Posted on November 8, 2007 in Wrinkles and Face

The skin is the largest organ of our body as it covers the entire length and breadth of our body. It also initiates important functions like maintaining the normal body temperature, removing excess fluids from our body and fighting every disease and infection that comes its way. Therefore, the skin needs constant care and attention.

Skin changes are imperative. But age is not the only factor that determines skin changes. Occupational and recreational activities, behavioral choices, and heredity can also influence skin changes.

Stages of skin change and its resulting effects:

The skin has a tendency to produce less collagen over time: This causes the skin to look and feel much thinner and fragile.
Elastin, an important component of the skin breaks down with time: The skin becomes less elastic and wrinkles begin to form.
The barrier function role of the skin also begins to break down with time and age: This leaves the skin vulnerable to infection, cosmetic and medical problems.

Apart from the eyes, the lips are also an important feature that enhances the beauty of our face. However, age and our behavioral patterns compel them to look less attractive too. Always remember that lips by themselves speak volumes. So keep it beautiful and nourished. Here are a few causes that result in lip lines or wrinkles.
