We all know that as we get older the skin on our face begins to sag and wrinkles start to form, but do you know why this is? More significantly, do you know how we can slow and improve the signs of ageing?
The Ageing Process
Facial ageing is a natural process that occurs as every person gets older. Each layer of the face is affected differently, contributing to the overall aged appearance we see.
Skin Changes
The first thing you may notice is wrinkles appearing on your forehead, as well as around your eyes (known as crow’s feet) and around your mouth (often referred to as lipstick or smoker’s lines). There are two types of wrinkles – dynamic – noticeable when you make facial expressions like smiling and frowning – and static, which develop when you lose skin elasticity and are visible all the time.
Losing skin elasticity (your skin’s bounce-back ability), collagen (which gives your face its structure and firmness) and hyaluronic acid (that keeps your skin hydrated) is expected from the age of around 25, when our levels begin to decline. If you’re a woman, then you’ll lose these three key skin components at a much faster rate during peri-menopause, as the hormones that help produce them also start to decline. The resultant effect is usually thin, dry, wrinkled and sagging skin.
It’s also normal to see changes in your skin’s pigment, with darker patches appearing on your face, chest and hands. This can be caused by a combination of age, sun exposure and pollution.
