Facial expressions and skin ageing cause more and more facial wrinkles to form as we get older. They are part of natural skin ageing and facial expressions.
However, many people with a tendency to premature facial wrinkles suffer from a prematurely aged appearance and can no longer identify with it.

Special features of facial wrinkles
Essentially, facial wrinkles are influenced by our facial expressions and gravity.
Influence of the sun
Mimic facial wrinkles
Crow’s feet (laugh lines):
These wrinkles can become noticeable at a younger age in the form of pre-ageing if the eye ring muscles are overactive.
Frown lines (glabellar lines):
Frown lines are usually caused by unconsciously stern facial expressions and result in a rather stern look.
Forehead wrinkles:
They are caused by the forehead muscle activity when raising the eyebrows.
Lower eyelid wrinkles:
They are caused by a combination of muscle movements in the lower half of the eye ring muscles and excess skin.
Mouth wrinkles, lip wrinkles, smoker’s wrinkles: They are arranged in a radial pattern around the edge of the lips and are often already clearly visible in smokers in middle age.
Chin wrinkles:
The wrinkles on the chin are caused by the movements of the chin muscle.
Nose wrinkles (bunny lines) These are small wrinkles on the upper side of the nose.
Frequently asked questions about facial wrinkles
Which facial wrinkles are caused by gravity?
Gravitational wrinkles, or gravitational wrinkles for short, are caused by gravity.
The sagging skin and subcutaneous tissue can no longer withstand this, sags and thus wrinkles:
Deep nasolabial folds are usually found in very slim people with loss of fatty tissue in the face (especially on the cheeks).
Marionette lines are also known as corner of the mouth lines and extend downwards from the corner of the mouth.
Transverse folds of the neck are favored by the weight of fat pads below the chin.
What other facial wrinkles can occur?
- Eye wrinkles are a combination of gravitational wrinkles and mimic wrinkles.
- Sleep wrinkles are located on the sleeping side of the face and usually run vertically around the cheeks and temples. They can be avoided by sleeping on your back.
- Fine wrinkles are visible with very dry skin and severe sun damage and at an advanced age. They are often found in the lower eyelid/cheek area, on the chin, neck and décolleté. In extreme cases, these facial wrinkles can cover the entire face.
How can you counteract the formation of facial wrinkles?
The simplest measures to prevent the formation of wrinkles are:
- Avoid the sun and use sun protection creams – Sun worshippers are more likely to develop wrinkles due to UV damage. Of course, this also applies to the solarium.
- Cigarettes should be avoided, as nicotine consumption accelerates the formation of wrinkles enormously.
- Use of creams and cosmetics is recommended.
- Avoid major weight loss in old age. The resulting excess skin favors the formation of facial wrinkles.
- A healthy diet rich in vitamins is not only helpful in preventing wrinkles.
- Endurance sports improve blood circulation in the tissue.
