New research has revealed that the lines formed when you laugh can very quickly become permanent wrinkles on your face. 

The prime time for developing these deep set wrinkles is between your 20′s and 40′s, with sufferers of dry skin more susceptible to developing these lines at a quicker rate than most. 

The study, photographed 120 girls with a neutral expression and again with beaming smiles. Eight years later the same women and girls had their photos taken. 

The results revealed that creases which had only been evident when the subjects had smiled at the beginning of the study, had turned into permanent and deep lines by the end. 

It was also apparent that the more laughter lines a women had when she let out a chuckle, the more full-time wrinkles she had eight years later. 

Skin that was dry or sun damaged was shown to wrinkle twice as quickly as those with dewy complexions. 

It is hoped the new research will help women understand the importance of taking care of their skin and in the process women can learn how to tackle the signs of ageing. There are many preventative ageing methods, whether in a clinic or even at home. 

These treatments can be used to target prominent wrinkles but also used to help reduce any lines that have yet to set in. Experts advise women to smile in front of the mirror and where they notice creases on their face add an extra dollop of moisturiser.
