Fine Lines Q & A

What causes fine lines on your skin?

Fine lines are caused by the breakdown of collagen and elastin. This occurs naturally as you age and can happen prematurely when you’re exposed to UV rays from the sun.

Often, these lines first appear around the eyes and the corners of your mouth and can spread to other areas of your face as you age.

Can fine lines be prevented?

With proper skincare and prevention, you can reduce the appearance of fine lines and slow their development. Dr. Bushore often recommends a proper hydrating skincare regimen.

Using a skincare regimen that nourishes and moisturizes your skin, you can keep fine lines at a minimum. At Balcones Dermatology and Aesthetics, Dr. Bushore can help identify the right approach for you.

Beyond proper skincare, he also recommends quitting smoking and using a daily sunscreen. UV light from the sun damages your skin, causing fine lines that can quickly turn into wrinkles if left untreated. By wearing a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30, you protect your skin and reduce the development of wrinkles.

If you spend a lot of time outside, Dr. Bushore may also recommend wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, which can stop you from squinting, as the repetitive movement increases your risk of fine lines around the eyes.
