    Default Stretching skin leads to.....

    Just wondering, after years of stretching the skin on our faces, will we all not end up with prematurely sagging faces?!!?!?

    Aha!, Now I know where all those wrinkles are coming from. Or could it have something to do with the silver hair and golden years syndrome which seems to have befallen me?

    IME by the time you're that age wrinkles ain't an issue.
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I seriously doubt it would lead to premature sagging skin. After all, most of us end up taking better care of our skin when we start straight shaving in order to obtain that perfect shave. In turn, better skin care, such as exfoliating, better cleaning, and moisturizing, can actually prolong the elasticity of your skin.

    I agree with most comments here, I do belive that stretching the skin is good for it, kind of like a face massage, keeping both skin and muscles in the face in better health then non skin stretching would.

    I once read an article about kissing that claimed that persons who kisses much looked younger and healthier in the face, och that the reason for this was that kissing activated a lot of the muscles in the face, increasing blood circulation and so on. (Oh dear, that's why I'm looking so old......)

    Of course, kissing probably makes peolpe happy and content as well, so that is also one variable in the health equation.

    remember that episode in the older Star trek Movie where they put the admiral in the skin stretching machine? You know what happened to him so beware.

    This must be one of em! I remember back in the early 60's, my grandfather told me there was three things that were going to happen to me when I got old. And I'll be darned if I can remember the other two are.

    I sure hope stretching the skin has caused this look. It's either that or perhaps maybe gravity is increasing and we just can't tell it.
