Changes that can happen to your skin as you get older
Wrinkles and Fine Lines
– As collagen and elastin production decreases, wrinkles and fine lines become more noticeable, particularly around the eyes, mouth, and forehead.
Dryness
– The skin's ability to retain moisture diminishes, leading to dryness and a rough texture, which may require more intensive moisturizing.
Age Spots
– Also known as liver spots, these small, dark patches can appear on areas frequently exposed to the sun, such as the face, hands, and arms.
Thinning Skin
– The skin's layers become thinner, making it more fragile and prone to bruising or injury.
Loss of Elasticity
– Skin loses its firmness and elasticity over time, leading to sagging, particularly around the jawline, neck, and under the eyes.
Slower Healing
– The skin’s regenerative process slows down, causing wounds, cuts, and bruises to take longer to heal.
– Enlarged PoresWith age, pores can appear larger as the skin loses elasticity and collagen, especially in areas with more sun exposure.

Uneven Skin Tone
– Hyperpigmentation and changes in skin tone can occur due to sun damage, hormonal changes, or the natural aging process.
