    		your fingers are much smaller than your knee, so the difference of the skin appears is greater and you get wrinkles. Since your knees are bigger, the skin has a bigger surface area where it can spread and so no wrinkles form.

    did that make sense?

    		because we use our hands more than we do our knees. the skin gets stretched and with time skin loses its elasticity and the result is wrinkles
