According to the beauty experts at Cosmedicine™, "there are many factors
that contribute to the onset of lines and wrinkles. The first is the aging process
itself. With age, skin cells divide slower and skin begins to thin. The network
of Elastin and Collagen fibers, which support the skin's outer layer, begins to
loosen and unravels, resulting in depressions on the skin's surface."

Skin also loses its ability to retain moisture and is slower to repair itself.
Excessive exposure to ultraviolet radiation is another major culprit in the
formation of lines and wrinkles - as are bad habits such as smoking, which
upsets the skin's renewal mechanism.

To reduce the appearance of fine lines from deepening and prevent new
ones from forming, beauty experts advise removing dead skin layers to
regain smoother skin, and keep your skin well-hydrated.
