Wrinkle is a ridge or crumple of a surface. It usually refers to folds on fabric or clothes, or on the skin of an organism. In skin or other crease material a wrinkle or fold may be permanent if the material is folded the same way each time. Wrinkling in skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and many other factors. Rapid weight loss can also cause wrinkles by reducing the volume of fat cells that cushion the face. People who live in areas where the earth's protective ozone layer is thinning, may be more likely to have sun-damaged skin. Heavy smokers are almost five times as likely to have wrinkled facial skin than non-smokers. In fact, heavy smokers in their 40s often have facial wrinkles more like those of nonsmokers in their 60s. - AWT, Inc. is the Featured Guest in a New Audio Interview at SmallCapVoice.com By : Industry News
