As aging progresses, wrinkling is due to a few processes, most notably the loss of collagen and elastin in the skin, resulting in a lower tensile strength. This is made worse my lack of moisture in the skin, exposure and especially sunburn, stress, smoking.

Skin wrinkles due to the natural aging process, which causes a decrease in collagen and elastin production in the skin. Factors that accelerate this process include sun exposure, smoking, repetitive facial expressions, and dietary habits high in sugar and processed foods. These factors can lead to premature skin aging and increased wrinkle formation.


Is human skin waterproof?

Human skin is somewhat waterproof due to the presence of oils and fats on its surface that help repel water. However, prolonged exposure to water can lead to wrinkling and water absorption through the skin. The outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum, provides a protective barrier against water loss from the body.
