Wrinkles are basically, just a fold of the skin. There are a number of factors responsible for it; internal and external both; including the natural aging process, sun exposure and poor hydration, among others.
Collagen is an important structural protein of our skin, among other tissues. It not only gives our cells external structure, but also grants our skin elasticity and strength. Our natural aging process is accompanied by degradation of collagen fibers; which then leads to loss of elasticity and appearance of wrinkles.
Our body produces free radicals that further tend to damage healthy protein and tissues, including collagen; which is another factor that accelerates wrinkling. Moreover, the drier the skin is; the earlier it tends to lose elasticity; and wrinkle.
