Wrinkles that develop on areas of the body, such as the arms or thighs, will often look different to the lines that appear on the face. They will often be longer and closer together, giving the skin a crepey, withered appearance. Wrinkled skin is often contributed to by the decrease in tissue density beneath the surface layers. Not only does the middle layer of the skin (dermis) become less volumised, natural deposits of fat and muscle mass can also decline. This can add to the development of wrinkling skin, as well as leading to areas of the body losing their curvaceous characteristics; looking slimmer and less defined. Common places for this to appear includes: the hips, buttocks, thighs and upper arms.

Skin ageing is a continuous process. There are many ways that we can help to maintain the health of the complexion, including the use of a great skincare regime, eating a balanced diet, taking regular exercise and drinking plenty of water. This helps to ensure the skin is well nourished, hydrated and protected so it continues to function efficiently. However, a range of factors can accelerate skin ageing, causing these common concerns to appear prematurely, including: smoking, alcohol, sun exposure and air pollution.
