Age-related changes in facial skin. Care for changing skin.

It is known that signs of skin aging are not equally found in different parts of the body. The most vulnerable are exposed skin, especially the face and neck. Where does it all begin?

First, soft tissue elasticity decreases. The first messengers of the beginning of changes are subtle wrinkles in the corners of the eyes, first appearing with laughter or conversation. Typically, such wrinkles are noticeable when tired - after a bad sleep or a hard day, but over time they become more and more easy to see, especially in places with active facial muscles.

Such wrinkles can appear very early, by the age of 20-25, before the skin loses its turgor. By the age of 30, age-related skin changes become more pronounced and previously almost imperceptible longitudinal wrinkles on the lower and upper eyelids become more pronounced, form β€œcrow's feet”. Then the wrinkles of thinking β€” transverse wrinkles on the skin of the forehead β€” become more and more distinct. Vertical folds appear on the bridge of the nose, giving a youthful face an expression of sadness, and for older people - an expression of discontent, antipathy. The nasolabial folds become deeper.

Wrinkles form at the corners of the mouth, as if increasing its size and lowering the corners of the mouth. Facial expression at the same time becomes more mature, strict, severe and even sad.

Older people have thinner skin than younger ones. This is due to the disappearance from it of collagen fibers, of which the dermis mainly consists. Elastic skin, left without support, becomes less stretched and contracts, which leads to the formation of wrinkles.

In childhood, due to the subcutaneous fat layer of the face, pleasant roundness is pronounced, especially for the cheeks. However, during puberty, the amount of fat is significantly reduced: the eyes begin to seem deeper, the cheeks are extended, the nose appears sharper.

In most 35–40-year-old women, age-related skin changes manifest themselves in a slight increase in the subcutaneous fat volume of the face. It fills the increasing volumes of skin on the face. However, this age-related fullness lasts only until age-related cachexia, illness or artificially induced weight loss leads to a decrease or disappearance of the fat lining of the skin of the face.
