People in their 40's and 50's should expect changes in their physical appearance since they would undergo an obvious decrease in the levels of their hormones and the factors affecting their growth. And because most of the cell tissues have already accrued damages throughout the years, a decline in the efficiency of their functions is likewise anticipated. Among them, the skin is the most affected, and the marked decrease in the rate at which it repairs and renews itself becomes more apparent.
This is particularly conspicuous among women because it is during these ages that they are either on the verge of approaching or undergoing menopause, which causes a dramatic change in their hormones—their ovaries produce much less estrogens and progesterones. These in turn affect the union and/or production of collagen, elastin, and other important constituents of the skin. Also, the marked decrease in the oil of the skin leads to thinning and dryness along with other obvious changes. Although the decrease in men's testosterone level would also produce the same effects, it is not as conspicuous and drastic as that of the women. For this reason, professional skin care for women in their 40's and 50's has been especially created to replenish these lost components in their skin that could help decrease the obvious effects.
Here are the conspicuous results of aging skin:
Aging skin tends to have too much inflammation. Usually, age-related skin inflammations are not visible to the naked eye, but they are shown through cytokines, prostaglandins, and other high level inflammatory mediators. Inflammation triggers a raise in the propagation of dangerous free radicals that result to heightened level of cell damage, skin deterioration, as well as other problems.
The epidermis, the outer layer of the skin, dries up and becomes thick, which gives it a withered and dull look.
On the other hand, the dermis becomes thin and enfeebled. This is the layer that gives the skin its strength, resilience, and firmness. Once it weakens, it leads to the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.
Wrinkles and creases that form from movements of our facial muscles and other muscles due to facial/body expressions/reactions either develop or become deeper. Motion wrinkles is the term used for the developing wrinkles or creases that form in the area where the skin is most likely to fold as a result of the movements of the facial muscles.
Facial sagging and a tired worn out appearance would result from the slackening of the muscles in the face and the loss of subcutaneous fat.
Although all of us are bound to grow old and our physical appearance would eventually succumb to it, it does not mean to say that the signs of aging could not be controlled or slowed down in any way. In some cases, early prevention through proper moisturization and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle and wellbeing can help either keep the wrinkles at bay or slow down their formation. Also, it helps to begin early prevention by avoiding sun damage.
