SKIN & CARE

Wrinkles & Fine Lines

A natural part of aging, wrinkles refer to the lines and creases that form in the skin. They are most prominent on sun-exposed skin such as the face, neck and hands.

There are 2 main forms of wrinkles – static and dynamic.

Static wrinkles are formed as part of the natural aging process and remains on the face even after relaxation of facial muscles and tend to deepen with age

Dynamic wrinkles are formed by reproducing facial movements like squinting and furrowing of brows and fades as quickly as they appear
