Wrinkles

Wrinkles are fine lines and creases that form in the skin, most commonly due to aging. They can appear on the face, neck, hands, and other sun-exposed areas and are a natural part of getting older.

Understanding Wrinkles?

Wrinkles develop as the skin loses elasticity, moisture, and fat over time. Environmental factors and lifestyle choices can speed up the appearance of wrinkles, making them deeper and more noticeable.
