Have wrinkles on the face? How to get rid of wrinkles naturally?
Facial expression muscles contract to make facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, and squinting and so on. At the same time, they fold the skin and create wrinkles on the skin. These lines will disappear when the muscles are relaxed. If these muscles are constantly contracting, the wrinkles will stay. With age, skin cells change as well to contribute to the wrinkle formation. For example, with age the skin loses its ability to hold on moisture, makes less oil and has less ability to repair any damage. This all contributes to the wrinkle formation in some stages.
