Wrinkle is a ridge or crease of a surface. Wrinkles can signify wisdom, most people nowadays would rather not have them. Wrinkles are the thin, creased, and sagging skin that is especially noticeable on the face, neck, and hands. It usually refers to folds on fabric or clothes, or on the skin of an organism; the folds are generally random and do not exhibit any repeating pattern. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkles are just about on a par with death and taxes when it comes to inevitability but, even if you can't actually prevent them, there are things you can do to delay the onset of wrinkles.
