    wrinkles happen due to the breakdown of the collegen and elastin fibers in the skin. This is the network that gives the skin support. This happens in most cases due to aging (if you are over 18, you are aging), dry skin tends to winkle more than oily skin. Sun exposure and smoking are leading factors in premature aging. So YES, use your sunscreens daily. Look for one that is both a chemical and physical block, one that blocks both uva (aging rays) and uvb (burning rays). I would wear a hat and sunglasses. No squinting for me.

    In no way do I personally believe that the act of running or anyother physical activity leads to the breakdown of those important fibers. It's the sun.
