Fine lines that don’t disappear when you are moisturizing and hydrating properly may be an indicator your skin cells are beginning to lose a little elasticity.
The repetitive facial muscle movements required to smile are the culprit behind the fine lines you see around the most expressive parts of your face—your eyes and mouth, which are in constant motion. Small muscles in these areas are always moving, and eventually a small crease appears and stays. Your neck is always in motion as well, and this is why you will see fine lines appear there.
