According to a new study, scientists claim that water is the best anti-ageing weapon that can keep wrinkles at bay. About 1500 genes present in our body determine the duration until which people can maintain their youthful looks. Although there are several ways in which skin ages, each of which are controlled by different sets of genes, the most important aspect among them is the manner in which skin gathers and retains water.

Normally 700 genes in our body help in hydration of the skin, and with age, they become less active and less able to retain water. As the cells get older, they lead to wrinkles.

Scientists at Procter & Gamble carried out the study to find out why few people age faster than the others. Jay Tiesmann, the lead scientist in the global biotechnology division, Procter & Gamble, said that other factors that affect skin ageing are the levels of collagen, the molecule responsible for giving skin its structure and strength. The genes that degrade this process make it get overactive in old age, which causes wrinkles. About 40 genes have been found to accelerate this breakdown.
