The first wrinkles can appear from the age of 20. They are mimic wrinkles that begin to appear when we wrinkle our nose, raise our eyebrows and make faces when we talk and laugh. They occur on the bridge of the nose and forehead, and they also form on either side of the nose. The mimic wrinkles are horizontal and vertical.
After 35 years, wrinkles begin to appear around the eyes, the so-called "crow's feet". They occur earlier in women who often squint. In the same period, folds may appear that go from the wings of the nose to the corners of the mouth, these folds on the face are called "rictus".
