Age Gracefully: The Fine Line Between Wrinkles and Deep Wrinkles for Men
Skin rhytides, or lines and wrinkles, aid in the evaluation of skin quality. Generally, the levels of rhytides that manifest can vary based on their visibility and severity:
No visible lines: The skin is smooth without any visible lines or wrinkles.
Fine Lines, but no wrinkles: This level is characterized by very fine lines that are barely noticeable, usually only apparent up close or when facial expressions are made. They are often found around the eyes and mouth due to smiling, squinting, or other facial expressions.
Early Wrinkles: These are visible lines that are especially apparent with facial movements but may not be clearly visible when the face is at rest.
Deep Wrinkles: Visible lines and wrinkles are apparent even when the face is at rest. They are typically found in areas of frequent movement, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth.
For men, wrinkle-free, fine wrinkles, and early wrinkles skin is better than a deep wrinkled skin. Grogan et al. (2009) discuss how young adults associate being young with having wrinkle-free skin, highlighting societal expectations and personal appearance concerns. Hamer et al. (2017) further emphasize the significant role of wrinkle-free skin in reflecting a person’s general health and emotional well-being, noting that the absence of wrinkles is often targeted in cosmetic enhancements to improve appearance and is highly valued for its association with youth and health. Swift et al. (2021) contrast intrinsic and extrinsic aging processes, explaining that intrinsic aging leads to fine wrinkles and more uniform pigmentation, while extrinsic factors like UV exposure and smoking contribute to more severe skin issues such as coarse wrinkles and mottled complexion. They conclude that maintaining wrinkle-free skin, which shows resilience against aging, is considered more attractive, underscoring its importance in societal and aesthetic contexts.
