• Genetics are known to play an important role in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Other than genetics, sun exposure seems to be another big cause.
• Habits like smoking and consuming alcohol causes the skin to lose elasticity and so wrinkles and fine lines looks more prominent.
• Unbalanced diet and sedentary lifestyle are other causes.
• Stress is another big factor.
