The network of elastin ( protein which causes the skin to stretch ) and collagen fibres ( major structural proteins in skin ), which support the outer layer , loose and unravel, causing depressions on the surface.
Facial Muscle Contractions
Lines between the eyebrows ( frown lines ) and lines jutting from the corner of the eyes ( crow feet ) are believed to develop because of small muscle contractions. Similarly frowning, squinting and other habitual facial expressions cause these wrinkles to become more prominent.
