We all age, just at different rates. How soon your skin reveals signs of aging depends on your lifestyle choices and skin care routine.
Here are 4 ways your skin changes as you age:
1. Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production decreases, which decreases your skin’s ability to “snap back.” This leads to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin, especially around the face, neck, décolletage, and hands. This also leads to a loss of volume which creates a sunken or hollow effect.
2. Exposure to sun and environmental aggressors leads to freckles, skin discoloration, age spots, sun spots, liver spots, and hyperpigmentation. This most commonly occurs on the face, hands, arms, back, and feet.
3. Skin naturally produces less oil and sebum because it has fewer sweat and oil glands, and its ability to retain moisture declines, so skin can become dry, rough, and itchy.
4. As we lose collagen, elastin, and fat cells under the skin, skin can become thin, more transparent, and crepey.
