The skin is a vital organ and our first line of defense against the external environment. It’s composed of three layers—epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis—each populated by specialized cells that maintain its function and appearance.
As we age, the turnover of these key cells slows down. The skin becomes thinner, loses moisture more quickly, and starts to slacken, revealing the earliest signs of aging.
Skin aging is a multifaceted process influenced not only by genetics but also by environmental and lifestyle factors—dermatologists estimate that up to 80% of aging is driven by things like sun exposure, pollution, and smoking.
In fact, this process begins as early as our twenties: collagen—the protein that gives skin its structure and firmness—declines by about 1% each year. Over time, those subtle changes become increasingly visible.
The Different Stages of Skin Aging
- In your 30s, the skin begins to show small wrinkles and fine lines on the forehead and at the corners of the eyes: these are the famous frown lines and crow's feet. Fine lines may also appear around the mouth.
- By your 40s, the proteins that keep skin firm—collagen and elastin—begin to break down more rapidly. As a result, skin loses elasticity and firmness, expression lines deepen, and facial contours start to shift.
- Once you reach your 50s, aging accelerates further, especially after menopause. Hormonal changes slow cell renewal and can reduce collagen by up to 30% in the five years following menopause. This leads to more noticeable sagging around the jawline and eyelids, deeper wrinkles, and an increase in sunspots on UV-exposed areas.
- After 60, all signs of aging become more pronounced. Cell turnover and lipid production decline sharply, microcirculation weakens, and skin grows thinner, drier, and more fragile—resulting in a duller, less even complexion.
