      Hi 268,

      If you frown too much you will get wrinkles;)

      You will also get them as part of the natural aging process because the elastic fibres that help the skin to re-coil, after it has been miss-shaped, degenerate and the the skin loses its elastic properties.

      Dying happens for lots of different reasons (usually after wrinkles happen). If we didn’t eventually die there might not be space for new and exciting life to happen.
