Skin wrinkles appear mostly due to aging or the aging process of the skin, they are mostly skin marks that make permanent a gesture or facial expresion, for example if you squint a lot, those temporary wrinkles in your face will start becomenig more and more permanent until they become skin wrinkles, this can also happen on your lips and forehead as well as your eyes.

There some other things that can cause skin wrinkles or make them more apparent like smoking, too much sun exposure, little hydration and many other factors that affect your skin and can cause your skin to wrinkle.

The main factor that makes your skin elastic and able to move and come back to its original state is called collagen, the collagen cells on your body are normally hard at work to make your skin elastic and young, but with age (as well as with gravity effect) these collagen cells start weaking and are not able to fully restore your skin to its original location, this is when skin wrinkles start appearing, with age collagen cells start decaying and breaking.

Skin wrinkles in western countries are seen more and more as a non beautiful effect in a persons face, so there is a huge industry out there trying to find cures and ways to stop skin wrinkles from appearing or make them less noticeable, anything from creams, to make up to more professional treatments like plastic surgery, botox injections and many many more, this products are normally sold in any pharmacy or beauty salon and are normally bought by women who are more interested in their looks.

In some eastern cultures though skin wrinkles are seen as a sign of age and wisdom and are not looked down upon, that is why the skin wrinkle industry has developed more on western cultures like the United States and Europe.

According to wikipedia a wrinkle is: A wrinkle is a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.^[1] With prolonged water exposure, the outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. The skin doesn’t expand evenly, however, causing it to wrinkle. Depletion of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin.^[2] Cortisol causes degradation of skin collagen.^[3]

Treatments and products (including anti-aging creams) promising to reduce, remove, or prevent age-related wrinkles are big business in many industrialized countries. Despite great demand, most such products and treatments have not been proven to give lasting or major positive effects. Stretching the skin via a face lift will remove some wrinkles.

In humans, collagen is very stable. Unlike some cells of the body that are constantly dying and replicating, collagen cells will not be replaced for around 30 years. As a result. these old collagen cells breakdown and according to research, it is this fragmented collagen that causes wrinkles. Fragmented collagen also leads to skin tearing and bruising easier than it otherwise would.^{[citation needed]}
