Does running give you wrinkles/make your face sag?

Have heard that it does. And I suppose thinking about it - it would be logical to assume that it does. Need to shift some weight and was thinking about running as does burn lots of calories fast, but as an -ahem - mature lady…. I was wondering whether it would be a bad idea from the wrinkle/sagging POV.

Have you googled it? And do you have wrinkles already? I think wrinkles become more prominent as you lose weight from your face, even in younger women (around say 30yo). I had a few appear last time I lost a fair bit of weight, and I'm.not generally prone to wrinkles. I lost the weight by running mostly, but I think they would have appeared regardless of how I lost it.

Smoking is one of the biggest contributors to facial wrinkles, I've heard. That and sun exposure! Balance it out in your mind - the appearance of wrinkles can be improved with lotions and potions, but there is no equally easy fix for being overweight. I'd trade a few face wrinkles for being overweight, but everyone's different! Smile
