I Am 40 And Noticed Skin Wrinkling On My Arms And Legs. Is There Anything I Can Do To Get Rid Of This?
(Last Updated: Jul 6, 2006)
Wrinkling of skin is a common problem faced by a large number of people who are past their prime. As you grow older, the skin that covers the body tends to lose its elasticity and the skin becomes loose, giving a wrinkled appearance. This, however, is not a life threatening situation and need not cause too much worry. Wrinkled skin on arms tends to hang loose and give the fingers and elbow joint an extremely wrinkled look. Eating healthy foods and keeping the skin hydrated as often as possible will replenish it and give it a lively look. In the case of a person who had a large frame and has suddenly lost a lot of weight, the wrinkled skin tends to form folds in a number of areas.
The folds of skin should be kept clean at all times in order to avoid any bacterial infection of the skin. Wrinkled skin on legs and the rest of the body can be made to look better through the consumption of fruits such as bananas which contain vital nutrients and essential vitamins. Knowing how to tighten skin that hangs loose on your body is an essential part of looking younger than you actually are. Stress, pollution and over exposure to the sun are some of the other main causes of wrinkling of skin.

Why does my daughters skin get wrinkled after she remains in water for a longer time?
Wrinkling of skin is a natural process that is experienced by every person at some point or the other. There are a number of causes for the wrinkling of skin, exposure to the sun and pollution that affects the skin, being the most common of them all. The sebaceous glands in the skin provide sebum, an oily substance that keeps the skin from wrinkling. After spending long hours in a swimming pool, or in a bathtub, the sebum produced by the sebaceous glands tends to get washed away, leaving your skin exposed to dryness and causing it to wrinkle.
In order to prevent wrinkles, home remedies, such as the consumption of fruit that provide enough fluid for the body to remain hydrated, are well recommended. Staying out of the sun and drinking plenty of water, while keeping your stress levels low, are other effective ways to get rid of sagging skin. One of the best known home cures for sagging skin involves the application of a paste that contains yogurt, sliced cucumber and aloe vera gel that hydrates and replenishes the skin, leaving it soft and feeling fresh. Drinking plenty of water and fluids is also recommended to keep your skin from wrinkling.
