What is aging skin? How to care for aging skin

Skin aging is the topic that women are most afraid of hearing. This shows that aging is very frightening for women. Therefore, many women will use a lot of anti-aging essences to prevent the formation of fine lines. However, it has no effect on some aging skin. So what exactly is aging skin?

Every woman does not want her skin to age, but skin aging happens in an instant. So, can we judge whether the skin has begun to age from the symptoms?

What is aging skin

Symptoms: Pale and wrinkled appearance, slight atrophy due to increased thickness of stratum corneum, loss of muscle elasticity, reduced firmness, and loose skin.

Characteristics: Decreased skin tissue function and reduced elasticity.

What are the symptoms of skin aging?

1. Wrinkles on the skin

Skin wrinkles can be divided into dynamic wrinkles and static wrinkles. The most common ones are frown lines, forehead wrinkles when frowning, crow's feet and other fine lines around the eyes when smiling. These are all related to our facial expressions. If the dynamic wrinkles are not very obvious, there is no need to worry about them for the time being. What we need to worry about are static lines. As we age normally and make facial expressions repeatedly every day, dynamic lines will slowly turn into static lines. Once they become static wrinkles, it is more difficult to improve them. Many people in their twenties also have static wrinkles. First of all, this has a lot to do with genes. Genes are very powerful and we have no way to control this. Another reason is that it is related to whether you take good care of your skin on a regular basis. In the future, I will tell you in detail how to care for your skin and how to choose cosmetics for wrinkles.

2. Dull skin

In fact, as we age, our skin keeps getting darker, and there is nothing we can do to change this fact. What is the reason for this? Because without intervention, our skin continues to produce melanin, which is a manifestation of the skin's self-protection. Normally, the melanin produced by our skin when exposed to ultraviolet rays will absorb the ultraviolet rays. However, if the limit is exceeded, for example, if we often stay outdoors without applying sunscreen or taking other protective measures, excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays will cause more melanin to be produced, making our skin darker and making us look older.

3. Loose skin

Sagging skin is a normal phenomenon as we age. There is no way to reverse it. Everyone will grow old. Look at our parents and grandparents. When they reach that age, their faces appear to have more wrinkles, are less full, and sag. Why is this? Because as we age, the aging and relaxation of deep facial tissues such as muscles and fibrous support bands will cause the fat pads within them to fall off, resulting in an aged appearance. For example, relaxation of the orbicularis oculi muscle can cause the orbital fat to herniate and form eye bags. The aging and relaxation of the fibrous support band deep in the zygomatic and orbital regions causes the fat pad there, also known as the apple muscle, to sag, deepening the nasolabial folds. Our cheekbones, frontal bones and mandibles become arched and expand outward as we age. All these make our face look loose and sagging.

How to care for aging skin

1. Stay hydrated

Increase the moisture content of skin cells

2. Nutritional Supplementation

Provide sufficient nutrition for the metabolism of skin cells and fibers to ensure their normal function.

3. Antioxidant repair

Improve the skin's antioxidant capacity, prevent free radical damage to the skin, repair injured skin cells in time, and maintain the skin's normal metabolic state.

4. Cell Regeneration

Stimulate skin cell regeneration, reproduction, and replacement of aging and dead cells
