Our top 5 Anti-aging tips
Want younger-looking skin?
Your skin seems to have its own plans. Maybe those wrinkles are deepening at an alarming rate. Or perhaps it just feels like the image in the mirror doesn’t reflect how young you feel.
Premature ageing can look different for everyone, but there are steps you can take to help prevent, slow, or reverse the signs.
If you’ve been wondering, “why am I aging so fast?!” keep reading for our top tips on reclaiming and sustaining a youthful glow.
What is premature ageing?
None of us can avoid the ageing process.
Some of your body’s processes naturally start to decline in your 20s and 30s. Collagen and elastin production, which provide the skin’s structure and elasticity, slow down. And your skin produces less Hyaluronic Acid, which helps your skin retain hydration. Over time these things combine to make your skin appear “older”. You might start to notice crow’s feet, lines around your mouth, thinning and sagging skin, or bags under the eyes.
Premature ageing is when you experience these symptoms earlier than average.
Premature ageing looks different for everyone, but these are some common signs to look out for. And an approximate age range for when they appear.
Wrinkles or sagging skin
The decrease of collagen in your 30s combined with frequent facial movements can lead to your first fine lines and wrinkles, although there’s no set “norm” for when wrinkles appear. Sun exposure, pollution, and dehydration can also have an impact.
Dry or itchy skin
As your skin ages (prematurely or otherwise), it thins. And thinner skin is more prone to dehydration. After 40, you might notice that your skin is dryer, flakier and may even itch.
Pigmentation
A common sign of ageing for people over 50 are sunspots (also called age spots or liver spots). These flat brown spots on your skin are caused by years in the sun. This means they’re likely to appear on exposed areas like your arms, hands, or face.
