Wrinkles may be a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you can’t take steps to slow their development and keep your skin looking youthful. With the right skincare routine, it’s possible to visibly smooth, plump, and target those pesky lines. Gradient Care’s scientifically-backed skincare products—including serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen—offer effective solutions to tackle all types of wrinkles. In this blog, we’ll dive into:
- The difference between dynamic and static wrinkles
- The five major types of wrinkles
- How to address wrinkles caused by glycation
- How Gradient Care can help target wrinkles
Dynamic vs. Static Wrinkles
Wrinkles fall into two main categories: dynamic and static.
- Dynamic wrinkles appear when you make facial expressions like smiling, frowning, or squinting.
- Static wrinkles, on the other hand, are the lines that stay visible even when your face is at rest. Over time, dynamic wrinkles can settle into static wrinkles, becoming more prominent without proper care.
The Five Major Types of Wrinkles
Here’s a breakdown of the five most common wrinkle types and what causes them:
- Forehead Wrinkles Horizontal lines across your forehead often start as dynamic wrinkles caused by raising your eyebrows. Sun exposure, stress, and natural aging can deepen these into static wrinkles over time.
- Glabellar Wrinkles (The “11s”) These vertical lines between your eyebrows result from repetitive frowning. They can progress from fleeting expression lines to static wrinkles, giving the face a stressed or stern appearance.
- Crow’s Feet These fine lines radiate from the outer corners of the eyes and are most visible when you smile or squint. Because the skin in this area is thin, crow’s feet are prone to becoming etched over time.
- Nasolabial Folds Often called laugh lines, these are the folds that run from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. While they’re natural, they deepen with age due to volume loss and the effects of gravity.
- Marionette Lines These vertical lines extend from the corners of your lips down to your chin. They’re often caused by repetitive facial movements, reduced skin elasticity, and habits like smoking, which accelerate their development.
How Glycation Causes Wrinkles
Beneath the skin’s surface, a process called glycation contributes to all five wrinkle types. Glycation occurs when excess sugar binds to collagen and elastin, forming advanced glycation end products (A.G.E.s). These A.G.E.s weaken collagen and elastin, making skin less resilient and more prone to wrinkles and sagging. This process is particularly evident in areas with thinner skin, like around the eyes.
