What is it?

Creases and fine lines often result from a mix of reasons, with the most prevalent including:

• Aging and Gravity: As we grow older, our skin naturally loses collagen and elastin, resulting in decreased elasticity and the development of wrinkles and lines.
• Facial Movements: Repetitive facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, and squinting, can lead to the formation of wrinkles.
• Sun Damage: Continuous exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can hasten the aging process, leading to premature fine lines and wrinkles. We cannot emphasize enough the importance of incorporating sunscreen into your daily skincare routine!
• Depletion of Fat: With age, we naturally lose facial fat, which can result in skin sagging and the appearance of wrinkles. Rapid weight loss can also contribute, as the skin might not rebound as swiftly as the fat decreases.
