Fine lines and wrinkles: Differences, causes, and types

Fine lines and wrinkles are one of the major skin problems almost 90% of women are dealing with all around the world. Whenever we hear the term, the first thing that comes to our mind is the aging of the skin which causes the epidermis to wrinkles and fine lines to appear.

However, almost all of you out there wouldn’t be able to answer what has caused the early aging signs to appear on your skin. In fact, hardly any person knows that wrinkles and fine lines can be divided into different types.

The knowledge about wrinkled skin is very limited. That’s why most women fail to recognize the early symptoms and get the treatment at the proper time. Hence, we have provided here some of the hidden truths about fine lines, wrinkles, and early aging.

What is the difference between fine lines and wrinkles?

Whenever you are making any expression on your face, you are actually contracting your muscles. For example, when you are frowning, you can see creases appearing on the forehead which are known frown lines. As soon as your face return back to the neutral position, the muscles relax, making the lines disappear.

Similarly, when you smile widely, your lips and the surrounding muscles are stretched wide. These causes lines to appear in curved ways around the lips which will disappear as soon as your face returns back to the original position.

Fine lines appear when the same muscle contracts and relaxes repeated times continuously. These are almost known as baby wrinkles which deepen with time and become more prominent and visible.

What causes the early aging of the skin? There are several reasons for which early aging signs appear on the skin. In this section, we will describe why one can get these wrinkles and fine lines before age.

  1. Unexpectedly, sleeping in an awkward position can stretch your facial muscles, which develops fine lines as time progresses.
  2. Lack of proper diet increases the free radicals in the blood. These help in the oxidation process which causes the fine lines to appear on the skin at an early age.
  3. An excess stressful lifestyle is also another major reason for the fine lines to appear. In fact, these lines turn into wrinkles faster than one can imagine due to stress and depression.
  4. If your face is exposed to UV rays for long times, it will cause the collagen fibres to degenerate. As a result, it will result in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face.
  5. Studies have shown that dry skin is a huge reason behind the formation of fine lines on the skin, especially when your skin can’t produce collagen fibres properly.

What are the different types of wrinkles on the face? 

On your entire face, you will have seven different types of wrinkles which are categorized based on the locations. These are: 

  • Worry lines in the form of “11” between the brows

  • Forehead creases in form of horizontal lines on the forehead

  • Bunny lines stretching between the nose’s edge and eyes

  • Laugh lines occurring around the lips on the upper position

  • Marionette lines gracing the chin in a vertical way

  • Crow’s feet lines radiating outwards from the eyes’ corners

  • Lip lines forming vertical fine lines around the entire lip section

Conclusion
