You have the power over your wrinkles, the article proclaims. Only 60 per cent of your skin's aging is genetic, so the rest is up to you. Yes, surely that'll help a lot, not being able to blame someone else. The sun and smoking causes the most damage, no suprise there, really. Actually. It was a pretty badly written article, it didn't say much at all. It reported two or three things from as study, then asked a Swedish doctor about it.
What about those other events, such as the frowning? Wouldn't you get more wrinkles if you frown more? Smile more? If you lay flat on your back and don't make a face your entire life, and drink nothing but water and eat exactly what you're supposed to, at the amounts you're supposed to, from the day you're born, will your skin age differently? Shouldn't the studies actually, rather, investigate how the skin keeps those facial expressions? What carves them into the skin to leave permanent markings. And furthermore, are those something we really want rid of?
I do agree that one should stay out of the sun. Every time you tan it's because your skin reacts to damage. And smoking, well yes, one shouldn't smoke (pick whichever reason you want, people still do it). Alcohol is said to have no effect on the skin at all.
The depressing bit is that as soon as the lines are set in the face you really can't get rid of them. But is it so sad? To carry those laughters, those times you cried, those times you lost your head, all on the map the skin creates?
