You may have heard it said that wrinkles make men look wise and distinguished, and make women just look old. As today's baby boomers approach middle age, cosmetic sales are soaring. The most prevalent attitude toward aging today is, "age gracefully by fighting it every step of the way." Most bathroom cabinets are chuck full of jars, potions, elixirs and chemical peels designed to fool Mother Nature. Alas, wrinkles usually always prevail.

After the age of 25, the cells in the dermis begin to die off and become smaller. Skin begins to lose some of its elasticity and resiliency. Any shrinkage of tissue in the dermis causes a wrinkle in the epidermis. The dermis becomes stiffer as we age. The more the dermis is stretched, the greater the risk for developing wrinkles. Because the face and its muscles are so active, it can be the site of significant wrinkling.

Since many people worry about their faces there are exercises you can concentrate on for just your face. There are 10 groups of muscles that make up the face and scalp, appearing on the forehead, in the cheeks, around the eyes, within the chin, around the lips, and finally in the neck.
