Do You Suffer From Early Skin Aging? Watch These Signs.

Skin expert Doctor answers our inquiries about early skin aging.

Our facial skin is very thin and sensitive, compared to the rest of the body. And maybe that's why we can see fine lines and wrinkles more easily on the face.

While skin/skin aging usually begins in their 40s, in some cases, people see these signs early. This is what we might call the premature aging of the skin.

 

Doctor consultant dermatologist and beautician, helps us decipher this phenomenon.

 

What are the causes of premature skin aging?

Premature skin ageing cannot be attributed to only one cause. Various environmental, hormonal and physiological factors have a profound impact on the skin.

However, ultraviolet radiation exposure to the sun causes the greatest damage.

UV rays penetrate to deeper levels in the skin and are often referred to as ageing rays.

In the case of high doses, these rays can cause darkening (a shop in skin color) and pigmentation of the skin, and accelerate the aging process by damaging internal collagen, making the skin look scaly, dry and curly, and with harsh texture in dark spots.

 

Other contributing factors include:

Stress, lack of sleep: Lack of sleep and stress also reduce the amount of other hormones within the body, such as growth hormones that help nourish the skin and hair.

Smoking: Which leads to the introduction of toxic chemicals into the body, which increases the number of free electrolytes, accelerates the aging process and harms skin elasticity. For this reason, people who smoke, drink and take drugs are often older than they are.

What are the signs of early skin aging?

Most of the damage is obvious, but one may not be in a position to judge properly. This is because the marks are very similar to the normal pyramid of the skin.

For example, damage caused by ultraviolet radiation exposure may lead to spider veins on the face, age spots and harsh tissue, and micro-wrinkles that appear only when stretching.

Soft spots and radial curvature (those rough, reddish spots that often appear around the eye socket, and on the cheeks) are also signs of early skin aging.

Similarly, drug use makes people develop very wrinkled skin. It is important to make a clear diagnosis of your skin and follow therapeutic procedures when noticing any of these signs of premature ageing.

 

How can one avoid premature skin aging?

1. Sunscreen: If you go out for a walk in the sun, the sunscreen, regardless of season, is very important for your skin's health.

2. It should be used daily by all individuals, including children, throughout the year, with other steps to sun safety in order to optimally protect against sunlight. The sunscreen should be used fully and evenly without forgetting any area of the skin that may be exposed to the sun.

3. Unprotected skin allows rays above the sun to penetrate the outer layer of the skin, which can cause problems such as skin cancer.

 

So you can put enough sunscreen on every time you go out into the sun to cover your body enough. Try to wait 30 minutes before going out into the sun to allow the ingredients to fully protect the skin.

In cases of swimming pools, or exposed lounges, don't forget to re-paint your body with the sunscreen every two to three hours or immediately after swimming, towel drying or exercise.

Certainly, when choosing a solar condom, you need to make sure that the protective layer it forms is able to protect against UV rays, for a long period of time by not "disintegrating."

• Good sleep: Make sure you get at least 6-7 hours of sleep a day. Good food: You should focus on eating whole meals, which contain vegetables, meat, fish and fruits, within a balanced diet.
• Avoid smoking and alcohol use.
• In addition, avoid making a lot of facial expressions because the lines become permanent.
• Also avoid sleeping on your side with your cheek on the pillow.

 

Follow these simple procedures to take care of your skin so that it not only looks good from the outside, but is also healthy from the inside.

 

What can be done if you have early skin aging?

If the damage to your skin has already occurred and the lines are already visible, there is still possible room for help. Skin rejuvenation can be made by applying healthy moisturizers to help moisturize and rejuvenate exhausted skin. When shopping for anti-aging products

Look for ingredients that are approved by dermatologists and have been clinically proven to effectively prevent the formation of wrinkles.

 

At what age does the skin start to age?

The skin begins to age when it stops producing the skin's confirmed protein collagen protein, thus losing some elasticity. This usually happens when you enter your 40s.

However, this may occur prematurely due to various factors discussed above.

 

Why does women's skin start to age faster than men?

Wrinkles are a sign of aging, and most of them are noticeable in the upper layer of the skin.

For men, the upper layer of the skin is 25% thicker than women, making it less susceptible to wrinkles.

Also, since men have more collagen content in their skin that is gradually lost compared to women, they tend to have wrinkle-free skin longer.

Another factor that may help men appear younger is the better protection of the skin (oily) than women against moisture loss and dehydration by producing more oil through oil glands.
