There are many reasons why people wrinkle.  \n\nAs we age the skin loses its elasticity and its ability to "spring back".\n\nSmoking causes premature wrinkling.\n\nExposure to the sun and wind causes wrinkling over time.\n\nSometimes losing a lot of weight causes wrinkling.

well in ancient times, ive heard folklore about old people being carried into the forest, because they were no longer helpful to the community.  but oftentimes ppl in the past did not live to be more than 60 years old...otherwise their families just took care of them until they got too sick, then they just treated them like any other dying person.  believe it or not, a few hundred yrs. ago, there were no nursing homes...yup...lol

sometimes old skin, clothes, bedsheets, or fabrics can irritate your skin...try cleaning or relaxing with a bath or lotions...

well if you stayed in the water long enough your entire skin would 'prune' the reason your toes and fingers wrinkle is that the overall volume there is low and surface area is relatively high and so water absorbtion is high.

As the time goes by our cells decay and we loose them, some of them cells are never replaced and the process of aging starts to cave in, the skin begin to wrinkle and our organs start to slow down functions..☺

It's normal with aging.  As you get older the hair on your head decrease but in places like eyebrows, ears, nose, and often times the back as well, the hair increases.  I am not really sure of any reason other than nature

Because they deep down inside they still believe that once they hit the age where they can no longer bare children they are worthless, unattractive and unneeded.  Also, it's a basic female belief that old = ugly.  Unfortunately, this is something that they've done to themselves.  Just pick up any Cosmo or Glamor and flip to any page.  That is what they believe that they have to live up to until the day that they die.

I'm glad somebody asked this question. I'm 36, and to a lot of people on here that probably seems old. The avitars all look 18 and skinny. What about us old people that have a bald spot and a spare tire?

Crows feet (eyes), age spots (hands) and what is commonly called the Turkey Neck are all signs of aging.\n\nBut they are not foolproof. I would have won money from the guy at the bar -- no one ever guesses my age and they are usually a decade off!

Hi,\nI am 54 years old and my body is not in the greatest shape but my face is better than most of my friends.  I am a firm believer that women do too much to their faces.  We wash and cream and makeup our skin to death.  It is constantly being pulled, rubbed, patted, touched, and therefore with all that action plus the fact that women have more fat cells, our faces end up looking wrinkled, sagging and old before our time.  My best advice is to wash your face in the morning, barely touching it, rinse and pat dry and apply a face cream that will absorb into your skin and keep it moist.  That's it.  At night, wash it off and apply cream again.  Once a week I wash my face with a handcloth that is rough to renew the skin, then I apply face cream again and I'm done.  When sleeping at night, sleep on your back, not on the side of your face.  Put an extra pillow under your knees to keep them in a bent position so they don't stiffen up nor apply pressure on the back.  Also, your neck was meant to hold up your head.  So quit using your hands!!  If you constantly lean your chin/cheek on your hands, you are pulling your skin and stretching it.  Sit up straight and hold your head up.  If you do get tired, lean the edge of your scalp against your hand, but don't touch your face!  Wish you the best.

it could be your genetic make up....accept yourself as you are...it's the inside that counts the most....beauty & good looks change over time...some of the most gorgegous ladies are ugly now they are old...the handsomest guys can look like a prune & go bald at 50....\n when you feel good about yourslef,have a kind heart and laugh at life people never even notice the outside....

Yes, It is due to activation of oncogenes or external carcinogenic agents. These genes are present in all higher animals. Development of cancer is one of the related sign of aging also.

you cannot reverse aging. You might be able to reduce the problem of getting wrinkles. You might be able to do things that will not make you feel as old, like sore muscles and aching bones; but you cannot reverse aging. That is impossible. Time goes on, and we get older every day.

Well, hair is part of the skin, as you get old, your skin shows, rigtht, no wonder why the hair does too.
