Dermatologist, Dr. Jeanine B. Downie, of the American board of Dermatology recently found out that the genes we inherit are not at all responsible for the fine lines and wrinkles.

Dr. Downie says the reason behind such ageing is external and is caused due to smoking, prolonged sunlight exposure, lack of water in the body and stress.
