit a skin care expert or a dermatologist for information how to go about it.
