Skin wrinkles are common as a result of aging ,  reoccurring sleeping positions, loss of weight, or as the result of being under water for long periods of time. Age wrinkling in the skin is affected by constant facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.Anderson, Laurence. 2006.
