One of the first visible indicators of aging is the development of wrinkles. Forehead wrinkles, crow's feet and laugh lines can start to arise in your mid to late twenties if you don't take the proper measures to deal with your skin. Applying sunscreen, staying hydrated, moisturising, exfoliating, eating a balanced diet, and avoiding tobacco can slow down the development of wrinkles.

Another effect of ageing is lessened skin elasticity. The tight skin on your face will begin sagging and drooping. The skin becomes droopy because of the effects of gravity on your less firm skin. While this may make your face look skinnier, studies show that older populations that are chubbier or fat seem to look younger than those that are thin. Application of cream for wrinkles and anti-aging moisturizers can promote skin hydration and smoothness.

Dry and itchy skin are also caused by ageing. Due to diminished oils, the skin becomes drier and itchier among older adults. It is strongly advised that those with dry skin, bathe or shower in lukewarm water as hot water can further dry out the skin.

The physical look of the skin is altered as it ages. Chancres, benign cancers and bruises become more and more common as we age. This occurs as the skin has had exposure to toxic polluntants from the environment and biologically, vein walls become thinner as we age.

Regular sun exposure speeds up the aging effect on your skin. The UV sun rays encourage burnt and dry skin. Moreover it's a predisposing factor for carcinoma of the skin. You have to therefore wear suntan lotion when out and about.

There is not any perfect system to stop the the natural process of getting older, but there are efficient and simple ways that we can do to fend off the appearance of the apparent signs of skin ageing.
