I've always heard to never squint because it causes skin damage. is there any truth behind this?

Not directly: Squinting will not cause wrinkles or skin damage no matter how much you do it - regardless of what you have read online. However, if you are squinting a lot, you are probably out in the sun -- and sunlight will cause sun damage. So squint all you want, but apply a good broad-spectrum sunscreen anytime you are going to be out in the sun.
