Is There a Difference Between Fine Lines and Wrinkles?

fine lines and wrinkles

Sometimes learning the basics can help you plan the most effective skin care regimen. The faster and more accurately you identify these issues, the better the results. One  important concept to learn?  Is there a difference between fine lines and wrinkles?

There is no getting around the fact that our skin matures with age. Though we can’t stop our biological clocks, we can delay the appearance of aging with Results-Oriented Clean, Ayurvedic formulas. So..What is the difference between fine lines and wrinkles? Can you prevent them both? What is the right time to begin an advanced anti-aging treatment system for retaining the youthfulness of your skin?

Here at PuraVeda Organics, we can help you get started with your very own personalized, Anti-Aging Skin Care Regimen.

What Are Fine Lines?

Fine lines can be as thin as a thread and are generally quite shallow, and are one of the first signs of an aging skin. These ‘thin’ creases are superficial and are caused by the beginnings of weakness in the skins foundation. They can appear anywhere on the facial skin, however, they are usually more concentrated on the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth, areas of expression, in other words.

The primary causation behind the appearance of fine lines are not just age, but genetics, cumulative sun exposure/damage, as well as other lifestyle and environmental factors.

Fine lines are most noticeable on close inspection, and may start appearing around 25 years of age for Vata (Dry skin) and Pitta (Sensitive skin), and a bit later in Kapha (Oily skin). Engaging in a dedicated minimalist, but effective skin care regimen beginning in your late 20’s or early 30s can help delay the advancement of fine lines so that your skin appears youthful and healthy for years to come. The earlier you start, the better your results!

What Are Wrinkles?

Wrinkles are ‘deeper’ versions of fine lines. When fine lines are left untreated in their early stages, they gradually become more noticeable. With repeated muscle contractions under the skin, created by facial expressions such as laughing, smiling, frowning, or squinting, these fine lines become more deeply-set.

When differentiating fine lines and wrinkles, ‘depth’ is the most important parameter. As per dermatologists, fine lines are usually 1-2 millimeters deep, whereas wrinkles  are usually deeper than 2 millimeters. 

Gradually over time,  your skin loses elasticity & firmness due to a weakening and thinning of the collagen-elastin matrix which is the ‘support scaffolding’ underlying the skin, as well as a loss in moisture levels (net hyaluronic acid content). Deterioration in strength and elasticity make it difficult for the skin to snap back in shape. The skin also loses essential subcutaneous fat and fibroblasts, making your skin begin to sag and loosen as early as late 30’s/early 40’s.

How to Prevent Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Today the marketplace is flooded with both synthetic-based and natural anti-aging products. But which ingredients and/or products, spa treatments, or surgical methods actually work?

While skin (your largest body organ!) constantly repairs itself, it needs more collagen and elastin from outside sources as you age in order to retain it’s youthfulness. Going under the knife might be considered as early as your late 30s, we highly suggest you opt for natural and organic as a first line of defense instead. With diligent daily use, especially when begun at earlier ages, our advanced topical treatments can work as well  as Botox, without the time, expense and painful injections, and delay or spare you from the downtime and expense if more major surgical procedures further down the line.

BioScience Peptide Complex with 10:15 ratio of Argireline and Matrixyl, CoQ10, Hyaluronic Acid, Gotu Kola, and 20+ other natural botanicals can help reverse fine lines and wrinkles, and treats other signs of aging like loss in firmness, dark pigmentation, and sun damage with continuous usage (learn more). This clinically proven formula reduces deep expression lines (wrinkles) as well as fine lines, and also improves your skin’s texture, clarity, and brightness by up to 60% reduction in less than 60 days.

To achieve these sorts of results, it is highly recommended that you use Collagen Boost Serum after the peptide treatment. It is full of scientifically proven effective antioxidant-rich botanicals that rejuvenate and revitalize for younger-looking skin.
