Wrinkles
What are wrinkles?

Wrinkles are formed when the skin loses its protective capacity and becomes susceptible to damage. The skin becomes thin, less elastic and dry due to wrinkles. They appear as accentuated ridges or folds and are predominantly a result of facial expressions. Both the layers of the skin the dermis and the epidermis form wrinkle due the skin’s inability to hold moisture. As a result, the elastin and the collagen in the skin breakdown leading to the formation of fine facial lines or wrinkles.
