What causes wrinkles?...
According to doctors at Duke University, gravity doesn’t cause facial wrinkles. The changing bone structure of our face is responsible. Reportedly as we age, our face bones continue to grow. The growth causes the bones to lose support of the overlying soft tissues, skin and muscle. The process is more pronounced in women than men, the Duke doctors say. We see it like French women – we’re growing more beautiful!
