The Stories Wrinkles Tell
Author steve
Very few people are excited about wrinkles. After all who wants to look old and ugly? In a society that’s obsessed with beauty, wrinkles are perceived as unnatural or even abnormal. In an age that puts a premium on one’s physical appearance, the presence of wrinkles can be irritating or annoying to some.
Though it’s common knowledge that genetics, sun exposure, and a few bad habits play a great deal in how we develop wrinkles, our forefathers saw them in a different light. For them, the onset of wrinkles was not merely age-related but meant something else. For instance, early man believed that the number of vertical wrinkles in the forehead indicated the number of husbands a woman would have. Horizontal wrinkles, on the other hand, showed the number of children!
In The Encyclopedia of Superstitions, Folklore, and the Occult Sciences of the World, Cora Linn Daniels said intelligent people usually have wrinkles in the forehead that are parallel with the eyebrows. A forehead without any wrinkles, on the other hand, signifies a calm disposition, an easy life, few troubles, and excellent eyes.

Beer: the Secret of Beautiful Skin

Want to look good on your first date? Give your partner a couple of beers and your wrinkles and other skin imperfections will magically disappear!
That’s the advice of researchers in Scotland who found that the “beer goggles” effect may have a scientific basis. In that case, beauty is indeed in the eye of the beer holder.
The “beer goggles” effect refers to the infamous phenomenon wherein members of the opposite sex appear to be more attractive when more beer is consumed. At first, scientists thought this was simply the result of too much alcohol that distorts one’s perception of reality. However, researchers found the precise manner in which beer affects the brain.
At the International Congress on Behavioral Medicine in Finland, Professor Barry Jones from Glasgow University’s psychology department and his fellow academic Ben Jones from St. Andrews University said alcohol stimulates the nucleus accumbens, the part of the brain that judges facial attractiveness. Men and women who consumed moderate amounts of alcohol often found the faces of the opposite sex 25 percent more attractive than their sober counterparts.
Women Worried About Wrinkles

Many British women are unhappy with their appearance and are worried about wrinkles and other skin problems even though their partners say they look fine.
This was revealed by a study that looked into the attitudes of over 1,000 women aged 35 to 55. The nationwide survey found that half of the subjects weren’t pleased with their looks despite the fact that they were loved by their boyfriends and husbands. Eighty percent said they took great pains to look good even if they weren’t pressured by their partners.
“Almost 62 percent of women polled said that a change in physical appearance – such as losing weight or altering their face or upper or lower body – would lift their spirits. Ten percent said being more confident would do the trick, while seven percent preferred being healthy,” reported Emma Morton in The Sun Woman Online.
Ironically, while the majority of the respondents were dissatisfied with their appearance, 80 percent said they would not have plastic surgery. Still, experts say the survey shows that a lot of women have unrealistic goals with regards to beauty – the reason why they can’t find happiness and contentment.

Every year, Americans spend over $12 billion on cosmetics and another $20 billion on plastic surgery to hide the signs of aging. But the effects of most of these expensive creams and procedures are temporary and many have undesirable side effects.
While nothing can stop wrinkles that are a normal part of aging, you can slow down the process by following these simple measures. To preserve your youthful glow without emptying your wallet, here are some tips courtesy of Dermaxin, the safe and inexpensive alternative to costly cosmetic procedures:
Avoid the sun. The Earth’s depleted ozone layer allows more of the sun’s harmful rays to destroy your skin. If you don’t want to look like a shriveled raisin or prune, stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. This is the time when 95 percent of the sun’s wrinkling rays reach the Earth. Avoid reflective surfaces like water, snow, sand, concrete, and other light-colored areas that intensify the sun’s rays.

“Jewelry takes people’s minds off your wrinkles,” said the late Norwegian Olympic figure skater Sonja Henie. Unfortunately for the unlucky ones who can’t afford to buy expensive jewelry, wrinkles will always remain visible and be a constant reminder of how old a person really is. While some people may be proud of them since they signify age and supposedly wisdom, the rest of womanhood frowns on the idea of having wrinkles and will do everything it can to hide them.
The bad news is that everyone will get wrinkles sooner or later since they are a natural part of the aging process. The good news is you can do something about it. Although wrinkles are inherited, you can prevent them from appearing at an early age. How? Here are some quick tips from Dermaxin, a clinical breakthrough in anti-aging skin care research that helps revitalize your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by as much as 45 percent:
Stay out the sun. The sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays can wreak havoc on your skin by giving you plenty of wrinkles. To minimize this, avoid prolonged, direct exposure to sunlight and don’t go out between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. – the time when UV rays are strongest. If you must go out during that time, wear protective clothing and a hat. And don’t forget to use a good sunscreen.

“If God had given women wrinkles, he could at least have put them on the soles of her feet,” wrote French author Ninon de L’Enclos. These words echo the sentiments of millions of women (and some men) worldwide who hate wrinkles and will do anything to hide them.
Sadly, wrinkles are difficult to hide mainly because they’re very visible on the face. This had led lots of women to rush to their favorite department store, drugstore or website to get the perfect “face-lift” offered by many anti-wrinkle products. But do these products really work and deliver what they promise or are they just a waste of money?
Experts said the ingredients found in most over-the-counter products haven’t undergone rigorous scientific testing for safety and effectiveness and some may even harm your skin. However, some products may actually help you and provide slight to modest improvement depending on their active ingredient.
