What are the Results of Aging on Skin

By Andrea Hamilton


One of the first visible indicators of aging are facial wrinkles. Forehead wrinkles, crow's feet and giggle lines can begin to manifest in your middle-to-late twenties if you don't take the preventative measures to take care of your skin. Applying sun blocker staying hydrated, moisturising, exfoliating, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding cigarettes can slow down the development of wrinkles.

Another effect of aging is diminished skin elasticity. The tight skin on your face will start drooping and drooping. The skin becomes droopy thanks to the end results of gravity on your less firm skin. While this may make your face look skinnier, research suggest that older populations that are chubbier or fat look younger than those that are thin. Application of cream for wrinkles and anti-aging moisturizers can promote skin hydration and elasticity.

Dry and itchy skin are also caused by aging. Due to lessened oils, the skin becomes drier and itchier among older adults. It is usually recommended that those with dry skin, shower or bathe in tepid water as hot water can further dry out the skin.

The physical look of the skin is changed as it ages. Chancres, benign cancers and bruises become more common as we age. This happens because the skin has been exposed to harmful polluntants from the environment and biologically, artery walls become thinner as we mature.

Regular sun exposure speeds up the aging effects on your skin. The UV sun rays further burnt and dry skin. Additionally it's a predisposing factor for carcinoma of the epidermis. You should thus wear sun lotion when outside.

There is no absolute method to stop the the natural aging process, but there are simple and effective ways in which we can do to fend off the appearance of the apparent signs of skin aging.
