Wrinkles around the mouth.

Wrinkles appear when our skin loses collagen, a skin protein, the invisible supporting network that keeps the skin firm, youthful, and full of liveliness. Collagen losses are due to age, but also in some lifestyle habits that can accelerate this process. Indeed, after 30, collagen production on our skin slows down, resulting in a pace of 1% each year. The resulting wrinkles tend to be more tense around finer areas of the face, including mouth.
