Wrinkles and aging spots can show up as early as your 20's and 30's. This is caused by the production of collagen slowing down as you age. Collagen gives your skin a youthful elasticity. Following a regular skincare routine is a significant part of keeping skin healthy for longer and slowing down the appearance of aging.
When Does Aging First Start?
While aging typically becomes more acutely visible in your later 30s and into your 40s, the reality is that the damage begins substantially earlier. Anti-aging products should really be incorporated into your skincare routine in your 20’s and 30’s. If initiating a skin care routine sounds intimidating, it is wise to begin with the the basics like a gentle cleanser and moisturizer. Don't forget that in addition to your normal routine, sunscreen is an important part of your routine, especially during the March-September period when the sun is the most intense and UV damage is the greatest.
Also, it goes without saying, but smoking isn't great for your skin. Eating a well-balanced diet, avoiding exposure to the sun, and staying hydrated can help.
As you get older, adding products that include alpha hydroxy acids, retinol, and beta hydroxy acids such as the Aloe Firming & Rejuvenating Serum, along with vitamin C serums to your skincare routine will help slow down the signs of aging.
Aging Issues
There are two kinds of skin aging, intrinsic aging and extrinsic aging. Intrinsic aging happens from the passage of time and the action of reactive oxygen. Intrinsically aged skin is smooth, pale, unblemished, dry, less elastic, and has fine wrinkles. This is purely a result of aging vs. environmental impacts. Aloe Firming & Rejuvenating Cream is a wonderful product that can help restore your skin and help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Extrinsically aged skin has deep wrinkling and is coarse to the touch. In addition, the appearance of spider veins, mottled or irregular pigmentation, a yellow or sallow complexion, and a loss of elasticity. Fairer skin is affected more than darker skin. The external factors contributing are diet, smoking, chemical exposure, exposure to UV radiation, and trauma.
Other issues that show up as you age are that skin becomes slack, rougher, more transparent, fragile, and easily bruised. In addition, changes that occur below the skin are fat loss in the temples, chin, nose, eye, and cheek area. This can cause your skin to look loose, have sunken eyes, and have a skeletal appearance.
There is also bone loss around the chin and mouth after around the age of 60. This can also cause the skin to pucker around your mouth. In addition, the cartilage loss in your nose can cause your nasal tip to droop. This would accent the bony structure of your nose.
