However, your face tends to wrinkle more due to the exposure to the sun and other natural elements than the skin on your lower back.
"Covering up" the wrinkle prone areas on your body are your best defense against wrinkles. Fortunately, with technological advances in skin care, you don't have to cover your face with a mask to protect it. These new wrinkle remedies do it for you.
In your 20s- Wrinkles are just beginning to appear. Protecting your skin with sun block is your best sing of defense. At your age, skin can still repair itself, and wearing sunscreen regularly will prevent further damage and help the skin regenerate itself. Products containing alpha-hydroxyl acid will lightly exfoliate the dulling layer of dead skin and give it a smoother, clearer look.
In your 30s- Wrinkles and lines start to creep up and form without you even knowing it till it's too late. Your next line of defense is products containing retinal, which is designed to plump up fine lines and stimulate skin to produce collagen. If your skin is starting to show signs of dryness, moisturizer will hydrate it and make wrinkles look less apparent but won't make them disappear.
Late 30s and early 40s- now is the time to see your dermatologist like you see your regular doctor every 4-6 months. They can prescribe a skincare regimen to help keep wrinkles at bay. Your Dermatologist may also offer chemical peels. Peels come in varying strengths, depending on the severity of your wrinkles and age spots. Light, glycol acid-based peels, done once a month over the course of a few months, will help smooth some of the fine lines. Unfortunately, they have little to know effect on deep-set wrinkles. There are deeper peels that can be used such as TCA (trichloracetic acid) peels which are a bit stronger. They are used at varying concentrations and leave skin red and sensitive for a few days. Laser peels are a newer weapon that only require a single treatment but are reserved for very severe wrinkling. Depending on the type of damage you wish to get rid of, this could be an alternative to a facelift and should be performed only by a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has substantial experience using lasers.
Wrinkles are one of the most common problems women face as we age. The skin's aging process has more to do with photo aging (due to sun exposure) than chronological aging. The skin on your lower back or buttocks and the skin on your face are chronologically the same age.

Wrinkles in Time - Turn the Clock Against Aging by Craig Fischer
There are many treatments now that reduce the appearance of wrinkles, or even erase them altogether. The advancements in medical science and in cosmetic science have provided us with a wide range of treatments that can help us turn back the clock and help us look younger. While we may not have found the fountain of youth, we have found many products that can help us look younger than we looked the year before. Some treatments can even help us look five or ten years younger. All of this can be accomplished by removing wrinkles, the signs of aging, from the face.
There are many different ways to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and different ways even to erase the wrinkles entirely. Face creams with chemicals and even natural remedies can help the skin regenerate itself and pull tighter to reduce the look of wrinkles. There are injections that help paralyze the muscles under the skin, making it impossible for furrows to be created. And there are lasers that can remove the appearance of even the smallest of lines and wrinkles. All of these advancements make it possible for us to look younger by reducing how our wrinkles look.
Face creams were some of the first things that were created to help improve the appearance of the face. Back in Victorian times a face cream called Gowland was used to reduce the look of freckles and help the face remain beautiful. Today we have all sorts of face treatments designed to help the skin and get rid of wrinkles and fine lines. Most major cosmetic companies, like Oil of Olay, Avon, Mary Kay, L’Oreal, and others make these creams. Some of them contain parelastin, which helps the face tighten and can reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Toners, to ensure that the skin does not become loose enough to wrinkle are also used. Even natural remedies, like mashed up bananas as a face mask, can be used to reduce the look of wrinkles, helping you look younger and turn back the clock on aging.
Botox injections offer faster effects and more dramatic results than face creams and toners. In about a week after a Botox treatment, it is quite possible for nearly all of your lines, even deep furrows in your brow, to be almost completely erased. And the effects can last for four to six months. This is something that few creams can accomplish. Botox makes this possible by interfering with messages from the neurological system that tell muscles to contract. Basically, this is a toxin that effectively causes muscle paralysis in the face. This means that the skin over the face is smoothed out and then remains smooth, and can help you actually look five or even ten years younger, depending on how many wrinkles time placed there in the first place.
Another way to get rid of wrinkles without having to inject a known toxin into your face is to have the wrinkles removed by laser. A newly developed laser, known as the Fraxel laser, can help erase wrinkles in a procedure that is every bit as non-invasive as a Botox injection. The Fraxel laser works by using a great deal of concentrated heat to burn off skin cells around the wrinkles. This does cause some minimal damage, but rarely to the area outside the wrinkles. And then, as the damage heals over with fresh, younger skin, the wrinkles slowly disappear. It can take a couple of treatments for it to take effect, but it is still a rather effective treatment for getting rid of wrinkles.
Additionally, the Fraxel laser can remove other signs of aging, including age spots and sun spots. This is an advantage that the laser has over creams and Botox. While these other two products can get rid of wrinkles, they cannot get rid of other signs of aging.
No matter what treatment you use, however, it is not permanent. Even plastic surgery is not a permanent solution. The facelift eventually sags, the wrinkles become to deep for the cream, the Botox wears off, the laser has to be used again in a few months to kill the dead skin around newly developed wrinkles. So even though the clock can be turned back on aging, it is not permanent, and the results have to be sought again and again.
