If i dont moisturize my skin will i get wrinkles (its not dry, but i dont use lotion)?

Not necessarily.


Dry skin does not cause wrinkles. Hereditary and environmental factors do. Lack of sufficient collagen production makes you lose skin elasticity, which makes skin less supple and prone to wrinkling. In other words, whether or not you have a family history of premature aging, and your lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking, how you eat, and how much sleep you get.....determine if you will become a prune. You CAN use moisturizers with collagen and elastin in them to SLOW DOWN the aging process.If i dont moisturize my skin will i get wrinkles (its not dry, but i dont use lotion)?
You need to moisturize every day - even if its not dry right now, the environment and natural physical aging will cause wrinkles eventually.


If you don't moisturize now, you'll start seeing wrinkles in your late 20's.


Moisturize every day now and you may not see them until your 40's (I'm 50 and am just starting to see wrinkles around my eyes and forehead, and I have moisturized every day since I was 20).If i dont moisturize my skin will i get wrinkles (its not dry, but i dont use lotion)?
Skin wrinkles as we age. Period. The best thing to do is avoid the sun, and if you do go out in the sun, use sun block. Drink plenty of water and eat a nutritious diet. Smoking and drinking make wrinkles too. It is less about moisturized and more about these things.
I agree totally with Linda and Dragonlady....the sun and UV rays actually can contribute to up to 85% of wrinkles....use sunblock, or at least sunscreen everyday-yes, everyday, as well as moisturize (it can't hurt! LoL) and you should slow the process considerably.


Also, don't smoke...this is really bad for your skin...as are drugs, but thats just a ';duh!'; LoL


Best wishes!
Yes. As we get older our skin loses it's moisture causing it to sag. The older you get the more you need to replenish that moisture to prevent it from sagging as much.
No. actually lotion won't really do much to prevent wrinkles. it's natural process where your body lags behind in effectiveness to make good collagen (proteins that make up skin and other structures.) lotion may help just a tiny bit so your skin doens't look crackled and since that kind of severe dryness can speed up the process of skin aging for such vulnerable individuals.
everyone gets wrinkles as they age =some more then others


if you take proper care of your skin,you won't have as many wrinkles when you are older
