What are the Results of Aging on Skin

By Andrea Hamilton


One of the first signs of aging are facial wrinkles. Forehead wrinkles, crow's feet and laugh lines can begin to manifest in your mid to late twenties if you do not take the proper measures to deal with your skin. Applying sun lotion, staying hydrated, moisturizing, exfoliating, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding cigarettes can help prevent the development of wrinkles.

Another effect of aging is lessened skin elasticity. The tight skin on your face will begin flagging and drooping. The skin becomes droopy due to the effects of gravity on your less firm skin. While this can make your face look skinnier, clinical reports show that older populations that are chubbier or overweight seem to look younger than those who 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 ageing. Because of the depleting oils, the skin becomes drier and itchier among older adults. It is strongly advised that those with dry skin, shower or bathe in lukewarm water as hot water can further dry out the skin.

The appearance of the skin is changed as it ages. Ulcerations, benign growths and bruises become more common as we get older. This occurs as the skin has been exposed to dangerous polluntants from the environment and biologically, artery walls become thinner as we mature.

Regular sun exposure speeds up the ageing effects on your skin. The UV rays of the sun cause burnt and dry skin. Furthermore it is a predisposing factor for carcinoma of the skin. You must thus wear suntan lotion when out and about.

There isn't any absolute system to stop the the natural process of aging, but there are simple and effective ways that we can do to forestall the appearance of the tangible indicators of skin ageing.
