Wrinkles are primarily caused by a decrease in collagen and elastin, two proteins that provide skin structure and elasticity. Additionally, the breakdown of hyaluronic acid, which helps retain moisture in the skin, contributes to the formation of wrinkles. Factors such as aging, sun exposure, and lifestyle choices can accelerate this degradation, leading to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
