Ageing Skin

What Are The Signs Of Ageing Skin?

We all wish we could wave a magic wand and look young forever. Unfortunately, we can’t stop time, but we can reduce the effects of time on the skin. Our skin ages for a variety of natural and inevitable reasons. However, there are environmental and lifestyle factors in premature ageing that we can definitely control for youthful skin in both men and women.

What you might not know is that the skin’s surface begins to alter around the age of 25. Fine lines and moisture loss usually happen at the start of this process, with three main signs appearing more noticeably over time:

Wrinkles

Fine, shallow lines such as crow’s feet and laughter lines start to appear in your 20s and 30s around the eyes, with wrinkles on the forehead appearing later.

Volume Loss

By our 40s, many people experience a loss of volume and sharp definition due to skin beginning to sag. You may notice a wider jawline, cheeks sagging a little and looser skin around the neck.

Loss Of Elasticity

Deepening wrinkles are a feature of more mature skin as collagen and elasticity levels decline with age. Skin can become drier and less plump as a result.

Causes Of Ageing Skin

Some of the causes of ageing skin are part of our genetics and cannot be changed. Hormone levels fluctuate as we grow older, resulting in skin cells not receiving the supply they need to remain buoyant. This is relevant for both men and women.  Family also plays a part, with your DNA affecting skin condition. If you have fair or sensitive skin, it may age quicker than darker skins.

The outer layer of skin, or epidermis, acts as a natural barrier to keep moisture in and toxins out. As time goes by, skin cell renewal slows down, meaning that skin becomes drier and more sensitive to the sun’s rays. Uneven pigmentation (brown patches) can occur and wrinkles may seem more pronounced. Pollution in the air triggers the skin to release free radicals which damage skin quality. A diet that lacks diverse nutrition and lifestyle choices, such as smoking or drinking quantities of alcohol, can also affect the nature of your skin.

Sustaining your body with nourishing food containing plenty of antioxidants and sleeping well can help in slowing down the ageing process. Even with a varied diet, it is tricky to guarantee that you are giving your body the full range of vitamins and minerals it needs to put the breaks on ageing. This is where natural and effective supplements can really help you to promote excellent skin and hair health, care for your digestive system and help restore a youthful glow as we age.
