The emergence of fine lines and wrinkles results from the deterioration of collagen and elastin within the skin. Collagen and elastin provide the support structure for skin, helping to keep it smooth and resilient. With the gradual breakdown of these fibres, the skin loses its inherent strength and elasticity, paving the way for the development of fine lines and wrinkles.

Smiling itself doesn't directly cause fine lines however, repetitive facial movements can contribute to the development of expression lines over time. When you make facial expressions, the underlying muscles contract, and over time, this can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles, especially in areas where the skin is thinner.

While it may be challenging to completely eliminate fine lines, certain skincare and cosmetic procedures can help reduce their appearance. Following our suggested routine will set you on the right track to minimising existing fine lines and preventing future ones.

Hydrating and strengthening ingredients help reduce the appearance of fine lines. Hyaluronic acid, Vitamin C, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Retinol all contribute to the reduction of lines and increase in collagen.
