fine lines
Early aging signs
Fine lines are the subtle wrinkles that appear on skin as it ages, particularly around the eyes and mouth.
The term belongs to skincare marketing, where products promise to reduce or eliminate them: This serum targets fine lines and wrinkles.
Fine lines also describes narrow, often blurred distinctions: There's a fine line between confidence and arrogance.
