Fine Lines & Wrinkles
What Are Fine Lines & Wrinkles?
Fine lines and wrinkles are small creases and folds that develop on the skin, often as part of the natural aging process. They typically appear around the eyes, mouth, and forehead and become more pronounced over time. These lines result from decreased skin elasticity and repeated facial expressions.
What Are the Causes of Fine Lines & Wrinkles?
Fine lines and wrinkles have various causes:
- Aging: Our skin naturally loses elasticity and collagen as we age, forming wrinkles and fine lines.
- Sun Exposure: Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun damage skin cells and break down collagen and elastin fibers, accelerating the aging process and wrinkle formation.
- Smoking: Smoking reduces blood flow to the skin, which diminishes oxygen and nutrient supply, leading to premature skin aging and wrinkles.
- Repeated Facial Expressions: Over time, movements such as smiling, frowning, and squinting cause grooves in the skin that eventually become permanent wrinkles
- Genetics: Inherited traits can affect how quickly and severely wrinkles develop.
- Poor Skincare Habits: Neglecting regular skincare routines, including moisturizing and sun protection, can speed up the formation of wrinkles.
