Depending on where you are age-wise, you probably have noticed changes in your skin as the years have gone by. One day you glance in the mirror and you look just like you did the day before. The next day, you look in that same mirror and suddenly notice fine lines around your lips or slight wrinkles on your neck.
What?!?!
Time takes toll. It’s inevitable. But knowing that sure doesn’t make it any less jarring when it happens.
During each stage of life, especially for women, each decade brings changes in skin tone, elasticity, and hydration. An article in Real Simple discusses each decade. Briefly,
– The 20s. Skin care professionals hear from patients that their skin is beginning to show a slight dullness and is beginning to look tired.
– The 30s. A transition time when you begin to see the signs of aging and sun damage.
– The 40s. A time when you really start to see big changes in skin firmness and its ability to spring back.
– The 50s. Post menopausal women experience thinning skin and reduced elasticity.
– The 60s+. It’s never too late to start anti-aging treatments.
Maintaining beautiful, young-looking skin requires commitment and a consistent skincare routine, along with a good diet, regular exercise, sun screen use, and plenty of hydration. In addition, professional skin care treatments can help with sagging skin, wrinkle-reduction, blotches and brown spots, and much more.
The only thing constant in life is change. And one of the best ways to deal with changing skin as we age it is to be proactive.
