Understanding Fine Lines

It is inevitable and natural for your skin to lose fullness and become thinner over time. Fine lines are small and shallow lines that can appear on all areas of the face, hands and body often where there is movement of muscles like facial expressions.

What causes fine lines

They are caused by a weakness in the skin’s foundation and are a result of the inability of the skin to bounce back to its original shape and position which in turn causes a shallow fold.

These little skin creases often occur directly on the area of movement however some can sit adjacent to the area too. It’s important to remember fine lines can appear on any part of the skin; for example you might notice small lines on your cheek that become more prominent when exposed to external factors such as sunlight.

Fine lines are very mild and quite superficial and are often associated with the earliest signs of ageing.
