A scientific study about gender and facial wrinkling was published in the most recent issue of Aesthetic Surgery Journal. Conducted by surgeons in Utrecht, it reveals several contributing factors that cause women to exhibit periorbital wrinkles earlier and more severely than men.
- If you’re a woman, the skin surrounding your mouth has fewer sweat and sebaceous glands, which are important for hydration and skin fullness.
- You also may have fewer blood vessels in the same area.
- The muscular fibers surrounding the orifice of a woman’s mouth are also more closely attached, which causes an “inward traction” and therefore, deeper wrinkles.
