FF Miles and Wrinkles
From time to time I hear folks (sometimes FAs) mention that frequent flying can cause increased wrinkles--of course PremEx who is a Million Miler+ flyer and lives in SoCal where the sun always shines, clearly belies this rumor. 
Does anybody have any solid sources on information on this subject?
Footnote to Moderators: This subject is clearly very much a miles related subject and may be the most important determining factor in my future Frequent Flyer planning and plotting.

If it doesn't cause wrinkles, it causes blemishes - don't you think it ought to be a law of nature that doesn't have to endure both blemishes and wrinkles in the same time frame?

But what about wrinkles, Pam. I want to know about wrinkles.
P.S., The real tragedy is when blemishes and wrinkles exist at the same time on the same face.
Bah!

Here are some more tips and some talk on the wrinkles issue. The relevant stuff is about halfway down under How do we prevent dehydration when we fly. Mentions a Boeing report that says, "In-flight cabin humidities gradually fall on long-distance, high-altitude flights to well below 10%, in many cases approaching 1%." Wow.

Punki: I think if you sail as as much as you fly - or just live in a wet, foggy place - it all balances out.
