Lines & Wrinkles

Lines and wrinkles are natural signs of aging that develops as the skin loses its elasticity, hydration, and ability to repair itself over time. They typically appear as fine lines initially and deepen into more pronounced wrinkles with age. These changes are most noticeable on areas exposed to sun, such as the face, neck, hands, and forearms.

Causes of lines and wrinkles may include:

​

1. Aging​

As we age, the skin produces less collagen and elastin - a protein responsible for maintaining skin strength and flexibility. This leads to thinner, less resilient skin that is more prone to creases.

2. Sun Exposure

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun breaks down collagen and elastin in the skin, accelerating aging process.

​

3. Repetitive Facial Expressions

Movements such as smiling, frowning, or squinting create grooves beneath the skin. Over time, as skin elasticity decreases, these grooves become permanent wrinkles.

​

4. Lifestyle Factors

Unhealthy lifestyle such as poor diet, stress, and insufficient hydration can impair skin health and make wrinkles more pronounced.

​

5. Environmental Stressors

Pollution and exposure to toxins can increase oxidative stress on the skin, causing damage that contributes to wrinkles.​
