Wrinkles are a natural part of ageing and often develop gradually over time. They can be influenced by both internal changes in the skin and external lifestyle or environmental factors. One of the most common contributors is repeated facial movement. Expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting create dynamic creases in the skin. As we age, these lines can become more permanent, appearing even when the face is at rest.
The skin itself also changes with age. Collagen and elastin production slows down, leading to reduced firmness and elasticity. Natural oil production decreases, making skin drier and more fragile. These biological shifts, combined with repeated muscle movement, can cause wrinkles to become more visible and longer lasting.
External influences, such as sun exposure, smoking, or inadequate hydration, may further accelerate this process.
