many.
Some of the common causes of
wrinkles on skin are -

damaging it to an alarming extent.

chemicals and harsh lights can cause wrinkles on skin over a period of time.
Repeated motions such as squinting can cause wrinkles around the eyes. These
are referred to as "crow''s feet". Smiling and frowning can also cause
laugh lines around the mouth or frown lines on the forehead., Drug, use stress,Weight Loss - Rapid weight loss can cause wrinkles as the volume of
the fat cells (which have a cushioning effect) are drastically reduced. This
causes the skin to sag and crease. Loss of Vitamin E - Depletion of this
important vitamin can cause the skin quality to deteriorate.
