The 10 Most Common Signs of Aging

The first signs of aging start to become apparent on the surface of the skin from around the age of 25. The first to make their appearance are the fine lines, while wrinkles, loss of volume and loss of elasticity become noticeable over time. Our skin ages for a variety of different reasons. Many of the causes of skin aging are entirely natural and cannot be altered. There are, however, several factors that can cause skin to age prematurely, and these can be influenced.

THE 10 SIGNS

1. Crow’s Feet

“Crow’s feet” are the little wrinkles at the corners of the eyes and can be caused by smiling or squinting.

2. Wrinkles Around Your Eyes

In addition to crow’s feet, wrinkles might also appear under your eyes or between your eyelids and your eyebrows. Another common sign of aging is the appearance of bags under the eyes.

3. Age Spots

Oftentimes, discoloration of the skin is concentrated into small dots, that are called “age spots” and they are simply the result of skin worn over time. Sunspots are caused by extended exposure to the sun’s UV rays and are the result of excess melanin production that can occur at any age.

4. Laugh Lines

Nasolabial folds – or in other words “laugh lines” – are lines that run diagonally from the sides of the nose to the corners of the mouth. These lines are caused by repeated facial expressions and movement.

5. Droopy Eyelids

Droopy eyelids are definitely one of the most common signs of aging. The skin is extremely thin, so it is common for women of a certain age to develop droopy eyelids.

6. Décolleté Wrinkles

The skin on your décolleté, or the part of your chest below your neck and above your breasts, is notoriously thin. This makes it easier for wrinkles and creases to form from side sleeping, sunbathing, and natural aging.

7. Frown Lines

Frown lines are the wrinkles that appear between the eyebrows and the forehead. When two vertical lines form between the eyes, they’re called “the 11s.” These wrinkles can be caused by anything from laughing or smiling to squinting and frowning.

8. Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles, or brow furrows, are yet another one of the most common signs of aging.

9. Loose Skin On Your Cheeks And Along Your Jawline

As the elastin in your skin cells begins to break down, your skin may sag. Your lower cheeks and jawline are particularly susceptible to droopy skin. When sagging occurs along your jawline, the condition is referred to as “jowls”.

10. Crepey Skin

Crepey skin, or “elephant skin”, is the term for dry, coarse skin that feels rough to the touch.

Fighting The Signs Of Aging: 4 Everyday Beauty Tips

In your battle against aging, there are some cases where the use of “heavy guns” is required and some other cases where you can fight with simpler and more natural means. Before going in to your doctor’s office with surgical plans and requests for fillers or Botox treatments, there are four simple beauty tips that you can use on your everyday routine. Let’s take a look below:

1. Beauty Sleep

Beauty sleep can make a huge difference in your skin’s appearance.

  • Getat least seven or eight hours of sleep every night.
  • Sleep on your back to avoid scrunching up the skin on your face and chest.
  • Satin sheets help reduce friction between your skin and the fabric.

2. Skincare

Taking a great care of your skin will definitely help reduce the signs of aging!

  • Gently wash your face and body.
  • Dry your skin with a soft towel.
  • Do not rub your skin, just pat it.
  • Use face cleansers to wash your face.
  • Use lukewarm water that cannot dry out the skin.
  • Keep your showers as short as possible. Frequent washing and drying your skin can cause skin dehydration.
  • Moisturize your skin several times a day.
  • Exfoliate once or twice a week.
  • Apply sunscreen everyday with an SPF 30.

3. Healthy Diet

A healthy diet is essential in the fight against all forms of aging, not just the signs of aging skin.

  • Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables.
  • Drink a lot of water.
  • Eat foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon, avocado, almonds etc.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption.
  • Do not smoke.

4. Exercise

Getting fitter, even by a little bit, can improve your health and the appearance of your skin and body.

  • Aerobic exercises, such as jogging, may help reverse some heart damage from normal aging.
  • Walking – another form of cardio – could help reduce the risk of heart failure.
  • Strength-training moves like tai-chi are best for preserving muscles from age-related decline.
  • Cycling may also protect your immune system from some age-related decline.
  • Cardio workouts improve the look and feel of your skin.

5 Benefits Of Microneedling Treatment

2018 systematic review found that microneedling is a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the skin and treat scars and wrinkles. A press release from the American Academy of Dermatology also states that people can expect a reduction in the “appearance of large pores, fine lines and wrinkles, scars and stretch marks.”

What Are The Benefits?

1) Rejuvenate Your Skin

By the term “skin rejuvenation”, we mean building up new collagen and elastin, tightening up the skin, and reducing the appearance of large pores and fine lines.
Microneedling rejuvenates skin through the healing process that happens after the “injury” of those tiny needles.

2) Reduce The Appearance Of Scars

Microneedling can reduce the appearance of unsightly scarring. In a study titled “Microneedling Therapy in Atrophic Facial Scars: An Objective Assessment”, 34 out of 36 microneedle patients “achieved a reduction in the severity of their scarring by one or two grades. More than 80% of patients assessed their treatment as “excellent” on a 10-point scale.”

3) Make Wrinkles Less Visible

Microneedling makes the wrinkles less visible thanks to a boost in collagen production that fills and smooths your skin.

4) Avoid Chemical Peels

Microneedling could be a good option for you, if your skin is too dark for a chemical treatment, like a facial peel.

5) Treat Yourself At Home

While we recommend going to a professional, there are special tools for a homecare kit. It’s less expensive than an in-office procedure, and since the needles are shorter and blunter, it’s not quite as uncomfortable. But of course, since the “injury” is not as deep, the results won’t be as noticeable.

Microneedling treatment can be combined with several materials such as Hyaluronic acid, vitamins and your own blood – CLEOPATRA TECHNIQUE TM.
