The seven signs of ageing

Beautiful skin is a greater signifier of youth than being free of lines and wrinkles. However, the skin is quick to show the visible signs of ageing, commonly known as the Seven Signs of Ageing. While some of the skin-related factors can be reined in with healthy lifestyle choices and a good skincare regime, many of the characteristics of ageing are a matter of genetics.

1. Fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles are the most evident and often most concern-causing signs of ageing for men and women. Wrinkles are a result of the elastin and collagen fibres, which keep our skin firm and taut, weakening. This leads to skin looseness and laxity and the subsequent wrinkles.

2. Dullness of skin

The glowing, dewy skin of youth slowly fades with age. The result is a dulled complexion due to the depleted moisture levels in the top layer of the skin, which naturally occurs with age. While young skin renews itself at every three to four weeks, older skin is slower to renew itself at every four to six weeks.

3. Uneven skin tone

Ageing causes the complexion to become uneven in certain places. This may be due to parts of the skin harbouring more melanin than others, or the function in the hormonal levels in females. This unevenness can lead to skin looker older than its years.

4. Dry skin

Young, healthy skin has a high moisture content, leading to a fresh, dewy and radiant appearance, Over the ageing process this depletes as the skin loses its ability to retain the moisture. Older skin is often characterised by dryness and dehydration.

5. Blotchiness and age spots

Thinning skin associated with ageing leads to the increased visibility of tony bloods vessels that appear. Age spots or liver spots, which are reddish or brown in colour, are caused mostly by over-exposure to UV rays and become more evident in ageing skin. They produce a blotchy look that contributes to an aged appearance.

6. Rough skin texture

As the skin matures, changes in texture become noticeable. Skin that was once baby-soft and smooth becomes uneven and bumpy on the surface due to the layers of dead cells and the cell turnover slowing.

7. Visible pores

Pores become enlarged or more visible with age due to loss of skin elasticity and skin being drawn down by gravity.

What causes our skin to age?

There are a range of different factors that cause our skin to age both as a result of the natural ageing process, environmental and lifestyle factors. Ultra violet rays are a major contributor to skin ageing in Australia, although smoking, stress, medication, climate, alcohol and several others way in.

The seven main factors that age skin faster comes down to:

– Smoking

What is a weak jawline?

sknclinics.co.uk - Weak Jawline: Causes, Symptoms and Treatment - sk:n Clinics

A weak jawline is defined by its rounded angle and soft edge. A common characteristic among those with a less pronounced jawline is that the mandible, the lower jaw, is often set further inwards – towards the neck – rather than outwardly protruding. Whilst a recessed jaw does not necessarily mean you have an abnormally small jaw or a ‘bad jawline’, a less framed face can conflict with our own perceptions of beauty and may affect our self-esteem. The main causes of a weak jawline are often hereditary, where an undefined jaw may be a familial trait. Age can also impact the appearance of your jaw as throughout the years, chemical declines of collagen and elastin occur within the dermis layer of skin which causes the skin to physically sag. Any loose and ageing skin may therefore exacerbate an already receding jawline (known as retrogenia). Loss of soft and bone tissue is also experienced as we get older, known as osteoporosis, which may also contribute to a weaker, softened jawline.
