Aging sometimes shows up earlier than people expect. Spotting the first changes early helps you act quickly and preserve younger looking skin. The text below lists the usual clues - sun damage, texture shifts plus more - explains what each one looks like and what you might do about it.

Key Points

Sun spots and dark patches often arrive before other marks.
Tiny creases but also wrinkles are usually the first lines you notice.Skin stops snapping back - looseness develops.
Surface feel and colour alter little by little.
Skin turns drier as well as loses its glow.

Sun Spots and Dark Patches

Flat brown or black marks called sun spots, age spots or liver spots belong to the earliest group of changes. They settle on the zones that see the most daylight - the face, the backs of the hands or the shoulders. Years of ultraviolet light create them. Any small zone that turns darker than the skin next to it - hyperpigmentation - falls into the same warning group.

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

The skin factory slows its output of collagen and elastin, the two proteins that once held it tight and pliable. Once their levels drop, shallow creases form. The first lines usually frame the eyes, run across the forehead or circle the mouth. Repeated facial movements, ultraviolet light, cigarette smoke also heredity all speed the process.

Loss of Elasticity and Loose Skin

Elasticity is the skin's power to spring back after you pull it - that power fades with time - the surface slackens. The jaw the cheeks next to the neck reveal the change first - the crisp edge of the face softens.

Changes in Skin Texture and Colour

After years of wear the surface grows rougher, pores look wider and the colour turns patchy. A faint redness or a yellow cast sometimes shows up. Each shift is minor on its own - yet together they add years to the face.

Dryness plus Dull Skin

Older skin releases less sebum, its natural oil. The result is dryness and dry skin reflects less light - the complexion looks flat. The shedding of dead cells also slows - the piled up layer further mutes the natural glow.
