FineLine & Wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles are a normal part of ageing. As we get older, the skin produces less collagen and elastin (the proteins that keep skin firm and springy), so it gradually becomes thinner, drier, and less elastic. Over time, this leads to visible creases and a loss of definition.

Fine lines usually appear first around areas that move the most, such as:

• Around the eyes (crow’s feet)
• Across the forehead
• Between the brows
• From the nose to the corners of the mouth (smile lines)

As the skin and supporting tissues change, the jawline can soften and the face may look less tight and defined.

What Causes Fine Lines & Wrinkles?

Wrinkles don’t come from one thing. They build up from a mix of natural ageing and everyday stressors, including:

Natural Ageing

Collagen and elastin decline with age, and skin retains less moisture, making lines more likely to form and stay.

Sun Damage (UV Exposure)

UV rays break down collagen and elastin, accelerating skin ageing and contributing to both fine lines and deeper wrinkles.

Smoking

Smoking reduces blood flow and oxygen to the skin and speeds up collagen breakdown, which can cause earlier and more pronounced wrinkles.

Repeated Facial Expressions

Smiling, frowning, and raising your eyebrows create “expression lines.” Over time, these can become more noticeable and remain even when your face is relaxed.

Lifestyle & Environment

Pollution, stress, poor skincare habits, and lack of protection (especially SPF) can all contribute to early skin ageing.
